Sinequa Dials In Siemens

September 16, 2011

With so much information available to companies, it is no surprise that they are dealing with search overloads resulting in too much, poorly organized, information. As a result a new industry has emerged offering their clients solutions to better manage information. The article, Siemens Uses Sinequa Business Search to Find Synergies in Technology Projects of its Divisions Around the World, on Decidio, explains how one company has utilized these new search optimization skills.

Siemens Corporate Technology announced they are using Sinequa Business Search to help optimize searching for technology projects. The article reports (translated):

Stefan Augustin, Principal Consultant and Project Manager at Global Information / Knowledge Management at Siemens Corporate Technology, lists other positive experiences of the first projects: a research platform that is flexible and highly reliable with scalable performance; connectors between many sources of data, ready for use, the a high level of security that protects the confidentiality of documents perfectly.

Sinequa explains the problem businesses face with information overload in terms everyone understands – money. According to Sinequa’s website, employees spend an average of five hours a week sifting through data looking for usable information. That translates into $5,000 to $20,000 a year in wasted money, per employee, for companies. By offering customized, industry-specific searches, Sinequa cuts that wasted time dramatically saving money and boosting employee performance.

As more and more information is becoming available, from a variety of sources, companies of all sizes from around the world are feeling the inadequacies of current commercial search engines. The customized industry-specific search optimization market is exploding with need and desire. As more and more tech companies announce successes, it will be no surprise to see the face of data search change to meet the growing demands.
