The challenge

Putting a new enterprise search software solution into place required an executive-level vision and strategy by partnering with BA Insight. The vision is described as making information easy to access and bringing it as close to each person as possible. They wanted to provide employees with the frictionless ability to find other experts within the firm and share that information with them for the purpose of collaboration.

How they did it

The solution to their pain points included a combination of the following:

  • Salesforce and SQL Connectors to integrate all corporate data into a single search index, along with all content stored within SharePoint. This directly addressed awareness around “everything the firm can offer” by enabling access to this data across all employees.
  • Salesforce In-App Search to integrate the single search application directly within Salesforce, so employees who worked every day in Salesforce could find all the necessary data without ever leaving Salesforce.
  • Visual Refiners to enhance the search user experience allowed employees to quickly find the correct data or expert for their specific issue.
