Google has improved the features and performance in its
search appliances aimed at smaller companies.
Starting at £1,050, the new Google Mini introduces the Secure
Search technology, which integrates with existing security systems,
ensuring that employees can access only information they are
authorised to view.
There is also the Google OneBox for Enterprise feature, which
allows businesses to provide secure access to any information –
such as contact and calendar info, HR benefits, sales leads, or
purchase order status – through the convenience of a Google search
box.
With Google OneBox for Enterprise, employees can search across a
greater variety of corporate information stored in business systems
from the likes of Business Objects, Cognos, Cisco, Employease,
Microsoft Exchange, Netsuite, Oracle, Salesforce.com, and SAP.
Site administrators can now also link the Google Mini search
results page with Google Analytics, to provide more detailed
information about how people use search on their site, in order to
improve the overall site experience.
The Google Mini is offered in versions that search from 50,000 up
to 300,000 documents.
Dave Girouard, vice president and general manager for Google
Enterprise, said, "As search becomes more critical to businesses of
all sizes, we continue to add more sophisticated search features
that, until now, had only been available to large businesses."
