description
If your organization is like most, it has silos of content spread out amongst databases, file shares, and one or more document management systems. Without a unified search system to tap into this information, knowledge remains hidden and the assets your employees create cannot be used to support design, manufacturing, or research objectives. By providing employees with the ability to easily find enterprise information you can increase operational efficiencies, enhance knowledge sharing, and ensure compliance. This presentation details how the Google Search Appliance and Fishbowl’s GSA Connector for Windchill can improve the search experience in your organization. The Google Search Appliance is an on premise search solution developed by Google to provide a single search experience across all your enterprise data. Whether you’re searching an intranet, public-facing website, ECM, or PLM system, the GSA provides the fast, relevant search results users expect. The GSA builds on the accuracy of google.com and adds business-specific features like synonyms, document previews, and security support. Fishbowl’s GSA Connector for Windchill enables the GSA to index content stored in PTC’s Windchill PLM system and provides the security mechanisms necessary to enforce the Windchill security model. Users are provided with a single interface to search across CAD documents, WTParts, Promotion Requests and Change Objects – while adhering to the user and group-specific security parameters your organization has in place. Discover how using the GSA in your organization can provide users with fast access to highly relevant content that drives business processes and helps maximize your Windchill investment.
