IBM wants to make the search for its employees easier so the company decided to use Google desktop search.

IBM’s OmniFind search system will be linked with Google’s free desktop search for business so the workers can locate information throughout company’s databases.

“Getting these two products together makes sense for both of us,” said David Girouard, general manager of Google’s enterprise business unit. “If you want to have a good corporate search product, you have to have desktop search,” he said.

Both companies have great benefits from this deal, Google wins IBM’s trust among corporate technical managers for search product and IBM gives to its employees an already popular tool for searching, making their jobs easier.

According to Jon Prial, IBM’s vice president of content management, IBM’s workers need to search all types of data like e-mails, images, audio or video.

“There is a lot of information that passively sits inside an enterprise,” said Prial. “Our intention is to provide more of an active service that gives a single view of all that information.”
