BASF Corporation Selects EasyAsk for Employee Access to Critical Business Information
EasyAsk, an information access software provider of Synchronized Search and Navigation(TM), has announced that BASF Corporation, the North American affiliate of BASF AG, has selected EasyAsk's technology to power a corporate portal to effectively enable employees to easily and quickly locate and retrieve business information and reports.BASF chose EasyAsk to help achieve the vision of allowing employees to use natural-language queries to search for the information they need. BASF hopes to reduce the number of duplicate report requests submitted to business and central IT resources, while at the same time increasing employee efficiency by giving them immediate access to critical business intelligence, all from a search and navigation portal.
Built upon an open, standards-based architecture, EasyAsk's technology also integrated easily with BASF's existing IT infrastructure, a critical consideration for the transnational company. Having deployed IBM's WebSphere platform, BASF found EasyAsk's WebSphere pre-integration and its status as an IBM-preferred partner for search and navigation a distinct advantages when it came to implementing EasyAsk's solution.
"The speed with which enterprise information is accelerating is almost mind-boggling," said Bob Alperin, president and CEO of EasyAsk. "It is essential in today's environment to deploy infrastructure technologies that make it possible to synchronize business processes with split-second performance and accuracy that deliver superior customer service and up-to-the- minute visibility into key business operations. EasyAsk does just that for some of the best-known global brands. Our customers have invested heavily in IT infrastructure, and our goal is to help them leverage those investments. To that end, EasyAsk is committed to providing powerful, precise and the only Synchronized Search and Navigation platform that works flawlessly within our customers' existing IT environments."
EasyAsk provides intuitive and precise information access solutions that empower enterprise users to quickly find and retrieve critical business information. EasyAsk's Synchronized Search and Navigation(TM) platform accesses both structured and unstructured data, intelligently interpreting users' queries to efficiently find accurate and complete results.
