Though SharePoint “Out of the Box” (OOTB) can be effective as a standalone content and collaboration platform, you need a lot more if you are going to provide a new search experience through Cognitive Search. SharePoint includes a powerful search and discovery engine, but for many applications it is incomplete without BA Insight’s products. Our Software Portfolio makes SharePoint search intelligent by connecting machine learning, cognitive computing, and enterprise systems to help you power a new generation of intranets and cognitive search solutions.
We support SharePoint on-prem, SharePoint Online (part of Microsoft’s Office 365 suite), and Hybrid SharePoint.
Integrated with SharePoint and Office 365: search is pervasive throughout SharePoint, including deep integration with metadata and user profiles. If most of your content is in SharePoint and/or Office 365, then this can be a cost effective and powerful approach.
