"The search features are very powerful. We're finding people requesting more information and content that even we didn't know we had on the site. SharePoint Server gives us the ability to find that content fast. It helps the user make an informed decision much more quickly. As a result, the number of people requesting information packs has increased by 20-30%."

"We call our intranet the 'Guru.' It's a teacher, a guide, a trusted counsellor and a mentor. Anything we have created in the last four years is available in an instant. I can type 'share scheme' and it'll show me all the reports and letters my colleagues have written. It could save me hours compared to writing something from scratch. It's like a web search for everything my company knows."

"We recognised that our biggest challenge was getting relevant documents to the right people. We're a distributed organisation so the idea we could do this without having to circulate documents with email really appealed and SharePoint Server jumped out as the solution. Our less-technical users have started using search a lot more and it's given us huge benefits, including a jump in intranet traffic."

In our business we have a lot of physical documents relating to voyages, contracts and so on. The whole idea is that by accessing them from SharePoint Server with a taxonomy of tags, our people can find them easily and pull up all the information related to a particular deal, including all the original documents. It's a one-stop-shop for information."

CIO, Trafigura.

"The easyJet vision for our intranet is of an information and collaboration platform that simplifies business. Having implemented Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server we are changing the experience for every employee - we have found the little things make a huge difference to our employees; being able to book rooms, find people, exchange documents online is a huge benefit. Integrating information on our crew portal through MOSS 2007, will eventually lead to faster turnarounds of our planes resulting in direct bottom line results."

"The new search feature is very user friendly. We've configured it to do keyword highlighting like you get on the Internet. For some searches, we've also put in 'best bets'. For example, when a new project comes out we can put it in a best bet to make it easier to find. The staff love it."

IT Solutions Manager,

"Search is essential. This morning, I was looking for authority to release a press release from a client and I couldn't find the email. But I punched it into my computer and it found all the files and emails I needed. I'm very enthusiastic about the new technology and, personally, I'd be very unhappy to go back."

Tony Martin,
Managing Director,
Portfolio Communications.

"IT is the driver of our business. Our migration to SharePoint Server has been a tremendous step forward."

David Anslow,

"We had 25-30 different data feeds. When you view information through a map-based interface on Virtual Earth, you get a much richer context. ... The search capabilities allow people to do a search across all these different file servers looking for specific keywords. It will be a game-changer for how we run our business"

Steve Fortune,
Information Management Director,
Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, BP

"It ( Search) helps consultants focus on what the client wants and it helps them see if anyone around the group is doing something similar. It also helps marketing find case studies and testimonials. This is the first time people have been able to get a global view like this."

Richard Ketley,
UK IT Director, Hay Group.

"Anyone in the company can use the search tool to find the latest project documentation and keep abreast of what's going on in the organisation."

Paul Davies,
Group IT Director for the DX Group.
