Key benefits for business users

A single point of access to data

PolySpot Enterprise Search provides a single point of access to all data, via which users can instantly interact with all available information resources, both within and outside the company, and regardless of whether the data they contain is structured or not.

Avoid strategic and decision-making risks

Poor distribution of knowledge and information prevents decision-makers from making informed judgements and can have a severe impact on key strategic areas of any business.
PolySpot Enterprise Search enables employees to focus on their core activities, with instant access to all the information they need to make a quick, effective decision. It also allows users to create alerts for specific topics and/or to receive relevant, real-time information tailored to their individual profile (push).

Process raw data to create relevant and valuable information

Freshly-produced, out-of-context data are neither useful nor meaningful to users and decision-makers.
PolySpot Enterprise Search uses a conversion and semantic enrichment module to standardise and contextualise raw data to produce instantly usable information. By combining information from different repositories, this enrichment process helps to facilitate and accelerate information-sharing within a company.

Preparing for the unexpected

All companies need to prepare themselves for the unexpected, by ensuring that they have the necessary resources in place to anticipate and react to events.
PolySpot solutions not only helps you to overcome known issues, it also gives you the resources you need to respond to unfamiliar problems that may occur in the future

Knowledge transfer and expert identification

PPolySpot Enterprise Search helps to quickly identify experts on specific topics, giving the company access to precious knowledge that would otherwise be lost.

Cost-effective access to application content

For a variety of reasons, there are many specialist applications that cannot be accessed by all potential users. These include licence cost issues, obsolete systems, migration costs and applications that are excessively technical or difficult to use.
By using a search engine, the data locked inside these closed applications can now be shared and distributed with ease, providing a cost-effective way to capitalise on existing applications.

Key benefits for the Information System

Evolutivity

All connectors are developed and maintained by PolySpot, using a development environment that offers guaranteed interoperability. The solution is capable of handling more than 500 document formats, ensuring that applications can be changed with no threat to data access.

Openness and deployment made easy

The PolySpot Information At Work platform offers access to wide library of services via open API's (Java and XML/HTTP) and can therefore be used to develop search applications in no time, featuring user-friendly and intuitive user interfaces.

High availability

For PolySpot's customers, the slightest problem with data availability can have serious financial consequences. PolySpot Information At Work is based on an SOA, distributed architecture (distribution, replication and sharding), to ensure that the solutions offer a high level of availability.

Versatility and performance

PolySpot Information At Work combines the performance of an index and the versatility of a database to offer unrivalled search capabilities.
