Sherlock allows you to organize your data, because it combines information from all digital sources in your company. That means you can always find exactly what you are looking for. Sherlock works independently of programs or servers and runs on all common end devices.
With Sherlock, you can access all the data you need from all of your servers, clouds and other databases in real-time. It lets you improve day-to-day operations in your specialist departments and provide your employees with tools enabling them to avoid wasting time searching for answers locally and instead find solutions in a matter of seconds – without media disruptions.
Sherlock helps to reduce the accumulation of data silos in your company. It provides a view of all data generated in the company (naturally only released data), helping to create clarity across all departments and divisions, in real-time and regardless of where you are. That means you no longer have to count on unreliable interfaces, and misunderstandings are reduced to a minimum.
The increasing lack of specialists and the loss of corporate knowledge in connection with this is a longstanding problem that is hard to resolve. Sherlock helps you to document knowledge reliably in your company and make it accessible to anyone at any time.
