Find Specific Files And Their Contained Knowledge – Fast – With ISYS

The challenge for most firms starts with the proposal or tender process but it doesn’t end there. Often, huge volumes of data are spread across different formats and locations, making it hard to retrieve and put into context.

The good news is that ISYS provides a window to existing knowledge, enabling employees to search, find, analyze and use the precise information they need, when they need it – extremely quickly. ISYS filters and surfaces the most relevant information with just a click, which significantly reduces the time staff need to spend searching.

Use the toggles below to see how engineering companies as diverse as civil, mechanical, aerospace, chemical and telecommunications, can realize real financial and productivity gains with ISYS.

FEDERATED SEARCH

Without a powerful search solution, pulling together the pieces that make up a successful tender can severely impact on day to day workload. The most relevant material from past and current projects resides in emails, documents, pdfs, databases and archives. Often none of these systems talk to each other, and sometimes they are spread across different offices and in different countries.

ISYS enables:

  • Sophisticated search across any device, system or file format, instantly
  • Presentation of ordered and accurate results based on a query or topic
  • Linking to project archives, contracts, external research, compliance, recruitment databases and more, via one point of access
  • Presentation of technical documents in high definition, without having to open the original
  • Fast and easy user interface so staff members can start using it immediately

ISYS is also used by engineering clients to search recruitment databases and find the right people for specialized projects, fast. It’s just one of many ways ISYS gives them a competitive advantage.

INTRANET SEARCH

Intranets are a valuable source of IP, with staff creating new data each day. Intranet search functionality makes it possible to leverage corporate knowledge, and then put it to work.

With the implementation of ISYS, CH2M Hill's proposal team now have instant access to material that has already been thoroughly researched for other projects. They don’t have to put requests out and wait for content anymore, and can react more quickly and thoroughly. It means they win more business, more often.

COMPLIANCE

ISYS is been used to monitor company-wide files, emails and procurement systems when a recall on a functional element is announced. It is an insurance policy for the business, giving complete transparency, organization-wide, in seconds.
