TNR has worked with the FAST ESP product since 2004, from version FAST Data Search (FDS) 3.2 up through version FAST ESP 5.3. In 2007, FAST Search and Transfer was acquired by Microsoft. It is Microsoft’s plan to use powerful FAST style technology for their public search engine, Bing.

This drives revenues and reduces total cost of ownership by effectively leveraging IT infrastructure. FAST ESP is known for its scalability, relevancy, and reliability.
