Enterprise Search & web based reporting

The launch of Microsoft's Search Server 2008 heralds a new era of search capabilities. Having the right information at the right time is key to business performance. The user experience is critical and needs to be simple and easy to use. Search Server delivers just that.

Concentra can help you find that needle in a single or many haystacks. Search Server has the ability to put information from a variety of sources in the hands of your information workers. As a specialist provider of Microsoft solutions we help you plan, implement and support your solution.

An overwhelming amount of information is scattered throughout the average company. In 2005, the information-technology research firm IDC estimated that every employee in a company produces more than 800 megabytes of digital information every year. That equates to roughly 25,000 double-spaced typed pages, says Mark Kuo, lead product manager for Microsoft Search. As a result, you probably have only a general sense of the information you have, much less an idea of how to find it and put it to use.

Forrester believe Microsoft Enterprise Search has a substantial set of capabilities, most notably its connectivity to many intranet- and Internet-based resources, including Microsoft Exchange, IBM's Lotus Notes, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and even EMC's Documentum and IBM's FileNet enterprise content management systems. MSSE trumps Google's search appliances by offering a stronger set of administration, reporting, and connectivity features.
