Enterprise Search for Vertical Markets

Valuable information sits in functional “silos” throughout your organization broken down into dozens of file types and repository access mechanisms with no efficient way to make it available to everyone who could use it to propel your business forward.

With Kanda’s Enterprise Search solutions, you can leverage the power of these invaluable assets no matter what format they are in – from MS Office to Database to Content Management System, to Specialty files (e.g. CAD/CAM or Accounting) to Intranets, Extranets, and External Feeds.

You are already seeing the power of searching on the Web – but to achieve similar results within your company, Kanda recognizes that Enterprise Search is very different from Web search.

For example, separating relevant answers from irrelevant ones cannot simply rely on “popularity” the way Google does it on the Web. More intelligent search optimizations are required. Furthermore, the information processing, indexing, search, and retrieval requirements are unique for each type of company.

To bring the power of Enterprise Search to its full potential, Kanda has developed Vertical Enterprise Search Solutions. We take the best-of-breed off-the-shelf Search Platform from the leading vendors and create custom “wrapping” that intelligently integrate the types of information tailored to the workings of your particular industry.

For example, for Manufacturing Kanda has developed a solution that integrates CAD/CAM drawings, PLM databases, repair and support manuals, and other manufacturer-specific information into a uniform view of the information across different departments.

A centralized search engine with built-in taxonomy and other analytical support and appropriate access control goes a long way towards quickly getting people correct answers. No database can match text-oriented searching because no ad-hoc SQL report can cover the variety of questions people need answers to.

Kanda has extensive expertise in manufacturing-oriented data-types through our multi-year relationship with the world leading CAD/CAM product development corporation and other related experience. So we packaged an Enterprise Search Platform with our own code and know-how to deliver a cutting-edge, targeted solution for manufacturers.

Every manufacturer has specific repositories and data types (CAD/CAM drawings, PLM (Product Lifecycle Management databases, bills of materials, complex manuals, warranties and services contracts, etc.) that need to be intelligently integrated with Search.

Kanda’s Manufacturing Enterprise Search value-add is that is that we have packaged an Enterprise Search Platform with our own code and know-how to deliver a targeted solution for manufacturers. We were able to do this thanks to extensive expertise in manufacturing-oriented data-types gained through our multi-year relationship with the world leading CAD/CAM product development corporation and other related experience.
