The challenge

DATEV offers tax consultants, auditors, lawyers, and companies a range of comprehensive services from the cloud. A high-performance search function is critical to many of these applications. “The flood of financial information means that search and find is increasingly a basic prerequisite but also essential feature when it comes to providing users with the right information in the right format,” explains Alexander Wicklaus, Product Owner Collaboration Platform at DATEV. “In addition, search is increasingly becoming an integral part of automating and managing processes.”

The solution

To meet these requirements, DATEV implemented a search tool based on the Elasticsearch search engine. The linguistics plugin for Elasticsearch from IntraFind
forms an integral part of this basic search service. Using state-of-the-art linguistic text indexing techniques, this solution ensures that the service delivers exhaustive and highly relevant search results. For their search scenarios, DATEV needed excellent support of German linguistics. The AI-based linguistics plugin
was customized to meet DATEV’s requirements and is subject to continuous qualitative enhancements.
