Case for Search

Access to information equals productivity

It’s that simple – and that critical. Google’s fast, effective search solutions put your company’s information at your users’ fingertips via an integrated hardware/software solution that’s extremely economical to deploy and maintain. Here’s why Google search isn’t just an option, but an important business requirement.

Google search inside your company:

• Increases the time users spend on your website - Knowledge workers spend up to 25% of their day looking for information.¹ Good search helps them find it (and then use it) more quickly.
• Acts as a gateway - With Google OneBox for Enterprise, employees can easily access many different corporate information sources with a simple search query.
• Reduces redundant work and duplication of effort - Good search helps employees build on work done by others, instead of starting projects from scratch.
• Encourages collaboration - Employees frequently find themselves working on projects similar to those going on elsewhere in an organization. Good search puts people in touch.
• Unifies search - Employees can easily search the corporate network, their desktop and the Internet from one search box with Google Desktop for Enterprise combined with the Google Search Appliance or Google Mini
• Eliminates manual document categorization - Building out complex navigation structures or trying to manually add metadata to documents is time-consuming and unnecessary with the Google Search Appliance.
• Grows with your information - The volume of information in your company is growing, and Google’s scalable search solutions can easily accommodate this growth.

Google Search on public websites:

• Delivers user to relevant content - Regardless of the purpose of your website, search is the key to help all your visitors find the information they seek, quickly and easily.
• Exceeds user expectations - Visitors expect your site’s search to work as well as Google.com, so it’s only by providing Google-quality search that you can be sure to meet their high expectations.
• Increases customer satisfaction - Search is the gateway to self-service support online. When customers find answers to their support-related questions, not only will they be happy but they won’t pick up the phone to call you.
• Boosts sales - Visitors using site search know what they are looking for, and are more than twice as likely to convert to buyers.²
