EasyAsk For The Enterprise

Accelerating Results Through Information and Insight
Information drives business excellence. Barriers to information bring business to a halt. EasyAsk for the Enterprise helps organizations facilitate and expedite the delivery of critical information — regardless of the format or where in the enterprise it resides — to the employees and business partners who need it. More than a search tool, it's a productivity tool that helps organizations succeed.

EasyAsk for the Enterprise provides highly advanced search-and-retrieval capabilities that support all query methods — including advanced plain-language queries — and return a single, unified view of all relevant results. It is easy to use so your IT staff doesn't have to help users locate and gain access to information. Yet organizations can highlight new content and time-sensitive events, influencing the user experience.

Valuable Business Benefits

• Accelerate decision-making and business transactions. Create confident, knowledgeable users, giving them on-demand access to information that is complete, precise and relevant.

• Instill confidence and loyalty. Empower employees and partners by seamlessly and consistently putting the right information into the right people's hands.
• Extend the value of existing IT investments. Leverage distributed corporate information and business intelligence while creating dynamic structure where none currently exists.
