EY: Reimagining a complex global knowledge platform

EY has completely reimagined its global knowledge sharing platform Discover, which helps employees access assets to support client delivery. Based on a huge amount of user research, Discover is built on a number of Adobe products integrated with the Elasticsearch search engine. This ambitious and highly innovative project features a powerful new search experience which is both hyper-personalised and AI-powered, continuously improving based on user actions.

An integration with PowerPoint allows users to find slides across thousands of presentations to add directly into their own, all from within the PowerPoint application itself. Other features include a new way to track knowledge submitted to Discover, a credentials search, auto-tagging of content and more. Extensive user feedback and testing has shaped the project which has already seen a significant uptick in adoption and user satisfaction.
