The Problem

Being able to find all and the most relevant information quickly in order to meet business process quality standards and timelines in the most efficient and effective manner.

Companies are implementing enterprise search capability in a similar manner to which it is found on the web as exampled by Google, across all systems and information repositories.

  • The manner in which web search works by aggregating tens of millions of searches and results to determine relevance is not applicable in an internal organisational context
  • Results of an enterprise search are merely lists of documents, the relevance and context of which to the underlying reason for your search is often vague at best
  • Related and potentially crucial information which does not specifically contain the search term in content nor metadata will not be surfaced.

Our Solution

When a search is conducted in Ulysses across multiple data sources both structured and unstructured the result is not merely a list of documents. The result is in fact answers in the form of visually appealing linked and related data points. Those data points will surface people, places, events, locations, transactions, times, and many other attributes which just WOULD NOT be found, let alone related, in any other search. We like to say that Ulysses gives you answers to questions you never thought to ask.

Business users are free to explore data from different perspectives without being tied into merely a results list of tens or hundreds or thousands of documents

Filtering and drill down is a simple one-click process without the need to traverse multiple facet levels

Any new information entering any database or system is automatically harmonised and presented without the need to re-configure any report or dashboard

Related data that does not contain any reference to the search term will be surfaced to the user
