Searching within the enterprise isn’t just about finding the right information. To be of value to an organisation, searching must result in the ability to do something meaningful and profitable with the information which is found.
Enterprise search isn’t simply about investigating content; it’s about being able to apply and leverage the knowledge gathered and use it to benefit the business you’re driving. It’s about real people needing the right tools to help them get their jobs done more quickly and efficiently.
An explosion of information
The foundation of a business today is information - the amount of information which we consume, as well as the data which is generated, is growing rapidly. This rate has been quantified at about 40% per annum. The information explosion in the workplace has imposed new performance pressures on employees, who now work with an overwhelming amount of data and struggle to make sense of what they find. A result of this deluge of data, is that information workers spend progressively more time searching, analysing, and sharing information.
The International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates that information workers spend on average 48% of their time searching for and then analysing information, (approximately 9 hours and 10 hours per week respectively).
