Quick and Easy Search in Large Amounts of Data
Project Overview
Industry: Manufacturing
Challenge: Introduction of an enterprise search
Solution: iFinder
The Callenge
As a manufacturer of aircraft engines, MTU Aero Engines is responsible for aviation safety in the civil and military aviation. All documentation on the company‘s projects and products is subject to very high quality standards and the obligation to store these documents up to 50 years and more. Thus, an extensive, continually growing pool of knowledge, documents and information that are stored in different systems, has developed in the course of the company‘s history.
Therefore the wish for a clear and intuitive usable search solution arose that provides uniform access to MTU‘s internal data sources. The handling should be as easy for the user as a search on the internet.
Our Solution
MTU decided to use the Enterprise Search product iFinder in combination with the qualitative expansion modules Linguistics and Similarity Search.
The result is a technically powerful and highly scalable, but at the same time easy-to-use, user-friendly system that allows users to search the full text of documents as well as the database fields (metadata). Central point of entry for starting the search is the MTU intranet.
