Digging through mails and documents to find the company policy? Forgot where the file with important client information was stored? Want to access all of this information with the tap of a button? The future is here.

In today’s content-rich world, finding valuable information swiftly is paramount. However, there are misconceptions about the nature of enterprise search and its impact on organizations. As enterprise information has grown more complex and information sources more varied, users have grown to expect a similar experience to searching on the Internet.

Integrating Generative AI (GenAI) into search technology not only accelerates information retrieval but also enhances the precision of search results, thus facilitating quicker decision-making for your organization. It has the capacity to digest all information and supply a well-formed answer to a question with references to source documents, thereby streamlining the process of discovering information from the bulk of your enterprise content.

Even in the era of GenAI, successfully deploying a generative search solution in organizations goes beyond mere access to powerful foundation models. It needs to ground model outputs in specific data, so that they are less likely to include mistakes. Robust safeguards are essential to protect enterprise content, and a high-performance, scalable process is crucial.

Enterprise Search enables generative search functionality within the trove of information your organization possesses by facilitating search engines that ground outputs in specific content sources to ensure accuracy and relevance. It can handle multimodal content, including images, and offers controls for how answer summaries are generated. Enterprise Search also allows users to ask follow-up questions as they explore outputs through multi-turn conversations, enabling faster closure in the decision making process.

Its your key to:

Improved productivity: According to a report by IDC, the knowledge worker spends about 2.5 hours per day, or roughly 30% of the workday, searching for information. Another report by McKinsey talks about how a searchable record of knowledge can reduce, by as much as 35%, the time employees spend searching for company information. The capacity to enhance time management skills is a significant advantage, and Enterprise Search can empower users to achieve unparalleled productivity.

Enhanced relevance: Say goodbye to traditional keyword-based searches. Enterprise Search leverages the latest innovations in Generative AI and embeddings to understand content relationships and user intent, and provide contextual responses. That means you get results that matter.

Faster information retrieval: You can build AI-powered search engines for both customers and employees. Enterprise Search can quickly index and search through large volumes of content, making it easy for users to find the information they need.

Informed decision making: Enterprise search can help department heads and leadership teams make better decisions by giving them access to useful information they need, without all the noise.

Case in point – You want to know if the NDA with company X, your long-standing client, has a termination clause. Previously, you’d have to look for that document and read through it. Now you can just ask that question and receive an answer. This question scales easily over all your NDAs or other documents.

Extending this to your existing customer data, imagine being able to seek answers to high-level queries to the totality of thousands of recorded customer phone call. You can derive statistics and patterns directly by asking questions of this haystack of content, and receive the informative needle you were looking for. This is unprecedented, a true competitive advantage in today’s digital world.

Industries of all types are harnessing GenAI-powered Enterprise Search to transform how they manage and extract value from their data. Some popular industry-wide use cases include:

• Inventory search: Conduct in-store search, replacements, other stock information, to get an accurate snapshot of the inventory
• Lookup for employees by skills to build projects: Explore centralized enterprise content to find the right people for staffing/consulting/planning by high-level parameters like profiles, expertise, work history
• Customer support: Offer first-call resolutions to customers by providing a differentiated client experience, enabled by GenAI-powered contextual conversations
