Clarabridge has developed the first active search capability to enable users to quickly find reports and other key information--from both structured and unstructured sources--generated by all major business intelligence solutions from a single, unified search box.

The company explains Clarabridge BI Search indexes the full data content of reports--not just titles, descriptions or metadata--and includes all relational data sources supported by MicroStrategy, Business Objects and Cognos.

Clarabridge says benefits of its BI Search software include:

Increased value to the user. The software has been designed to reveal information stored in BI tools to a broader set of users through an intuitive search interface that successfully integrates with all major BI tools and includes an effective relevance and clustering engine.

Increased value to IT. Clarabridge BI Search can be deployed easily, supports existing user security protocols and integrates into a broader enterprise search architecture. Further, the product's user self-service capabilities can significantly reduce demands on IT for user training.
