MARCH 2018CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM6The Need for New Age Search ToolsAs the volume of data to be handled is increasing by the second, it is becoming tougher to procure relevant information per the requirement. There is a constant need to have ready access to data for business operations, regulatory compliance and business intelligence. The adoption of analytics, machine learning and high-powered search engines in this situation, will only change the way people use and find information. Efficient enterprise search software is already making employee's work simple with access to the mission-critical information they need in real time. Modern enterprise search software pulls information from various sources such as CRM, ERP, HR Management Suites, or Supply Chain Management Suites. However, these platforms need to fulfil minimalistic demands such as collecting and updating information from different data sources, types, and formats, index or archive data, provide intelligent search options to auto-complete, find similar, or rank by relevance and creating an interface to search and retrieve data. Moreover, in the age of "cloud servers" aiding enterprises to avail the search features via cloud platform for quick response time is also a necessity. This setup will not only ensure readily available data but also support scalability by reducing infrastructural and maintenance costs. Fortunately, many companies today have come up with a plethora of solutions. The editorial team at CIO Applications has scrutinized the list of solution providers to present to you the Top 10 Enterprise Search Solution Providers - 2018. This edition of the magazine also contains insights from industry experts. We hope you enjoy this edition as much as we enjoyed putting this together.
