Interesting ways that Collaboration and Search Save you Money!

Commonly we find that users and our clients users get a better experience finding information on the Internet than it is on the corporate network.

According to IDC, workers waste 3.8 hours per week looking and not finding information.

That’s over £2,500 per employee per year.

Do you have multiple copies of the same document in file shares, intranet sites and in boxes?

The same IDC report found that users spent 3.7 hours unravelling version control issues and recreating content.

That’s over £2,500 per employee per year.

That doesn't include the cost of storage.

Google Search Appliance allows you to search file shares, SharePoint sites, Exchange Public Folders and Lotus Notes databases. It’s quick and easy to set up, and pays for itself in a short time frame.

Now you can give your employees the same powerful search capabilities internally as they get from Google Internet Search. And reduce the time they waste looking for information.

Windows SharePoint Services or Google Apps (Google Sites) and indeed Wave provide workspaces for teams to coordinate schedules, organize documents, and participate in discussions—within the organisation and over the extranet. Reducing the amount of time they spend managing multiple versions of the same document.

So, whether you want an on premise solution or a hosted solution for collaboration or search there are effective solutions that Dataplex can provide for you. Interested in seeing where Google can take your business and see where you can save money then please contact Charles Barratt
