Features and Benefits
- Search results are always up to date and data security is maintained Connects to and searches each resource as a named user, maintaining data security in each system and removing the reliance on overnight or other timed indexing processes or methods. By always having access to the most up to date information you can be confident that your decision making process is robust and risks associated with potentially out of date information are reduced.
- Optimise searches for different users and groups Content type and department profiling of resources ensure searches are targeted and personalised to meet the specific needs of users, work groups, departments or regions/offices.
- Personalise and share information Personalised bookmarking and tagging of results support the creation of collections that link content across different information resources. The result is a series of personalised and dynamic knowledge bases that can be shared and searched throughout the organisation.
- Simple and advanced search interfaces Connectors to each resource can be pre-configured to ensure the resource is searched in the right way each time it is accessed. Furthermore, advanced search interfaces can be configured to meet the specific needs of an office, department, work group or even specific content types.
- Extensive library of supported connectors An extensive library of connectors supports access to more than 4,000 different services. This ensures that you do not need to pay expensive consultancy charges to get what you need. An expanding community of users continues to suggest and request new connectors and these are being added all the time.
- Comprehensive audit and usage reporting Automatic recording of every search of every resource. Every result clicked is recorded and audit records link each access to the original search to support advanced usage reporting. Knowing what your users search for and where they go for information helps administrators review and improve the system on an ongoing basis.
- Easy to configure, fast to deploy and low cost of ownership An easy to use and configurable interface means that you control what the solution looks like and how it works, this helps to deliver improved usage, reduce duplication of effort and keeps deployment and ongoing training costs low.
- Standard and easy to manage infrastructure A single server can be used to deploy the solution, even in the largest of organisations. This means changes to existing infrastructure are minimal and low cost, it ensures that there is a low impact on IT resources and overall cost of ownership is lower than any comparable solution available.
