Sixth Sense - Enterprise Search


Main Challenges

The term "Enterprise Search" is used to describe the application of search technology within an organization which may be geographically distributed to provide information to its employees. The main challenge faced by the end users is that the information they are looking for to make a decision or to use the previous information into a new document that is getting prepared is available at some department within the organization which he has no knowledge about. This results in productivity loss to him and to the organization as well. The information may be available in various sources such as in file servers, document management systems, databases, web portals and in various file formats. The challenge to the organization is to make those information available in a centralized location for its employees to search and use it effectively in their day-to-day work.

Solution

NLP Lab’s Sixth Sense Enterprise Search Solution is built on a scalable and extensible platform to address the above mentioned challenges. The product has inbuilt crawlers which supports different protocols to pull the information from various sources and index them at a centralized server. The crawlers can be configured to access the sources at a scheduled time of a day when the network activity is relatively low. The pull technology solves the concern of the organization because the users are not required to push the files into a centralized location. Now the information is available in a centralized server, the end users can search for the information they need without any loss of productivity.

Sixth Sense Enterprise Search helps organizations increase their productivity, maximizing the value of the existing information resources, and faster ROI on its deployment.
