Effective search is a difficult problem to solve for most organizations. The challenge of tackling complex interdependencies between source systems and trying to satisfy stakeholders with different search needs can be daunting. Unfortunately, poor search isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a liability. The inability to find critical information when it’s needed most diminishes trust in systems impedes employee learning and leads to less than optimal decisions.
The good news is, these problems can be solved.
Search-based applications enter the findability fray promising to shape enterprise search in a manner uniquely suited to tame the information explosion challenge. These applications have the inherent ability to aggregate information from multiple systems while applying contextually relevant domain knowledge, allowing them to answer questions not readily available from any single source system.
