SAIRA will work together with your existing search function to additionally connect data sources from across all city departments.

Yes. The web search will work for every agency from launch.
Unlike document storage systems, SAIRA requires no tagging or prep work to add files to the searchable index. Simply tell us the location of the files that are available for public consumption and our software will take care of the rest. Our technology can scan documents for keywords so manually tagging is not required by your staff.
SAIRA can search for any type of publicly available information across every data source. This includes Council meeting minutes, agendas, bulletins, financials and permits. SAIRA can also navigate to external links such as department websites or municipal code libraries.
The current version of SAIRA can search through the following information sources:
- Web Pages on your city/county site
- Municipal codes from your site or 3rd party vendor
- Enterprise Content Management Systems – Laser fiche
- In-House File Folders hosted on internal servers
New ECMs, municipal code vendors, and cloud storage providers are constantly being added.
SAIRA does not replace any existing software systems; it makes them more efficient and user friendly. SAIRA scans through all information sources and presents search results in one location, helping you get the most of your existing software.
