Syl can be deployed in three modes:
Inventory Audit – typically used for a few months to create an audit of the digital assets (files and data records) in an organisation. This is useful for administrative analysis and reporting of asset types and volume growth over time.
Discovery Audit – also typically used for a few months, but creates a more comprehensive audit of assets. This includes parsing detailed metadata of each asset including date last accessed/modified, word counts, versions, etc., and optionally crawling within assets for additional embedded content. You can build reports and queries on any number of attributes to better understand the information assets you hold and trends over time.
Enterprise Search – This incorporates features of the above, but also includes the Syl Search enterprise search engine for end users, with built-in connectors to existing data repositories within your organisation, and Syl can incorporate the security model and policies already existing in your organisation. Syl Search has additional features such as dashboards, real time messaging and notifications, smarts around string validation such as tax number validation and provides a framework for developing a Te Reo lexicon. In addition to being able to index data from Word, Excel, PDF, Outlook, Syl Search can read hundreds of different file types, and index and maintain the security profiles from SharePoint, Oracle ECM, OpenText, SilverStripe, Lotus Notes, Google Docs, M-Files, etc. This means within the enterprise, only the information a user can access in SharePoint can be queried in Syl.
