Microsoft FAST ESP / Microsoft SharePoint Search Practice

Microsoft's acquisition of industry leader FAST has created both an incredible number of opportunities and questions.

  • When will SharePoint users be able to access FAST's advanced features?
  • How will Microsoft partners get up to speed on FAST ESP?
  • What does this mean for FAST's Linux ESP version?
  • What's to become of FAST's OEM InStream product?  And other products?
  • And how will this all affect pricing?
