ayfie Locator allows you to find the information you need, no matter where the data resides.  It discovers content in email attachments, scanned documents, SharePoint sites, or across departmental application silos.  

Locator helps you deal with the volumes of enterprise information so you can work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

  

Locator uses advanced information retrieval technology, allowing you to easily find the content that exists across your enterprise.  You no longer have to know where content is stored, and you don't have to log into each application to find the relevant data you need. 

Locator uses indexing to achieve fast search results.  Similar to an index a book, a software index contains pointers to the information in the source documents. A search engine performs look-ups against the index, which is able to find the results quickly and return them to the user. Information indexing is the process of building and using a software index to aid in fast information retrieval.

Locator simplifies today’s complex computing experience.  It puts your data needs at the center and maps to how you work by showing you exactly where your information is, then giving you single-click access to everything you’re authorized to see.
