Successful Enterprise Search: The Guidebook
June 2, 2009
The reviews are coming in for the study by Martin White and me about enterpriser search. The publication is “Successful Enterprise Search Management”. The study brings together a method for implementing an enterprise search solution. The publisher is Galatea in the United Kingdom. You can find the reviews, information about the study, and a page of links to the reviews of the study. If you are involved in enterprise search, you may find the monograph useful. We take care to identify ways to gather information so that decisions about search can be based upon facts. We cover the entire process of planning, procuring, implementing, and enhancing a search system. We do mention some vendors, but the monograph is not a rehash of the unwieldy Enterprise Search Report nor is it as technically top heavy as my three analyses of Google’s mind boggling technology.
I had one copy which disappeared in a procurement team meeting. If you want a copy, you like me will have to pony up some cash to get this useful roadmap, guidebook, and search Baedeker. The monograph contains information not generally included in the breezy analyses of vendor-specific reviews and the fly overs of the industry that consulting firms generate for their paying customers.
One of the reviewers said:
“Martin White and Steve Arnold have created the authoritative guide for executives and business managers to understanding enterprise search from top to bottom. This book covers the players in detail, as well as emerging technologies that promise to improve the search experience in corporations in the coming years.”
Martin and I have made an effort to be clear, concise, and pragmatic. I wish I had had this monograph when I did my first project in the mid-1970s. I did not know then what I know now. You may be able to get a leg up on a what is a quite interesting and challenging application with our study.
