Search Solutions

A modern business dilemma

With ever increasing amounts of information readily available online, the web presents a low-cost opportunity for an enterprising business to obtain the information that it needs to get ahead. The ability to manage this data effectively can often lend organisations the cutting edge in an ever more competitive marketplace. At the same time, company databases are swelling with more and more records as these systems' capacity and processing ability continue to increase. Whilst this can enable a business to operate more effectively, it often leads to a situation whereby even essential data is difficult to locate.

These two modern business problems share a common theme - 'information overload'. This basically means that the more information there is available to an individual, the more difficult - and frustrating - it is for that individual to locate what he or she needs. It is estimated that many employees spend over 25 percent of their working hours searching for the information they need to perform their roles. The Oxlea response is designed to dramatically reduce the time spent dealing with ineffective search engines and wading through irrelevant data. We aim to deliver the information you need at the click of a mouse.

Oxlea: The customised solution

Oxlea offer intelligent search solutions customised to the specifications of its clients. Building on the latest and most effective search engine technologies - ConceptSearching and RetrievalWare - Oxlea can deliver a complete search package linked to any data or knowledge base. A user friendly interface makes this advanced system easily accessible to all, ensuring that the search solution represents a vital tool for the employees who need it most.

Oxlea understand that every business is different - and that an off-the-shelf solution simply can not provide the type of interface and retrieval ability required by organisations who need to manage their information efficiently. The Oxlea solution involves detailed consultation with the client, which ensures that the system is customised to suit their business - features such as categorised indexing, e-mail alerts and a scalable database back-end can all be incorporated into an effective search solution.

Accessible and advanced

Developers often forget that a search engine - however advanced - is only ever a successful tool if it can be understood and used to its potential. This is why Oxlea insist on detailed consultation with clients, and seek to ensure that our powerful search system can be operated by those who need it most. A good example of this is our web browser toolbar, which sits just below the address bar in Internet Explorer and allows the user to instantly search the company system whilst browsing. The toolbar can remember previous searches, allowing company employees to keep track of their frequently used resources. This feature has proven to be popular with our clients for its functionality and ease of use.

Running parallel to this insistence on user friendliness is a determination to provide clients with innovative and advanced technology. Oxlea believe that its internet content monitoring service satisfies both of these criteria. Content monitoring means that changes are reported as and when they happen - without the need for employees to carry out the tedious labour of manually searching websites for change.
