This is interesting from Lynda Moulton re Enterprise Search. I'll be speaking with her at the Gilbane Confence in Boston in November. Details are here - http://www.gilbaneboston.
Here's an excerpt from Lynda's post...
Why isn't "search" the logical end-point in any content and information management activity. If we don't care about being able to find valued and valuable information, why bother with any of the myriad technologies employed to capture, organize, categorize, store, and analyze content. What on earth is the point of having our knowledge workers document the results of their business, science, engineering and marketing endeavors, if we never aspire to having it retrieved, leveraged or re-purposed by others?
However, in Information Week, an article in the September 5, 2011 issue entitled "HP Transformation: Autonomy is a Modest Start" gave me a jolt with this comment: Autonomy has very sophisticated search capabilities including federation--the ability to search across many repositories and sources--and video and image search. But with all that said, enterprise search isn't a hot, mission-critical business priority. [NOTE: in the print version the "call-out" box had slightly different phrasing but it jumped off the page, anyway.] This is pretty provocative and disappointing to read in the pages of this particular publication.
