Searching Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Systems
Businesses have spent millions developing and deploying content and document management systems and their associated workflows and processes. These systems and information portals hold valuable corporate information; however, lack of quality search tools and intuitive user interfaces make much of this information inaccessible to employees.
To address this need, the Google Search Appliance offers universal search for business, which includes full connectivity to all your content within content management systems.
Content Connector Framework: Connect with All Content Management Systems
The Google Search Appliance has a built-in Content Connector Framework, depicted below. This framework enables out-of-the-box connectivity with the most popular content management systems, to facilitate ease of installation.
