News and discussions forums from around the world are available in different forms, from RSS feeds to NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) Usenet Groups. NNTP servers on the Internet consist of a vast collection of newsgroup postings and information providing everyday users to large corporations with an effective and important vehicle of communication.

Virtuoso News Services enable integration of multiple news forums whether they reside in an internal corporate intranet or externally on the Internet.

More than just a NNTP news reader, Virtuoso News Services has the ability to perform a powerful Usenet text search where by news content that resides in Virtuoso is dynamically indexed to provide keyword searches across multiple forums. With this service it is possible to configure automatic notification based on matching text search or XPATH conditions on incoming news.
