Among the new features in the new EasyAsk Enterprise platform is an enterprise-search broker technology. With this feature, EasyAsk enables users to search and retrieve answers transparently from multiple sources, without the barrier of having to understand where information resides.

Several key features in the EasyAsk Enterprise 9 platform include: "Direct to answer" highlighting--This feature allows employees and customers to zero in on the specific answer, which is highlighted in the resulting response(s); Results summarization--In instances where a single answer is not an option or a specific response is not available, this feature provides a summary of a document, revealing clues about the content of the results so that users can identify the most relevant documents faster; and Administration dashboard--New features were added in the latest version of EasyAsk Enterprise to support the requirements of dynamic organizations.
