Microsoft Enterprise Search

Are you looking to leverage the powerful enterprise search solutions available from Microsoft?

Enterprise search can help you bring together multiple data sources, tune search relevance to customer needs, increase “findability” to eliminate duplicated effort and wasted time, provide actionable search results, and automatically extract meta data from existing documents.

There are a variety of options available to you, including:

• SharePoint Server 2010 Search
• FAST Search for SharePoint 2010
• FAST Search Server 2010

RDA can help you understand all of your choices so that you are equipped to make the best possible decision for your organization.

RDA's Microsoft Enterprise Search offering can be delivered as a 5 or 10-day engagement. During the 5-day engagement, RDA will:

• Present SharePoint 2010 Search features and options
• Determine and document your organization's implementation vision
• Collect high-level requirements
• Determine the appropriate Search implementation
• Document the engagement, outline recommended topologies, and recommend next steps

The 10-day engagement adds the following:

• Determine the proper portion of the requirements to implement as part of a Search Proof of Concept (POC). Typically, this will involve picking a specific area to index and search.
• Develop and present the POC

Deliverables:

• Implementation Roadmap
  • Path to implement Search
  • Risks and mitigation strategies
