DirectInfo  (Keywords: enterprise search, e-mail search, e-government)

DirectInfo is a server-based enterprise search engine, which allows fast, easy and standardized access to the valuable information stored in any format anywhere in the organization. The solution ensures highest level of security by full text search in documents, e-mails, web sites, portals and databases as well as uncompromised performance even for very large data volumes. DirectInfo supports various search operators (incl. metadata search; search for file name, file type, author, topic, etc.) and allows personalized presentation of the search results. 

With DirectInfo Semantec offers a solution for optimal and secure self-service by the information retrieval processes via a comfortable HTML interface. Companies, which have already implemented DirectInfo, report on significant competitive advantages due to:

¨   Considerable time savings by information retrieval in their organizations. According to the business analysts, the work time spent for information search will be reduced up to 80%. 

¨   Reliable retrieval of all information about a specific topic, product, project, customer or business transaction. Nothing will be missed or neglected.

¨   Personalized, easy and secure access to the relevant information for all team members, partner and customers by strict consideration of their existing access permissions. 

¨   No customizations and reorganization of company storage and authorization systems needed   

¨   Reduced implementation costs: ample training as well as expensive and time-consuming maintenance is not necessary 

Due to its open architecture as well as the built-in and external connectors DirectInfo can be completely integrated in an almost unlimited number of applications and portal solutions and complements them with an advanced search component. Directory services and authorization systems, for instance Active Directory, are automatically considered. 

The application is available for Windows/Unix/Linux and requires short implementation time (a few hours).  

Directinfo is suitable for organizations (incl. non-profit) processing (growing volumes of) electronic data and aiming at optimization of their information retrieval processes. Our solution is industry and company size-neutral.
