Coveo Cloud Project Guide

Content indexing and search is a mature market. Several solutions, both open source and proprietary, have paved the way to modern search and are now competing for best performance and reliability under all circumstances. Relevance, however, is still a relatively new concept in this market, and knowledge around this notion is therefore quickly and continuously evolving.

The Coveo Relevance Maturity Model​™ (CRMM) can help you visualize your journey towards predictive relevance:

This guide provides advice, leading practices, and links to technical documentation to help you plan, develop, deploy, and maintain a successful search solution that eventually reaches the highest stage of the CRMM. The various tips and tricks you will find in those guidelines are based on the experience of Coveo experts who have worked on several search integrations with the Coveo Cloud platform before.
