What are Federated Activities?

A federated search allows users to look for information across an enterprise of isolated and heterogeneous repositories. A unified interface aggregates the results for users. This capability greatly reduces the time and costs related to data lookup, legal discovery, knowledge management, regulatory compliance, business optimization and other enterprise requirements.

The Challenge

Google, Yahoo and other web search engines crawl and index billions of web pages, so a single search engine can find any content. Organizations are littered with isolated and proprietary content repositories that are difficult to access and nearly impossible to index. Unique taxonomies, security and search semantics force most users to search individual systems one by one and then manually aggregate the data. PathBuilder Federated Search will relieve knowledge workers of these time consuming and expensive activities.

The PathBuilder Solution

PathBuilder’s unique technology offers a cost-effective and reliable approach to meet an organization’s federated searching needs. The combination of unrivalled connectivity and advanced features make PathBuilder Federated Search the ideal solution for current and future needs of the modern enterprise.

PathBuilder Federated Search pricing is independent of the number of files allowing organizations to realize faster ROIs. Enterprise growth and investment are no longer a linear relationship.

The Value of PathBuilder Federated Search

Connectors are available for most popular Enterprise Content Management (ECM) applications.
PathBuilder brokers search requests to each connected repository so it can be executed by the application’s native search engine.
PathBuilder allows users to enter queries with criteria and semantics familiar to them.
PathBuilder permits users to view only the information that they are entitled to see.
With the proper security level, users have the ability to move or copy content and metadata between repositories, archive, lock/hold, declare as a record or destroy.
PathBuilder delegates searches to the native repositories.
Unlike index searching tools, there are no cached content repositories to maintain and secure thus no performance degradations.
