Perficient,
Inc. (NASDAQ: PRFT), a leading information technology consulting
firm serving Global 2000 and other large enterprise customers throughout
North America, today announced Google Enterprise has named Perficient
the Google North America Deployment Partner of the Year 2012 for
enterprise search. The award was presented at the Google Enterprise
Global Partner Summit in Mountain View, Calif., and recognizes
Perficient for its technical understanding of enterprise search and
proven track record of deploying the Google
Search Appliance (GSA) platform for customers.
“At Perficient, our clients look to us to provide strategy, planning and
deployment expertise for the GSA platform,” said Chad Johnson,
Perficient’s Google practice director. “We’re extremely honored to be
named the Deployment Partner of the Year. This award demonstrates that
we can lead our enterprise content management clients successfully
through the enterprise search deployment process from start to finish.
We remain committed to providing leading-edge search solutions for
customers, allowing them to experience cost savings and increased
productivity.”
The GSA provides secure search across all enterprise content, including
both internal and external content. It can search web servers, portals,
intranets, file shares, content management systems, databases and
real-time data in business applications, doing so through the Google
search platform. As a Google
Enterprise Professional Partner for more than five years and the
first partner to achieve the new
Qualified Deployment Specialist certification, Perficient helps
companies realize the full potential of the GSA by enhancing the search
experience, implementing custom connectors to index enterprise content,
and by providing training and hands-on assistance. The company has
developed content connectors for applications such as Salesforce.com,
Atlassian Confluence, IBM Web Content Manager and IBM Quickr, among
others, and it has provided complete search interface solutions for
customers.
During 2012, Perficient implemented numerous GSA implementations for
organizations across all industries, including solutions for
pharmaceutical, e-commerce and software companies.
-
A large pharmaceutical company needed a search tool with the ability
to search multiple repositories, including a clinical trials
management system to find all documents relating to the production of
a specific product. Using GSA, they could honor and preserve the
security of systems in place to comply with their document handling
and regulatory requirements, and easily find all documents related to
the pharmaceutical in production.
-
An e-commerce site implemented Google search to materially enhance
their customers’ ability to accurately search for products and product
information. The client anticipates increased client satisfaction and
higher purchase conversion rates due to the successful implementation.
-
A software company needed a way to search across multiple
repositories. Perficient partnered with the client and Google to
improve the search experience for their employees and customers using
the GSA. Perficient helped migrate the software company from their old
search platform onto the GSA, improving customer satisfaction while
reducing maintenance costs.
“We are excited to provide this recognition to Perficient. The company
has consistently demonstrated sales, deployment and support excellence
to our customers throughout 2012,” said Mark Hodgson, head of global
partner programs at Google.
