Enterprise Search Adoption Survey: More Shifting Sand
June 27, 2014
I read “Enterprise Search Adoption Remains Low: Survey.” On one hand the notion that most organizations have trouble finding email like the US Internal Revenue Service is a truism. On the other hand, enterprise search is one of the enterprise applications that promises everything and often disappoints a large percentage of users.
The write up asserts:
It asked 300 enterprise IT security professionals at two major security-themed industry events, and found that only 38% of IT departments have invested in or plan to invest in enterprise search capabilities for a range of reasons topped by security concerns. When asked to choose the biggest obstacle to enterprise search adoption, 68% cited the risk of employees locating and accessing files they should not have permission to view.
The article includes a quote from an outfit called Varonis and a plug for a product with which I am unfamiliar, DatAnswers. The full enterprise search study can be found at http://info.varonis.com/enterprise-search-report
Oh, and the sponsor of the study? Varonis and DatAnswers. Enterprise search is nothing if not consistent in its marketing efforts.
