"Laser selected Sinequa technology for its performance, but also as part of its commitment to partnering with innovative start-ups. Previously, Sinequa was supported by funds from venture capital X'Ange, of which LaSer is one of the founders," said Philippe Lemoine, president and CEO of LaSer.

LaSer selected the search engine Sinequa Corporate Search for all its employees in order to facilitate their access to information. With different profiles and business skills, LaSer creates and manages a growing volume of content. LaSer needed a solution that enables its employees to browse the information database quickly without missing important information.

The search engine Sinequa Corporate Search lets users quickly find information through a single and secure point of access that automatically respects the existing security rules of each source. Sinequa Corporate Search connects to different LaSer data sources (document databases, intranets and specific web sites of entities of the group) to instantly retrieve relevant information. Users can also create personalized baskets, save queries and create email alerts to receive a notification when a new document is indexed. This use of the search engine as a monitoring tool allows employees to be more responsive and saves valuable time.

Jean Ferré, CEO of Sinequa, commented: "Our objective is to optimize the time spent by each collaborator in finding relevant information. This deployment is part of our willingness to develop our expertise in the service and finance sectors.”
