Google Inc. today announced Google Desktop Search for Enterprise - a free downloadable application enables firms to provide employees with the ability to search for information on their computers with the same quality experience they've come to expect from Google.com.
Based on Google's popular desktop search application for consumers, Google Desktop Search for Enterprise adds new enterprise-level security, configuration and deployment controls, as well as the ability to search the full text of Lotus Notes messages. Through a collaborative effort between Google and IBM, the new Google Desktop Search for Enterprise provides simple, fast search across Lotus Notes messages.
Dave Girouard, general manager of Google's enterprise business said,
"Finding information quickly in business is more than a convenience - it's a necessity. With the addition of Google Desktop Search for Enterprise, businesses of all sizes can offer their employees one-stop Google search for the desktop, intranet, or web."
Ken Bisconti, vice president of IBM added,
"E-mail has evolved beyond messaging into a tool where people manage their activities and store critical business information. With Google Desktop Search for the Enterprise , we are giving more than 118 million Lotus Notes users greater flexibility in searching for critical business information stored on their desktop."
Google Desktop Search for Enterprise aims to deliver high quality search results, simple deployment and a series of new features designed specifically to meet the needs of corporate environments.
In addition to Lotus Notes, Google Desktop Search for Enterprise is the first desktop search tool to access the full text of a user's web page history and the only one to search AOL instant messages. Google Desktop Search for Enterprise works with most popular email clients, most popular file types and web pages viewed using popular browsers.
