UPGRADE ENDECA THE RIGHT WAY

Don't just change version numbers. Improve the whole process.

We've upgraded customers from an earlier Endeca version (3.x,4.x,5.x) to a newer version. One thing we have noticed is that upgrading isn't solely about migrating pipelines and code. There is a lot of opportunity to rework your data feeds, clean up the automated deployment process, and just be plain efficient.

Benefits of Upgrading

Pipeline Improvements. Our first assessment is looking at your data feeds and how your pipeline is set up. We look to improve upon these problem areas:

• Poorly tuned relevance ranking strategy
• Manual handling of external hierarchies
• Inefficient use of precedence rules
• Redundant use of synonyms
• Incorrect settings for partial matching and autocorrection
• Not utilizing valuable data (e.g. product reviews, business metrics)
• ...many more!

Better User Experience. Once your Endeca engine is optimized, how are your users interacting with the information. We provide recommendations to fix these problem areas:

• Overwhelming and confusing refinements
• Too much / too little data being presented
• Redundant Merchandising Rules
• Lack of category / brand pages
• Not enabling keyword redirects
• Confusing use of breadcrumb trails
• ...many more!

Streamlined automation process. Forget about outdated control scripts. Our expertise with running the Endeca On-Demand solution can save you a ton of headache from deployment issues. Our processes and use of the Endeca Deployment Template can solve these issues:

• Problematic Report Generation
• Complications with new Development Environments
• Load-Balancing Issues
• Manually running the processes
• Inability to modify the automation process
• ...many more!
