SAP released the Argo tool to expand enterprise search capabilities

SAP has prepared a test for its new enterprise search tool, known as Argo, which will expand the enterprise search function for SAP end users, in this way, you can query different resources through a separate search system.

This new software also enables SAP Enterprise Search to connect to network services. According to sap's Web site developers, this test version also contains connections with generic web search services, such as Google.

Argo provides end users with a centralized entry point to search for company information from various data resources. With a separate search query, end users can access company data from multiple resources, such as desktop computers, browsers, emails, and mobile devices.

Matthew Brown is a senior analyst at the Forrester Research Center Information Transmission team in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He said, "The sap portal is very successful; it also shows that the search performance of SAP data and the use of application software are SAP-centric. I can assure that users are promoting the expansion of SAP search and entering other enterprise content ."

Brown says sap can establish a connector to connect to a variety of data storage libraries without building its own search tools. In recent years, the search performance of business software has gained a lot of attention in the market. Companies are continuously launching various tools to compete in this market, this provides a good search function for end users to search for organized and unorganized company data like searching data on the Internet.

In previous history, all application software vendors have built their search performance on a common basis, that is to provide end users with the ability to search through the relationship between the front and back of the specific application software. However, the success of Google and some other large search engine manufacturers has promoted that large business software manufacturers are no longer limited to various organized and unorganized data within the company, turning to various resources out of the company, Brown said.

Brown said, "the data previously queried by search tools is stored in the content of specific application software. However, data storage has already broken through the restrictions of specific content, access to data resources other than the file system."

SAP can improve the performance of its trex search system through the search engine technology included in NetWeaver, and thus create search indexes for organized and unorganized data.

Microsoft recently released a new search tool to manage users' searches based on company data in multiple locations. The tool's code name is "oneview". Microsoft's search performance combines Windows desktop search, Sharepoint enterprise internal network search, and Internet search.

Oracle also has similar search tool performance. It released a tool software called "Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g" in March this year ". IBM also provides enterprise search performance, known as omnifind, which integrates its recently acquired iPhone rase technology into its WebSphere platform system.

According to information on the SDN Software Download Page, after the sapphire User Conference, the ARGO test version will be released on the SDN website. According to the SDN site, this version will provide a 90-day registration evaluation in Paris and will not allow any commercial use, in addition, certain restrictions will be imposed on stability, support for maintenance, and functional features.
