Enterprise Search
Enterprise Search, what is it exactly?
Companies and government agencies of all sizes produce numerous reports, presentations, emails, customer and contract data every day.
This generates, stores, sends and archives a high volume of data at an ever-increasing rate, at an ever-increasing speed.
Since this large amount of data is stored in a wide variety of locations throughout the company, it is a major challenge for employees to find the relevant information easily and quickly.
And this is exactly where Enterprise Search supports you, i.e. you get intelligent access to all your important information: Through our AI-supported “enterprise” search engine, you can find documents faster and process them in a targeted manner.
Our solutions range from simple searches in an application, enterprise search, knowledge management, the creation of digital workplaces, to intelligent text analysis of large amounts of data, as well as intelligent document processing.
To do this, we use a full range of AI and machine learning techniques, as well as Natural Language Processing.
Our approach enables efficient searching, finding and analyzing of structured and unstructured information in all internal and also external data sources. In this process, data from a wide variety of data sources and formats is made efficiently searchable, networked and correlated with each other.
Our approach enables companies and government agencies to provide employees e.g. in Customer Care, Production, HR, Compliance, Data Protection etc. with important data quickly and efficiently.
Enterprise Search makes the existing knowledge in your company more usable. All knowledge can be shared across locations and the company-wide search means that you can always find the right experts in your company, for example.
AI-powered search goes one step further. It uses artificial intelligence to not only search for words, but also to understand what the employee is really looking for. This saves time and makes work more efficient.
Advantages of AI-powered search:
- Faster search: AI can search huge amounts of data at lightning speed and display the relevant results.
- Intelligent results: AI understands context and displays not only exact matches, but also similar or relevant information.
- Better decisions: Employees can make more informed decisions because they can get to exactly the right data faster.
- Time savings: Fast and precise searches save employees a lot of time, which they can use more productively.
What is best practice for building AI-powered enterprise search:
- Understanding the requirements: First you need to understand what kind of information is being sought. This can vary depending on which company it is.
- Collect and organize data: All relevant data must be collected and organized so that the AI can understand it. This can be a lot of work, but is critical to a good search.
- Choose AI technology: There are different types of AI technologies. You have to choose the one that best fits the needs of the company. These can be chatbots, machine learning or others.
- Training the AI: The AI must be trained to understand the specific queries of the employees and to find suitable answers. This requires time and expertise.
- Continuous improvement: AI-powered search is not unique. It must be constantly improved to keep pace with the changing needs of the business.
- Security and privacy: It is important to ensure that the data sought is secure and that employee privacy is maintained. This is a crucial aspect of implementing such a search.
