Search and discovery
We take for granted the ability to use search engines on the Internet to find information to inform decisions and make our lives easier. So why do so few organisations have a similar capability across their own data?
Discover new insights and bring your data to life
There is increasing pressure for search capability within the enterprise. We need fast access to trusted data to inform decision making and provide new insights to improve business outcomes.
Imagine if you and your colleagues could lookup information for themselves. For example to:
- Find the proposal that had that really great description of our product’s features and benefits;
- Find all references to a data subject to comply with a data subject access request;
- Find customer contracts that contain a clause variation; or
- Find the answer that one of our product experts gave to a similar question in customer services.
The use and benefits to the business are manifold and always result in a more efficient organisation that’s fulfilling customer expectations better than your competition. And if that’s not justification enough, consider the reaction of millennials as they join your workforce (if they haven’t already) when they discover that you don’t have search in your organisation!

It would take that person 5,290 years at a cost of £202 million to read just one terabyte of data!!! If they started reading at the end of the Stone Age, they would be close to completing it about now…”
