Research by IDC has found that a typical organization employing 1,000 digital workers wastes over $5.7 million annually searching for information. AI-powered search technologies enable immediate information and data discovery, with context personalized to the individual worker. This white paper outlines how AI, machine learning and enterprise search contribute to a more efficient, motivated and successful digital workforce. It explains where AI-powered search solutions such as Lucidworks Fusion fit within the architecture of a digital workplace environment. AI-powered search can help organizations navigate the following trends:

• Enterprise data will grow from 5 zettabytes (ZB) in 2018 to over 31ZB in 2023, which has made locating the right information at the right time a top priority for digital workers
