History

Blossom Software was incorporated in 2000 to commercialize Internet agent technology developed by one of its founders in the late 1990s. The company offers the software agents using an Application Service Provider (ASP) model to provide back-end support for Web sites and data mining from the Web.

Blossom's first service was Search.Blossom, a search facility for one or more Web sites. By spidering, indexing, and hosting a search engine, Blossom allows Web sites to have a best-in-class search facility without installing special software and with no programs to learn or maintain. Blossom runs multiple servers that are distributed geographically to achieve very high reliability. Over the years, the search engine has been enhanced to support communities (Affinity Search) and large enterprises (Enterprise Search).

In addition to search, Blossom offers Web data mining and monitoring services that allow companies to harvest data from Web sites to create up-to-date directories, to test Web pages for specific content, and to watch pages for change. Like Search.Blossom, mining and monitoring are offered using the ASP model, making it easy for companies to integrate harvested data with more traditional data feeds.

A principal advantage to clients of the ASP model is that software and hardware upgrades are implemented transparently. The software that runs Blossom's services is regularly enhanced, often based on feedback from clients, providing more features and better performance. Likewise, the servers are upgraded on a regular basis to maintain fast response times and strict security.

Even with its advantages, there are times the ASP model is not the best solution. To provide search on intranets behind firewalls, Blossom distributes the InSearch software suite for creating, running, and monitoring search indexes. InSearch runs under all modern versions of Windows.

Finally, although the foundation of Blossom Software is technology, the mission of the company is service. We provide our clients functionality not headaches, solutions not problems. We'd be delighted to work with you.
