They say time is money. They’re right

In today’s business environment, time and information are our two most precious resources. Yet most businesses squander both on a daily basis.

• According to research firms IDC and Delphi Group, the average knowledge worker spends about a quarter of his or her day looking for information.
  
• Add to that the time spent by IT personnel and specialists to manage company information and the technology you buy to store, organize and locate it.
  
• Figure in the time spent (or not spent) by employees to create documents that will match the exacting criteria of high-overhead information retrieval systems.
  
• Consider the wasted value embedded in documents that have been forgotten, mislabeled or otherwise put where no one can find them – at least, not quickly enough to be relevant to the task at hand.
  
• Think of the data that stays locked in employees’ heads – or their desktops – because it’s “too much work” to publish where colleagues can find it and put it to use.
  
• Finally, tally the lost revenue resulting from delays in time-to-market.

The impact of not finding information, or finding it too late, can cascade through a company: frustration, duplicated efforts, faulty decisions, lost productivity, missed opportunities. The costs can be even higher in fields like health care, legal services and technology, where up-to-date data and time-to-market are competitive essentials.

Work smarter and faster with Google

The Google Search Appliance and the Google Mini enable workers to find and share information quickly and easily, making fullest use of the knowledge your company has already created – often finding documents you didn’t even know you had.

Google’s high adoption rates also boosts ROI. Because workers trust and know how to use Google search from their experience on Google.com, you’ll save training money while watching your website or intranet search use soar (it often doubles within weeks of deploying a Google Search Appliance).

This means a more nimble team, tighter turnarounds, a shorter time-to-market, and ultimately, a better bottom line.
