Betting on Elasticsearch for Enterprise-wide Search with BA Insight

BA Insight, a partner of Elastic, has successfully integrated Elasticsearch with SharePoint to enhance enterprise search capabilities, particularly benefiting financial services and oil and gas sectors. By utilizing Elasticsearch's real-time indexing, GeoSearch, and complex query support, the company has improved search efficiency and capability beyond SharePoint's native features. This integration is showcased through applications like a Fund Management Portal, which provides personalized dashboards and utilizes Kibana visualizations. The company has developed 55 pre-built connectors for Elasticsearch, allowing diverse content searches across different systems. Looking forward, BA Insight is excited about developments like Elastic's X-Pack and Graph API, aiming to leverage these for improved text analytics and expanding their reach across non-SharePoint environments. The company sees potential in contributing to and learning from the growing Elasticsearch community, while exploring new opportunities for product use beyond traditional platforms.
