How can troove help?
troove was designed and developed to help business end users who rarely get close to an application’s user interface, as well as experienced application users who know firsthand the struggles caused by cumbersome application screens and complicated data models.
This group includes key decision makers who are often the least equipped to access the data they need. From sales people wanting to find orders booked for a specific customer, to analysts wanting to identify open invoices by amount, troove can help find the right data when it’s needed.
Everyone is familiar with web search tools like Google or Yahoo, and using troove is just as easy. Just type in a search term and troove does the work.
Web search engines have vastly improved the way information is located. Faster and more accurate search capabilities have opened up previously hidden data, allowing people everywhere to independently discover and creatively use data online. With the troove search appliance, you can now apply the power and ease-of-use of web search to find internal application data.
Business users are not librarians — they shouldn’t have to understand how data is stored in order to access it. Most business application data is stored in complex relational databases, and a thorough knowledge of the underlying data model is needed in order to quickly find relevant data. Data is often accessed through a rigid hierarchy, meaning there is only one correct path. But users should only have to understand the data they need, and not some complicated relational structure.
The goal of troove is to empower users — to give users the ability to find the data they need, when they need it. Being able to search key data on your own opens up a world of possibilities, from providing better customer service, to improved business analysis. Imagine being able to quickly scan the complete business process for a sales transaction by searching just on the order number — find the order, invoices, payments, returns, etc., all in less than a second. troove puts the power of search into your hands. There’s no need to get IT involved or seek to out an application expert.
If you fall into this category then we’re preaching to the choir. As someone who works with large packaged or custom applications on a regular basis, you’re well aware of the difficulty of finding key data quickly and easily. Wouldn’t your time be better spent working with the data instead of wasting time gathering it?
Faster and easier search — With troove, you get results in a fraction of a second, dramatically changing the way you interact with data. There’s no more worrying about how long a query may run or putting off an extra search because of the time required just to login to the system.
Access previously hard-to-reach data — troove provides more complete access to your data, letting you reach data not available from standard inquiry forms or search tools. troove lets you dig deeply using one consistent web tool.
Discover new relationships — troove gives you the ability to quickly discover new and important relationships among data by allowing you to browse and drill down your data set. Important connections are uncovered.
Use your web browser for routine inquiry — Just logging into your applications can be a chore in itself. troove is the fastest and most direct way to view application data and can serve effectively as a new front end for routine data inquiry.
Easily search across applications — The problem of search is magnified in a multi-application environment. With troove you can easily search across applications from one common interface, allowing you to quickly check relationships and get additional detail.
Experienced enterprise application users can benefit immediately from troove’s powerful search tools.
