Enterprise Search is a complex problem.. But we all understand search; we use it every day and it all looks so easy doesn't it?

Unfortunately, it's not. Internet Search and Enterprise Search are very different problems.. This doesn't mean that you can't provide your end users with a consumer-oriented experience, augmented by the lastest technology. 

Users usually want a simple yet feature rich interface which allows them to find relevant content quickly and easily, whilst at the same time giving them the confidence that their search solution has all the data. That's why it’s important to start with the correct technology choice at the heart of your solution; Autonomy’s IDOL Server. 

In the Enterprise information is everywhere; files, emails, Document Management Systems, CRM Systems, ERP, Intranets, Wikis, RDBMS's...The list is endless and growing.

Autonomy IDOL Server can unify all of this in a single search solution, not only the content itself but also the complex security models that protect the document entitlement for each content source. Enterprise Search is a complex problem but one that can be greatly simplified by Autonomy's unique IDOL technology.

The scalability of IDOL Server, coupled with the sheer breadth of connectivity to any data source in the Enterprise, across multiple platforms, territories, language barriers and file formats is perhaps best appreciated in the way it can be applied to Pan-Enterprise Search for a Global Organisation.

Okana have deep understanding of Enterprise Search as a technology platform and a business tool, right through from specification to operational support and ownership. True Pan-Enterprise Search solutions require ongoing ownership and support. Users require new collections to be brought online and new functionality to be exposed. Our experience with production IDOL-powered search solutions is invaluable; from small Intranets right through to some of the largest  IDOL Pan-Enterprise Search solutions in the World.

Most of our customers already have some experience with search technology and typically have at least some idea of what they want from search; from a consumer-oriented experience to a grander Knowledge Management-style vision. To deliver on this we typically deploy our own consumer-oriented SENSE products, Autonomy’s out-of-the-box search Interfaces or build bespoke next generation Meaning Based Search Applications. 

We can also integrate IDOL into existing Enterprise Applications, Intranet Portal sites or support your own IT department with a bespoke development, all with a view to deliver the IDOL Pan-Enterprise Search solution which is exactly right for your organisation.

So if you already have a search interface in mind, we’ll realise that vision for you and probably offer lots of ideas you didn’t think of to help your specific organisational needs for this tool.

Regardless of the size of your organisation, technology platforms, number of content sources, documents, security models, geography, languages, users or requirements for your search interface, Okana have the skills and experience to architect, build, deploy and maintain an Autonomy Pan-Enterprise Search solution to meet your needs.
