Fast Search & Transfer (FAST), a developer of enterprise search and real-time alerting technologies, has announced that the City of Chicago has deployed FAST Data Search on its government portal site (www.cityofchicago.org), enabling residents and users to search and retrieve public information. Currently fully deployed on the Department of Procurement Services page, the City of Chicago is expanding its use of FAST Data Search across all of the 46 departments on the portal. FAST's enterprise search solution was deployed as part of the City of Chicago's transparent government initiative, which is intended to increase public visibility into city operations, make city services more accessible and convenient, and enable Chicago residents to more easily search and retrieve information about their city.
