Why use Search Technologies

We're what you're looking for.

Electronic records are overwhelming businesses today. ARMA International, the records management association, estimates that more than 90% of all business records created today are electronic.

Moreover, best practices in contemporary information- technology management urge development of comprehensive record-retention policies to respond to legal, regulatory, fiscal and administrative demands.

Enterprise-search technology offers relief when dealing with the avalanche of electronically stored information.

How’s your “Findability?”
All enterprise search engines are not created equal. Your organization might have a search engine in place. Unless you can retrieve information quickly and conveniently, you won’t realize a satisfactory return on your IT investment. Productivity declines; labor costs increase; employee frustration spikes up; and even morale takes a hit when your staff can’t retrieve the right information at the right time.

Precision AND Recall
The costs of disk space, memory and processors continue to decline. Once, it made sense to retrieve more data than was needed to ensure finding all relevant information. Today, due to enormous growth of databases and document collections, precision has supplanted recall as the key and desired attribute in enterprise search. “…a company’s users are most interested in…ensuring that they retrieve documents that best reflect the meaning of their queries…,” as one expert in computational linguistics said.
