SEARCH SOLUTIONS FOR LIFE SCIENCES

 
Many leading pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences companies, such as
Novo Nordisk, have deployed the Google Search Appliance to enable their researchers
to access clinical data and share information. Our Enterprise search solutions are designed
to offer your end-users the same ease of use and comprehensiveness as Google.com. The
Google Search Appliance is an integrated hardware and software product that uses Google's
powerful search engine technology to bring universal search to your business.

 
 
How you'll benefit

  • Capture and leverage knowledge - Ensure that all the knowledge you
    have captured in Documentum and other content repositories is useful - by
    making it universally searchable. The Google Search Appliance is designed with the
    ease of use for a researcher (or any other employee) to find exactly what they are looking for.
  • Ask the Expert - Equip your researchers with the right tools to connect with
    other experts across the company. The Google Search Appliance has a built-in
    feature to find an internal expert on any given topic, and can connect with the
    directory system to provide their contact information.
  • Reduce time to market - According to research from IDC and Accenture, knowledge
    workers spend more than 25% of their time searching for information, often unsuccessfully.
    If every researcher in your company saves time in finding and sharing information,
    the overall time to market for your products can be slightly reduced.
