AO Foundation Case Study: Unified Information Access with EXALEAD
Case study showing how AO Foundation deployed EXALEAD CloudView to give 12,000+ global surgeons unified, real-time access to surgical references across multiple databases.
AO Foundation needed a single search layer over fragmented clinical content stored in separate systems used by its Trauma, Spine, Vet, and CMF divisions. The organization implemented Dassault Systèmes EXALEAD CloudView on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to index internal databases, the AO Surgery Reference, videos, and third-party repositories. The solution delivers faceted, context-aware results with single sign-on while preserving existing IT assets and access controls.
Unified search across 40,000+ monthly visits from 100+ countries without data migration
Faceted discovery surfaces only relevant surgical techniques, videos, and clinical data
Single interface with SSO replaces separate searches in each clinical division system
Non-intrusive deployment on existing infrastructure with centralized user-profile management
EXALEAD indexes both structured records and unstructured video content for precise retrieval
