Searching is fine! Findability is even better!
Findability is one of the most important factors in the success of SharePoint initiatives. If users cannot find what they are looking for, they will turn to alternate methods to get results. Therefore, Alexya’s™ Findability feature will give your users the tools they need to quickly find and retrieve their content within SharePoint and start working with it.
Alexya’s™ Findability feature will provide your users with the ability to use a wide range of components to quickly retrieve, manipulate, and work with content.

Save Time and Money
Most companies don’t use metadata searches in SharePoint due to the technical challenges and lengthy processes they involve. Alexya’s™ Findability feature enables you to perform metadata searches as soon as you create a column in SharePoint. We have automated the mapping process to save you precious time. |  |
Easy to Use
Our Findability feature is a Web Part, therefore you can use it anywhere within SharePoint or with any kind of business solution that may require it. Your users will be surprised at how easy it is to configure the Findability feature and start using it. |

Knowledge Management
Within SharePoint, content may come from various sources and exist in many formats, yet records will often appear similar. Findability is all about organizing and structuring content in a way that users can quickly find what they are looking for and start working with it. Our Findability feature will enable you to manage knowledge and present it in a structured way, thus impacting user productivity. |  |
Give Power to Your Users
Your users will have the ability to quickly define search groups, define the metadata content grid for presentations, and decide which columns will be searchable. They will also be able to easily save their searches for private or public use. Users can start using this feature within minutes, with minimal training. |
