The right hits or just googling away the hours?!

More than 18% of working hours in Swiss businesses are spent on information searches today.The intelligent enterprise search engine Canoo FindIT enables you to save a large proportion of this time.

Data are no longer produced centrally in organizations. Numerous applications daily generate new information which is stored in various formats and systems. This leads in turn to ever more time consuming information searches. The average loss in working time amounts to a colossal 18% in Switzerland according to the consultants Dr. Pascal Sieber & Partners. This translates to a yearly total of around $ 20,000 googled away per employee.

The intelligent enterprise search engine Canoo FindIT enables the rapid expansion of the enterprise knowledge base. Thanks to a combination of a comprehensive dictionary and sophisticated text analysis software with the cumulative knowledge of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, Canoo FindIT is able to efficiently retrieve all pertinent information from all digital sources. In addition, it returns not just endless lists of keyword hits, such as established full text search tools like Google. Instead it analyses information content too, recognizing correlations that have not been requested literally.

"Canoo FindIT far exceeded our expectations. Since the integration of FindIT Similar in our media portal the number of page hits and the visitors' duration of visit have significantly increased.

At the same time we have been able to completely do away with the editorial linking of articles. But the most important thing is that FindIT Similar is not only significantly quicker than our previous system, but it also delivers proportionally more relevant, and hence improved, results on the basis of semantic analysis."
