While Google G Suite is an indispensable productivity and collaboration tool for modern businesses, all too frequently content tends to pile up in the far corners of Google Drive, making content search and discovery difficult. Spending valuable time sifting and searching through tens of thousands of documents to find the right one has become all too common, and most workers spend several hours per week searching for information.

When you perform a search in Elasticsearch, results are ordered so that documents which are relevant to your query are ranked highly. However, results that may be considered relevant for one application may be considered less relevant for another application. Because Elasticsearch is super flexible, it can be fine-tuned to provide the most relevant search results for your specific use case(s).

“If it’s not in Salesforce, it didn’t happen.” You’ve undoubtedly heard it, or perhaps you’ve said it yourself. And why not? Over the past 15 years, Salesforce has redefined the CRM industry, becoming the de facto solution for managing sales, customer service, marketing automation, and analytics functions with its cloud-only approach. As Salesforce’s solutions have expanded so has their user base.

Last year we announced an expanded partnership with Google to bring Elasticsearch Service to even more Google Cloud users. We were also named one of Google Cloud's partners of the year! We've since deepened our partnership, and today we are proud to announce new ways to purchase and discover Elasticsearch Service in the Google Cloud Marketplace. You can now purchase monthly Gold and Platinum subscriptions as well as Standard, Gold, and Platinum annual subscriptions through the marketplace.

The Elastic Cloud console gives you a single place to create and manage your deployments, view billing information, and stay informed about new releases. It provides an easy and intuitive user interface (UI) for common management and administrative tasks. While a management UI is great, many organizations also want an API to automate common tasks and workflows, especially for managing their deployments.

When ingesting data into Elasticsearch, it is often beneficial to enrich documents with additional information that can later be used for searching or viewing the data. Enrichment is the process of merging data from an authoritative source into documents as they are ingested into Elasticsearch. For example, enrichment can be done with the GeoIP Processor which processes documents that contain IP addresses and adds information about the geographical location associated with each IP address.

For many companies, Elastic included, wikis developed with Confluence are a critical source of content, procedures, policies, and plenty of other important info, spanning teams across the entire organization. But sometimes finding a particular nugget of information can be tricky, especially when you’re not exactly sure where that information was located. Was it in the wiki? In a Word doc? In Salesforce? A GitHub issue? Somewhere else?
