High Tech
Leading high tech companies, such as Agile Software Corporation, have turned to the Google Search Appliance to provide instant, secure access to all enterprise information. The Google Search Appliance is an integrated hardware and software product that uses Google's powerful search engine technology to bring universal search to your business.


How you'll benefit
  • Increase productivity - According to research from IDC and Accenture, knowledge workers spend more than 25% of their time searching for information, often unsuccessfully. With Google's universal search, your engineers and other employees can find what they're looking for in less time, so you can increase your productivity and pace of innovation.

  • Manage global collaboration of engineers - Whether they're working from company headquarters or a remote station, your engineers can quickly access product documentation, engineering specifications, launch plans and millions of other documents from all over the world. And our "expert search" feature lets your employees instantly find an expert within the company on any given topic.

  • Connect the value chain - Your employees, suppliers, partners, distributors and customers will all be able to search and find relevant information, with security features to ensure that any given user's results only include information that he or she is authorized to view.

Customer Impact

"The number of searches performed each day has more than doubled. Our employees are inspired to use our intranet search when they hear it's powered by Google. They love Google because it helps them to be more productive."

- Bill Corley, Manager of Intranet Technology, National Semiconductor


Agile - To serve its 11,000 customer customers globally, Agile Software Corporation has more than 700 employees located across the world. Within the various business functions, information is managed differently. For example, the finance, legal and Solution Delivery teams store information in Documentum's eRoom, a document repository, while the engineering team manages all of its information in Agile's own PLM system, ClearQuest and wikis. Customer Support uses Onyx, a web-based CRM system, and Primus to manage knowledge base articles. In total, Agile has over 300,000 documents throughout its various Enterprise Application stores, including wikis, eRooms, blogs, websites, word, and PDF documents. Agile has implemented the Google Search Appliance and now its global workforce can easily access information across various information repositories and be more productive.

Stratus - Stratus Technologies is a global leader in fault tolerant computers. While its 700 employees globally needed to access over 100,000 documents, its previous search engine could only search about 6,000 of those. So Stratus turned to the Google Search Appliance. After implementation, Joe Graves, Stratus' CIO, claimed, "We like the functionality. It was more than we expected and we had some pretty high expectations."
