Accio is a web-based search tool for Software teams that helps boost productivity and promote knowledge sharing. This all started when we built this tool to help our fellow software project team members. All around us we saw that that software development/support teams, had to access a minimum of FIVE SYSTEMS to get their job done. Defects/Issue Systems, Document Systems, Source Code Systems, Emails etc. Consequently, they were spending significant amount of time searching for information, and not actually getting their work done. Accio provides a single window access across all these systems. It also uses orders the search results based on the role of the searcher. Accio is currently available as an on-premise installation. You can download, configure and start searching in a matter of hours.

  Do you have an intellectual property license from JK Rowling, or are you hoping to be lawyer-profitable by the time it's noticed?

    :) Pretty sure the Romans have prior art: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/accio https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/accio

    :). No IP from JK Rowling. Just a huge fan of Harry Potter. And not making enough money to afford a lawyer! Thought the name was relevant for a search engine. I specifically did not mention Harry Potter in the website to avoid such a scenario. You still think I am treading dangerous waters here? Maybe I should knock-off/rephrase the section from my website.

      IANAL, but I’d be careful. I’m not a Harry Potter fan, but even that was my first thought. Even if it’s based on Roman word, the prevalence of Harry Potter and Accio as a summoning (aka search and retrieval) spell may be enough to get Warner Bros involved.

The video link looks like it would show a demo (which it should) but actually it just contains marketing fluff.

  Working on the working demo as well... I was sure folks would want to have a feel of the product. That is why I have added a section on my landing page called "Accio Play" which takes you to a vanilla hosted version of Accio that you can play around with. I thought that would be much better than a video demo of the product.

    Moved the "Hands-on Demo" button up to the top most view port of the landing page so that one need not scroll down check out the demo
