Our Vision

We believe that information should be easily retrieved especially given the amount and variety of data that exist today. We started Omnisearch with a bold vision in mind: to do for companies’ content what Google did for the open web. We wanted to make it seamless for users to search through all data regardless of file type: audio and video, documents, presentations, images, you name it!
