The Information Systems Department within the Corporate & Investment Banking arm of the Societe Generale group was on the lookout for a high-performance solution to optimise knowledge sharing and simplify information searching for all employees worldwide. The intranet sites were developed in response to specific requirements identified by theme and business unit. To date, no software had linked together the highly rich content. From a dedicated intranet for the Information Systems Department of Societe Generale Corporate & Investment Banking to the intranet for the environment or human resources, information was partitioned. Societe Generale group deployed Google Search Appliance system with the option of personalising the search engine helped to create an interface seamlessly integrated in the Societe Generale environment, due to its mirroring the visual identity of the group's intranets.
