Sinequa news

Dear Sinequa Friends, Customers, and Partners,

The year 2011 has started with a change in Sinequa leadership: Jean Ferré has joined our Board of Directors and I have taken over as CEO.

First of all, I wish you all the best for 2011. I also want to give you an overview of our vision and our projects for the coming year.

I will work hard, of course, to evolve our product and services in order to provide you with a search engine and a Business Search platform at the technological state of the art. But my priorities also include the accelerated development of our company. So we plan to strengthen our team in France and expand our presence in Germany.

We are proud of our 20 % of growth in 2010 but we have even stronger ambitions for 2011. Business Search seems finally to have made its name and gained its place in the information systems of enterprise, in particular due to you, the precursors of this growing trend.

We are happy to see the ranks of our customers and partners growing rapidly. We are building alliances with companies offering products and services complementary to ours in order to broaden our range of solutions for you.

We plan to participate in numerous events in the coming months: conferences with several customer testimonials, such as Bouygues Construction, Ministry of Defense in Paris, the Enterprise Search Summit in New York in May together with an important German customer …

The year will be dynamic & innovative!

I thank you for your trust and remain at your disposal for your suggestions on how to improve our offering in order to always suit your needs and ambitions.

I wish you a wonderful year and success in all your projects.

Alexandre Bilger
CEO

MercerMercer, a worldwide leader of HR & Finance consulting, expanded the use of Sinequa Business Search to replace its Google application (GSA) across the Intranet portal of the entire group.

Within a few weeks, Sinequa demonstrated its ability to index more than 5 million additional documents stored in many data silos (SharePoint 2007, OpenText Livelink).

This new project uses the same index server that already manages more than 30 million documents for the essential Mercer application: eWorking.

Beyond the cost savings by sharing search servers, Mercer now benefits from new features, as yet unknown by users of the previous Sinequa version.

Pernod RicardPernod Ricard is a highly decentralized group. This business model has led each branch, each brand, each business unit to gradually develop its own intranet and extranet.

In 2009 there were over 40 sites, with numerous consequences: multiple access methods, inefficient search, redundancy of the information, few collaboration features.

In 2010, Pernod Ricard decided to create a content aggregation page in order to allow employees to easily access the contents of the different sites, and also a collaborative work space for the entire group.

The integration of Sinequa Business Search offers search across multiple, structured or unstructured data sources regardless of their original platform. Ultimately, Pernod Ricard plans to integrate Sinequa into its business applications.

SFR Since 2009, Sinequa provides the Business Search function for the SFR Intranet Portal "MySFR", with over 8 million indexed documents from many sources within and outside SharePoint 2007 (shared disks, other intranets, email, etc.).

Since this first implementation, new innovative uses of Business Search have been launched by SFR, completely autonomously, such as the indexing of 300,000 SAP orders (simplifying access to the corresponding information for users).

SFR optimizes the detection of possible fraud by indexing over a hundred million lines of the database pertaining to the activity of advisers. Finally, the entire base of about 30 million customers is being indexed.
