In a data-driven world, the inability to find information is a critical business failure. Traditional search tools are blind to the content locked inside files, forcing employees to waste countless hours recreating work that already exists. CTERA Search transforms your entire file system into a responsive, searchable knowledge base, allowing you to move beyond shallow, metadata-only searches to find the exact information you need, right when you need it.
When employees cannot find existing data, they are forced to recreate it. This wastes valuable time, slows down projects, and leads to data sprawl as multiple versions of the same file are created.
Critical intelligence is often locked inside scanned documents, images, and audio/video files, making it completely invisible to traditional search tools that only read filenames and basic metadata.
Enterprise search tools that don’t rigorously enforce permissions can expose sensitive data to unauthorized users, creating significant security and compliance risks, especially during eDiscovery or internal audits.
At the heart of our solution is a powerful engine that indexes the complete text of your files, supporting hundreds of formats from office documents to design files. It reads inside the file, transforming your entire repository into a searchable knowledge base where no information is ever lost or overlooked.
We find the knowledge others can’t see. Our engine uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to read text within scanned documents and images, and audio-to-text transcription to make the spoken content in video and audio files fully searchable. What was once invisible is now instantly discoverable.
Access to information must never compromise security. CTERA Search is built directly into the file system and natively inherits all existing Access Control Lists (ACLs). Users can only find and see results from files they already have permission to access, guaranteeing security is automatically and rigorously enforced.
Let’s discuss how to modernize the way your organization manages, protects, and activates data.
