Life Sciences
Many leading pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences companies, such as Novo Nordisk, have deployed the Google Search Appliance to enable their researchers to access clinical data and share information. Our Enterprise search solutions are designed to offer your end-users the same ease of use and comprehensiveness as Google.com. The Google Search Appliance is an integrated hardware and software product that uses Google's powerful search engine technology to bring universal search to your business.


How you'll benefit
  • Capture and leverage knowledge - Ensure that all the knowledge you have captured in Documentum and other content repositories is useful - by making it universally searchable. The Google Search Appliance is designed with the ease of use for a researcher (or any other employee) to find exactly what they are looking for.

  • Ask the Expert - Equip your researchers with the right tools to connect with other experts across the company. The Google Search Appliance has a built-in feature to find an internal expert on any given topic, and can connect with the directory system to provide their contact information.

  • Reduce time to market - According to research from IDC and Accenture, knowledge workers spend more than 25% of their time searching for information, often unsuccessfully. If every researcher in your company saves time in finding and sharing information, the overall time to market for your products can be slightly reduced.

Essilor - Essilor is the world leader in ophthalmic optical products, selling over 195 million lenses a year to over 200,000 retail outlets worldwide. To manage information across the organization, Essilor initially implemented Microsoft Sharepoint. While creating content with Sharepoint was easy, it was extremely difficult for users to find, retrieve and share data. Essilor decided to implement the Google Search Appliance, and within two weeks, had it up and running in its headquarters. "The Google Search Appliance is wonderful," says Julien Vielle, Project Manager. "Our employees are thrilled with its ease of use and the relevancy of its search results."
