Rethink Enterprise Search to Power AI Assistants and Agents
According to Gartner®, "Despite the advent of Al assistants and agents, employees struggle
to find information for their work. Enterprise applications leaders need to rethink enterprise
search as supporting rather than competing with Al assistants and agents."

The Enterprise Information Challenges
The Enterprise Information Challenges
Employees struggle to find scattered information across many systems, hindering effective decision-making. Current AI assistants often fail because company data is poorly managed, full of ROT (Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial) content instead of being accurate and trustworthy

Search's Evolving Role (Metadata & Relevance)
Search's Evolving Role (Metadata & Relevance)
Enterprise search must be repositioned from an endpoint to the core engine that powers AI assistants and agents by reliably retrieving relevant data. Systematically managing and utilizing metadata (tags describing content) is crucial for enabling this effective retrieval.

Ecosystem Collaboration & Synthesis
Ecosystem Collaboration & Synthesis
AI's ability to synthesize information (RAG) underperforms when scaled across the enterprise because it struggles with fragmented, poorly managed data. Finding and retrieving accurate, relevant information first is key to reliable AI synthesis

Content Governance for Trustworthy AI
Content Governance for Trustworthy AI
Actively governing your files and data is critical for GenAI success. Implementing policies, managing ownership, using metadata effectively, and cleaning up ROT ensures your information becomes Accurate, Pertinent, and Trusted (APT)—the necessary foundation for reliable search and trustworthy AI responses.

A Strategic Approach to Search
A Strategic Approach to Search
Strategically audit and optimize the many existing search "touchpoints." Consolidate underlying services where possible to reduce complexity, improve efficiency, and provide a more cohesive information experience for employees.
