GOA Technologies
and OnCorp Direct Inc. announce the launch of a Comprehensive
PreSearch application,
as well a new relationship between the two companies
Montreal, September
7th 2004
.
GOA Technologies of Montreal announces that it has entered into
a distribution agreement with OnCorp Direct Inc. of Toronto. Under this
agreement, OnCorp will exclusively offer on its website, www.oncorp.com, the
state-of-the-art online Comprehensive PreSearch application that is built and
powered by GOA's proprietary search engine CloserLook™ to clients in Canada.
CloserLook™ is the "Invisible Web" data search and aggregation
engine developed by GOA Technologies.
"Anyone planning to register a new business or incorporate
a named company should first do a Comprehensive Pre-Search. The last thing that
business owners need is to be wrangling over who is the rightful owner of their
company’s name," says Rani Advani, CEO of OnCorp Direct Inc. The comprehensive
report that customers receive when they order a search can also be used as an
investigative tool to locate unregistered or expired businesses.
Comprehensive PreSearch is a cutting-edge online application that
facilitates the retrieval of company information from public and government
directory sources on the Internet, including Internet domain names. It enables
users to verify whether a proposed name for a new business or trademark is
available for registration. It also enables companies to monitor against
illegal use of their existing trademarks and business names by other entities.
This sophisticated search application addresses the business and
legal communities' growing need to retrieve meaningful data from numerous
databases with a single Web query. It bridges the gaps left by existing
business name databases that do not provide sufficiently broad coverage. The
comprehensive report produced by the search is useful for business and
trademark name clearance and monitoring.
"We are very excited," says GOA founder and
President Sumithra Jagannath. "Now the power of GOA's CloserLook™
search technology can be placed in the hands of a large number of users all
over Canada. To be able to do so on OnCorp's established and respected platform
is a win for every client as well as for both of our companies."
OnCorp Direct Inc is a recognised leader in providing public record
search and registration services, and is under contract with the Ministry of
Consumer and Business Services to provide direct electronic access to Ontario's
official record of business information. Thousands of members of the
government, legal and financial industries, business community and the general
public alike choose OnCorp to fulfill their information and filing needs.
GOA Technologies is a leading provider of search and data
aggregation solutions from the Internet. Its flagship product
"CloserLook™" is a platform that facilitates the rapid development
and deployment of intelligent search applications. This platform consists of an
aggregation engine and tools necessary to build applications that intelligently
collect and analyze business information from the "invisible web" at
Internet speed.
