WebFeat Enterprise

Designed for multi-library networks, WebFeat Enterprise Edition offers the most sophisticated profiling and authentication functionality available.

Now featuring the WebFeat Enterprise Administration Manager for easy management of multi-profile systems.
With multi-library networks, the whole is far greater than the sum of the parts.

Networks have special requirements - granular authentication, profiling, usage tracking, and more. Single-library products are inadequate to the task. The choice of solutions can make the difference between a professional implementation and a long and costly project.

No one knows networks better than WebFeat. WebFeat Enterprise Edition delivers professional solutions backed by years of experience. WebFeat Enterprise Edition is used by 17 statewide networks and dozens of consortia serving thousands of libraries ­more than all other federated search engines combined.

WebFeat Enterprise Edition addresses every unique network requirement: WebFeat Enterprise Edition is configured using the new Enterprise Administration Manager (EAM). With EAM, administrators can easily set up and administer dozens, even hundreds of discreet library or branch profiles, with the ability to import global configuration information from the parent system.

WebFeat Enterprise Features

Authentication - Networks require discrete multi-library identification and authentication into the federated system. WebFeat Enterprise Edition supports all major site authentication methods, including IP and referrer URL.

Profiling - The ability to present different views and access privileges to different member libraries. WebFeat Enterprise Edition offers the ability to set up an infinite number of profiles. Profiles may include different database lists, authentication credentials, even completely different look and feel. WebFeat Enterprise Edition also offers the ability to seamlessly augment common network-wide database collections with those from individual member libraries.

Usage tracking - The Enterprise Edition of WebFeat's SMART usage tracker can report enterprise-wide usage, or usage by each individual member library.

WebFeat Enterprise Edition simultaneously identifies multiple libraries by IP or referrer URL. WebFeat Enterprise Edition can display custom database menus, user interfaces and use each library's discrete authentication for its subscription databases.
WebFeat Enterprise Edition can be configured to support any network nomenclature, from single shared systems to hybrid systems, fusing local resources with those offered by the central network. A wide array of profiling and authentication options are available, enabling the system to recognize incoming libraries and respond with the appropriate profile of databases, authentication credentials, and user interface.
