Lawson Software announced the general availability of Lawson Enterprise Search. Lawson Enterprise Search is an intuitive new product to search both structured and unstructured data across the Lawson S3 enterprise system, Lawson Business Intelligence, the user's desktop – and even their personal history such as comments entered in Microsoft Office applications. More than 40 organizations participated in the development process for Lawson Enterprise Search.
Lawson Enterprise Search, part of the Lawson User Productivity Platform of tools, makes it easier for users to find information and then take action based on that information. It searches information in a user's Lawson applications as well as their personal world within their desktop and even their email.
For example, if a company needed to recall a specific product within its inventory, it could use Lawson Enterprise Search to help quickly find and deactivate all items, purchase orders and requisitions associated with the recalled product. Companies no longer need to comb through their enterprise software system line by line to discover and take action on specific changes or make a decision.
Organizations can quickly deploy and implement Lawson Enterprise Search without compromising their current Lawson S3 system's integrity. Tight integration with Lawson security helps ensure that users' searches will return results only from those parts of the system they are allowed to access.
Key Lawson Enterprise Search capabilities include:
• The ability to search keys, comments, descriptions and dates
• Use of wildcards and and / or operators
• Search from any transaction field to find related information
• Save commonly used search queries for fast future searches
• Execute freeform searches
• Perform directed searches via an interest center
• Achieve fast performance by searching indexed data rather than the live transaction database.
“Our goal was to redefine enterprise search the way Internet search has been redefined in recent years,” said Dean Hager, senior vice president of product management for Lawson. “Our customers have told us they need an easy way to search information across their enterprise software system and personal desktop.
They want a search function that lives up to their Internet search experiences. But they don't want to gain this functionality at the expense of compromising security or system performance. Lawson Enterprise Search addresses these concerns and brings the added benefits of employee productivity gains and job satisfaction from no longer having to manually find that one piece of information they need out of their Lawson S3 system.”
