Information retrieval: a costly problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s crunch some numbers. The average employee wastes 3.6 hours per day<\/a> searching for information. That\u2019s 18 hours per week, or around 900 hours per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At an enterprise company with hundreds or thousands of employees, that number reaches staggering levels. For example, a 500-person company wastes over 450,000 hours annually, and a 2,000-person company loses around 1.8 million productive hours. Every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lost time affects more than just productivity \u2013 it also impacts employee morale. 42% of workers<\/a> surveyed said their confidence was undermined when they couldn\u2019t find the right resources. Lower confidence yields lower engagement \u2013 and the cost of disengaged employees<\/a> is higher than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enterprise search: a powerful solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How can you take back these productive hours and prevent revenue loss? Invest in AI-driven search engine software. This software, also called enterprise search, solves knowledge discovery for your whole organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article serves as an overview of our three-part guide on enterprise search<\/a>. Its purpose is to inform you and lead you to an enterprise search tool that works for your company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Part 1: Enterprise search 101<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Enterprise search is an internal, AI-driven search engine. It connects to all company data sources and surfaces results based on user queries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here\u2019s a rough sketch of how it works: the search engine creates a data index based on connected company information \u2013 think intranets, drives, and data repositories. Vector search then combs that index for contextually relevant results. This works faster than federated search, which runs independent searches on various data sources and combines the results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Part 2: Benefits of AI-powered search <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances internal search capabilities in numerous ways. For instance, AI enables relevant, conversational search. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unlike keyword-based searches, which only find resources that clearly contain the keyword, AI search engines return results based on semantic relevance. With AI capabilities powered by natural language processing and vector search, enterprise search can analyze query intent and retrieve relevant insights compiled from multiple data sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is especially useful for people who don\u2019t know where to start looking. So if a person searches \u201chow can I sell our product to an engineering leader?\u201d, they\u2019ll get fine-tuned results for marketing one-pagers, case studies for that persona, email sequence templates, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
