Fumbling with that rolodex on your desk? Definitely old school.
Today’s employees want to find colleagues’ contact information or information about their colleagues within seconds. They want it at the tip of their fingertips…right away. Where do we usually go to search for something? We Google it. And information is returned to us in milliseconds.
Bring the same fast results to your workplace. Ektron offers your employees multiple ways to find people at your company.
1. Search for Colleagues:

There’s even predictive search built in, so if you start typing in a colleague’s name it will return you with some predictions of what you’re about to search:

- Find colleagues by Display Name, First Name, Last Name, Tags, Email, User Properties, or Category.

You can even Add Filters to your search. Or check off the box My Colleagues Only to search for the colleagues you’ve already friended on the eIntranet.
Search by colleague skill set as well to locate specific expertise.

- Find employees in the Colleague Directory:

You can even Filter by Category such as by looking up a colleague in a certain department (Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Support, etc.)
- View the User Tag Cloud and click on one of the tags to find colleagues tagged with that term/phrase.

Then click on a tag such as “Sales” to see the results:

5. People GeoSearch
