Integration brings the power and insights of Google Search to Windchill content

Fishbowl Global Headquarters – Minneapolis, MN

Fishbowl Solutions, a PTC and Google partner, has announced the general availability of their PTC Windchill Connector for Google Cloud Search. The PTC Windchill Connector enables comprehensive indexing of Windchill content and metadata by Cloud Search. This includes documents, CAD files, WTParts, promotion requests, and change objects from ProjectLink and PartsLink. The Connector intelligently indexes PDF viewables, native files, and HTML renditions in order provide a highly relevant experience to search users.

Last month, Google announced an update to their Cloud Search product enabling support for third-party connectors and integrations with non-Google data sources both on-premise and in the cloud. As a Google partner, Fishbowl Solutions has been working with pre-release versions of Cloud Search since early this year. Fishbowl has also been collaborating with Google Engineering and several Trusted Tester customers in order to develop integrations with both Windchill and Oracle WebCenter.

“[Cloud Search] is about giving employees access to all the information from across the enterprise, even if it’s traditionally siloed data, whether that’s in a database or a legacy productivity tool and make all of that available in a single index,” Google explained. “We are essentially taking all of Google expertise in search and are applying it to your enterprise content.”

The new version of Cloud Search is currently available to a select number of Trusted Tester customers with general availability expected in the coming months. Cloud Search will be offered both as a G Suite Enterprise feature and as a standalone product called Google Cloud Search Platform. The PTC Windchill Connector for Google Cloud Search is available directly from Fishbowl Solutions.
