License the Ask Jeeves Software for Your Enterprise, Hello to Jeeves One
From the article, Called JeevesOne, the question-answering software works like the Ask Jeeves Web site, retrieving answers to specific questions asked by the user. Prices for the software offered by the Emeryville, Calif.-based search engine company start at $100,000. Ask Jeeves had been offering the technology as a service to corporate customers such as Dell Computer Corp., Ford Motor Co., and Verizon Communications but said most of its customers preferred a self-service product that they can operate themselves. "We've been offering this as an ASP, but over the past few years we've learned that customers wanted it in-house, inside their firewall, where it is secure. And you just can't have that with an ASP," said Ask Jeeves spokeswoman Michele Mehl.
