Enterprise search and business intelligence: What's in store
What can you tell me about enterprise seach and business intelligence? Is
business intelligence search some passing trend or is it something we should take seriously?
I believe that, with some exception, business intelligence vendors are having a bit of trouble
rolling out their products beyond the first n users (with n being somewhere between 100 and 1,000,
depending on company size) and as a consequence are getting creative. 'Enterprise search' may
become a new
buzzword for data access and utilization. However, enterprise search will not
be successful in the many organizations that will continue to refuse to change the culture to be
information-centric, train users and ensure a build that is compatible with business interests. I
think it will be some time and struggle in these areas before true information consumption makes a
significant leap in the footprint of a Fortune organization. Those who achieve it early will
prosper.
