Interview with Paul Doscher
February 1, 2012
Paul Doscher is the CEO of LucidWorks, formerly Lucid Imagination. Before taking the helm of LucidWorks, Doscher led enterprise search vendor Exalead, from 2008-2011. Fierce Content Management has taken an interest in Doscher’s expertise and has conducted an interview with the leader entitled, “One on one with Paul Doscher, CEO LucidWorks.”
Fierce Content Management’s first question to Doscher asked how large amounts of untraditional data could be handled by the enterprise. He responded:
“Enterprise search has adapted dramatically over the past years. Many people think of search as executed through the use of a simple user interface and predicated on keyword matching. Such search results are static and lack intelligence. These types of search solutions remain relevant and appealing to certain enterprises. And yet, with the rapid explosion of text messaging, emails, video, digital recordings and smartphones, the amount of data that companies need to access and understand has grown monumentally and continues to mount. We see enterprise search extending well beyond the basic functionality to deliver results to business users that are meaningful and actionable.”
Doscher goes on to discuss the power of LucidWorks Search and particularly LucidWorks Big Data to conquer the new challenge of unstructured data. LucidWorks gets its strength not only from Doscher’s experience and leadership, but also from its open source foundation. Open source is in general a more agile, a more cost effective, and a more sustainable base for powerful software solutions.
