RSM Enhances Access to Vital Information With Powerful Search Capabilities | 2008-08-01 | Oracle |
| The Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) wanted to consolidate search engines, eliminating the need for separate engines for internal and external Web sites and enhance access capabilities, preventing external users from accessing information and ensuring that internal users can search only information for which they are authorized. The challenge was to deploy a search engine that is easy to administer by nontechnical personnel and gain the ability to add information and sources quickly to the search engine. RSM implemented Oracle Secure Enterprise Search as RSM's new search engine and integrated Oracle Secure Enterprise Search as a portlet in a single-enterprise Oracle Portal installation, allowing external and internal users to use the same portlet and search engine.

Technology Company Enhances Productivity, Customer Service With New Search Solution | 2008-07-01 | Microsoft |
| NetIQ wanted to provide its sales force with up-to-date product and strategic information, but the company's intranet was difficult to use. Many of the approximately 2,000 employees stored critical information in shared folders, making it necessary for others to check multiple sources for relevant documents. To improve information access, NetIQ moved to an intranet solution that takes advantage of the enterprise search capabilities of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Sales people now have a single, searchable source for timely, accurate information, which has increased their productivity and responsiveness to customers. NetIQ now develops new features more quickly than with the previous intranet, making the new solution more cost-effective and a better return on investment.

| With increased reliance on its enterprise content management system and corporate intranet for information sharing and access to data in back-end systems, construction company Skanska USA Building needed a way to help people easily find information they required to do their jobs. The Enterprise Search capability in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides a single solution for searching across shared files, document repositories, and other unstructured information; information in line-of-business systems and other structured data sources; and directories of people and their associated expertise.
