OSEO Opts for a new Search Engine With PolySpot
PARIS, October 26, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
The public-sector institution which finances the innovation
and growth of SMEs has chosen PolySpot to be the technological platform
behind its new internal search interface
PolySpot ( http://www.polyspot.com), a leading vendor of enterprise
information search and access solutions, has today announced that its
PolySpot Enterprise Search solution has been deployed by OSEO as an
infrastructure for cross-functional search and internal data access.
Making access to information more straightforward, more efficient and
more intelligent
Before choosing PolySpot Enterprise Search, OSEO had been using the
search engine supplied with its open source content management system and
had a Java-based directory. Indexation of data was restricted to the
intranet and the search engine picked up too much 'noise'. The users, unable
to locate required information quickly, were no longer satisfied with the
existing search engine which offered basic functionality.
The teams headed by Frédéric Vincent, Information System and Quality
Assurance Manager, then started looking for a solution better suited to user
requirements and which had the potential to be a cross-functional
application providing relevant data, ease of use and high added-value for
end users. After carrying out a detailed study of the various solutions on
the market, OSEO decided on PolySpot, whose solution stood out in several
significant areas: implementation cost, security and relevance of output.
"PolySpot Enterprise Search has enabled us to index all unstructured
content from various fragmented sources, while providing a more intuitive
interface, to which our in-house users have quickly become accustomed.
Thanks to PolySpot, our searches are much more relevant and intelligent,"
states Frédéric Vincent. "Navigation through the results is much more
straightforward; any document can easily be found in one or two clicks," he
adds.
An intuitive user interface and the adoption of the tool on a massive
scale
Apart from the technical advantages, PolySpot Enterprise Search also
makes it easy for users to customise their internal search tool, which was
not possible in the past. Search results are more relevant and users can
refine their search thanks to the faceted browsing offered to them. PolySpot
also suggests topics linked to their searches in the form of tag clouds
containing key words or expressions. Finally, they can access the
application at any point using a widget on their desktop, meaning that they
can submit a query without having to quit their current applications.
"This initial joint project with PolySpot has been a success. We are
already planning the integration of new sources such as collaborative areas,
a document management portal then oseo.fr in the coming weeks," says
Frédéric Vincent.
"The OSEO project demonstrates our ability to meet both IT and
functional requirements. With its robust, high-performing and competitive
platform, the IT Directors at OSEO have found PolySpot Enterprise Search to
be a solution which meets these requirements, and more specifically, those
of the business users, who spend a significant portion of their time
searching for information. PolySpot gives these end users an appropriate,
simple tool with an intuitive interface which is much easier to use than the
previous tool," says Gilles André, CEO of PolySpot.
