SAP unveils search engine for retrieving information from enterprise and external data sources   18th September 2006 SAP has unveiled Enterprise Search, an application that allows users to easily locate and leverage critical business data from internal and external sources SAP says, the new and enhanced capabilities work across a company's existing IT infrastructure, pulling content from SAP and non-SAP systems, just as they would on the Web. With the release of SAP Enterprise Search, following on the heels of the successful release of SAP's business intelligence accelerator early this year, SAP says that it is continuing to drive information to mass audiences within the enterprise. Both offerings allow users to achieve the same experience they have grown to expect on the Web, only now transparently provided from a multitude of structured or unstructured enterprise sources. SAP Enterprise Search is designed to support users who are overwhelmed by data and challenged to effectively locate information across multiple information sources inside and outside the enterprise. “ Enterprise search is fast becoming mission-critical software for enterprises,” writes Matthew Brown, senior analyst, Forrester Research, in “The Forrester Wave: Enterprise Search Platforms, Q2 2006, Forrester Research, Inc., June 2006.” “Over the past five years, vast improvements in the quality of public search engines has raised the bar for what employees expect to get from search inside the enterprise. As a result, search technology is taking center stage, and it's playing an important role in markets as diverse as eDiscovery, business intelligence, security, media and entertainment, and eCommerce. Over the next five years, we'll see more and more companies turn to search solutions to help navigate the rising tide of digital information.” “ Enterprise search is a novel new user experience for enterprise applications,” said Shai Agassi, president of the Product and Technology Group and member of the executive board, SAP AG. “We have demonstrated that in order for people to be efficient they should get access to their information in the way that best fits the context of their current task. SAP Enterprise Search makes enterprise applications instantly usable for everyone.”
