In today's complex business landscape, the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize operations is undeniable. Yet, many enterprises struggle to translate that promise into tangible results. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern business—a sprawling web of disconnected applications and siloed data.
Imagine this: your organization boasts hundreds, even thousands of applications. A Salesforce report reveals the average enterprise juggles over 1,000, but only 29% are integrated. This fragmentation leads to a chaotic information landscape, where employees spend an exorbitant amount of time searching for critical data. In fact, the above report indicates salespeople alone spend 71% of their time on non-selling tasks, like administrative duties and manual data entry. These statistics aren't just numbers; they represent a fundamental problem—enterprises have become overly complex and siloed, hindering productivity and impacting customer service.
In the modern enterprise, many are experiencing a productivity crisis. Employees are drowning in a sea of data, trapped between information overload, siloed systems, and inconsistent user experiences. This fractured landscape, characterized by generic search results, an inability to act on discovered insights, and fragmented AI tools, not only wastes valuable time but also introduces significant security risks.
The result is a workforce struggling to navigate a complex digital environment, hindering innovation, and impacting overall business efficiency. These issues translate to wasted time, lost productivity and ultimately, a diminished ability to serve customers effectively.
This complexity manifests in several key challenges:
At the heart of this challenge lies the employee's inability to efficiently find and utilize information. Employees grapple with:
This leads to a significant cost. Employee time is spent searching instead of producing. The problem spans across the organization, affecting both broad, enterprise-wide searches (e.g., HR policies) and specific, function-related searches (e.g., marketing campaign data). Moreover, enterprise search results often pale in comparison to the user-friendly experience of a Google search.
