Enterprise Search: The fast search engine your company needs

Find your content quickly – instead of just searching endlessly

Finding the needle in the digital haystack


Did you spend an eternity today – again – searching for files or information in different locations at your company? Were you forced to regenerate a file because the old one was nowhere to be found in the storage jungle? Or maybe you didn’t have info to hand quickly enough in a customer meeting, potentially costing you the deal? Konica Minolta manages to combine the convenience and simplicity of consumer search engines with all the power, control and security of an enterprise solution.

Today’s businesses are awash with data – with a potentially limitless supply of information and insight always seemingly within reach. Yet as the volume of data grows, the challenge of locating what you need when you need it – particularly across multiple applications and discrete data silos – is only increasing. Those unexciting searches for specific documents can rapidly become a time-consuming, expensive business, and have a negative impact on companies’ competitiveness.

“In our private lives smart devices allow us to quickly search for any type of information. When we come back to the office, this type of intuitive search is often not available and finding information proves challenging.”

 

With Konica Minolta’s smart Enterprise Search solution, endless searches are a thing of the past. It empowers you to find relevant information within seconds without switching applications or needing to conduct arduous searches across multiple systems. The system – essentially, your organisation’s internal search engine – localises, indexes and extracts every single file in use at your company.  

 

No matter where the information you’re searching is located – in e-mail attachments, scanned documents, on SharePoint websites, on your company intranet, in the cloud or across a number of different departments – this think-outside-the-box solution finds, then retrieves, every possible kind of data, in any format, from any index. 
 

And the latest version of dokoniFIND combines the established enterprise search features while also offering tools for reviewing retrieved documents and working on them by adding notes and annotations, bundling documents using the tagging feature, building chronologies, and exporting work products to Excel or Word. In this way, dokoniFIND moves beyond a simple search tool and becomes an Insight Engine that empowers organisations with knowledge discovery across both structured and unstructured data sources.
 

Enterprise Search is perfectly suited to a wide range of industries, relevant to any company and sufficiently flexible for any team to use. The system supports your existing quality management structures and work processes – without forcing you to make excessive changes – saving you time when you’re searching and finding key documents.

Success story

Digitalisation for rapid growth with automated workflows

Digitalisation for rapid growth with automated workflows

Konica Minolta has been supporting Molls GmbH, a thriving independent metering services provider, with appropriate hardware and software since the company was founded. Without digitalised workflows, the company's existing number of employees would not have sufficed to allow Molls to supply several thousand buildings and apartments with metering technology and services for heating and operating costs within just a few years. What began with a simple bizhub C3350 A4 multifunction printer (MFP) has now become an IT landscape featuring a professional bizhub Pro 754e MFP, servers, PCs and an IP-based telephone system as well as UPSs, scan routing solutions and a document management system. Konica Minolta continues to support the company's ongoing operations via Smart Managed Services and is facilitating the automation of additional business processes.



Six months after Molls opened for business and purchased its first Konica Minolta multifunction printer, it became clear that the company's initial estimate of its print volume was too low. Founded in 2016, the company sells smoke detectors as well as metering and measuring devices for monitoring water and energy consumption in buildings and homes. What's more, it also offers all related services and prepares heating and operating cost invoices.


The limits of an analogue system were quickly reached

Due to the company's rapid growth, the print volume had increased so much after just a few months that simply switching to a different multifunction printer significantly reduced the company's printing costs. At the same time, consultations revealed that there was great potential to simplify workflows and transfer them to a digital format. While Molls initially focused on streamlining customer acquisitions and the associated quotation process, order acceptance, recording customer data and invoicing soon also needed to be addressed. "At first we worked with paper files, but the files contained so many documents that it was all very difficult to track. They were kept in just one place, meaning that our ability to access and search the files was also very limited", reports André Molls, managing director of Molls. "We quickly realised that, with many documents arriving in two formats—digital and paper—we couldn't continue to work in this way and everything needed to be digitised."

Just to create a quote, property data, such as the existing and required systems and devices, in addition to their individual types and locations, all have to be recorded for each unit. On top of that, Moll needs to record data on the number and size of the rooms, on previous heating and water bills as well as on the residents. Meter reading requires the creation of numerous documents, especially when reading each individual meter and even when simply arranging appointments. These documents must also be retained for several years. Then when it comes to the invoice, a whole host of data sets need to be compiled.


Digitalisation starts with automated workflows

For this reason, upon purchasing the second multifunction printer, Molls implemented a scan routing solution that converts paper documents into searchable PDFs. Additional software, which includes AutoStore, eCopy PDF Pro Office, dokoniFind and a document management system, allows PDF documents to be processed and their contents to be quickly searched. One of the features of the installed solution is that it ensures that the invoicing software generates a barcode for paper-based documents such as orders or contracts. This barcode then enables the scanned documents to be stored automatically and in a structured manner.

"This means that we are able to search the full text of everything that comes in as a document. We have a much better system than before and can access information much faster by using search terms. All employees can access the data no matter where they are and they can work with it directly", explains André Molls. What's more, the company's ability to provide information has been greatly increased. When a customer calls, employees are able to quickly access the documents they need using the search function.

In order to ensure revision security, Molls asked Konica Minolta to install a document management system. This system allows digital files to be managed and stored in a legally compliant manner. It also removes the need to store paper documents and helped the company to regain space, delaying a move which would have otherwise been necessary due to the company's growth.


Successful digitalisation thanks to first-class support

In retrospect, Molls regards the greatest challenge as being correctly recording workflows and digitally mapping processes, which required a workshop to be held alongside other training. "But all the work was worth it. Our rapid growth would not have gone so smoothly without digitalisation. It allows us to work extremely efficiently and has helped us to avoid an unnecessary increase in staff", Molls is pleased to report.
The managing director explains that the successful digitalisation of processes was primarily due to the first-class support provided by the Konica Minolta team, who installed various solutions that intelligently interact with each other: "Our contact person provides incredibly competent advice, is always available and always has good ideas on ways in which we can move forward. On top of that, Konica Minolta has a number of experts who can be consulted on specific topics at any time."
Being extremely satisfied with his experiences so far, Molls has now also contracted Konica Minolta to act as the company IT service provider, opted for Smart Managed Services to provide IT support, as well as purchased PCs, servers, UPSs and IP-based telephone system from Konica Minolta.

"Especially in the early years of being an entrepreneur, when you have to get to grips with a wide variety of topics, it is extremely useful to have an IT partner as competent as Konica Minolta. Even though we are a small customer, we are not just another number to them; Konica Minolta provides highly knowledgeable, open and honest advice on all IT matters."

In the fast lane with digitalisation - Document processes that meet the highest requirements for professionalism and quality

The company RCM d.o.o. from Slovenia offers services in the field of forwarding, transport and storage.

In doing so, RCM aims to achieve the highest possible level of service quality.



Through a high level of professionalism and effective cooperation with business partners, the company strives to establish a long-term business cooperation based on trust and mutual satisfaction. RCM is the proud winner of the Golden Thread 2013 in the medium-sized category. The company is proud of its credit rating excellence in the 2016 financial year, Certificate Class AAA and is the proud holder of the AEO Authorised Economic Operator certificate. In order to achieve professionalism and quality, RCM naturally needs document processes that meet the very highest requirements. Because an existing e-Archive could no longer guarantee this, RCM opted for Konica Minolta’s M-Files document management and archiving system.

In the past two years, we at RCM have invested heavily in digitalising our business and looking for the best IT solutions for our company. We successfully applied for the public tender e-Business and established our own environment that enables electronic data exchange. We have also introduced the new document management and archiving system M-Files for electronic archiving of documents, thanks to Konica Minolta Slovenia. Konica Minolta also took care of integration with existing systems and applications that support the work of all key departments in the company, e.g. accounting, customs, sales, management, etc. I will long remember the enthusiasm for the transition to e-Commerce.
