Microsoft Enterprise Search and Office Integration
Sourcing teams generate numerous document sets
during the sourcing lifecycle. Common tasks like
calendaring meetings with multiple service providers and internal
stakeholders becomes more complex as projects grow and
progress. Finding the right document when it is
needed is challenging. Tasks like these are made
easier through the use of the Microsoft toolset underlying the
Workbench and Enterprise platforms. While
leveraging standard Microsoft functionality, users can add new
meeting schedules into existing calendars with one
click. They can take the latest financial
business case to the next meeting with seamless integration into
Excel. Users can stop sorting and printing RFP
responses and corresponding exhibits to find key information and
let Microsoft
Enterprise Search do the work for them.
