  • Getting Started with Enterprise Search

Enterprise Search is fundamentally changing the way we work with and access information. A 2007 South African market analysis on intranets and portals found that searching for information was the most important capability of the corporate intranet. The same study, however, showed that 86% of respondents were not effectively using Enterprise Search.

 

Enterprise Search is the single trusted location to easily find information regarding the organisation and its people. It can benefit the organisation through productivity improvements by saving staff time when looking for information. This is an important factor when considering that various studies have shown that knowledge workers spend 30% (or more) of their time searching for information.

Organisations are seeing a growth in data as information workers increasingly create a diverse set of digital content: e-mail, files, wikis, blogs, discussion forums, team workspaces, and so on. This digital content is becoming harder to find and manage. Consequently, organisations are increasingly looking for enterprise search solutions to help their employees easily find and manage this growing pool of unstructured information.
