Enterprise Search

To Google or not to Google?
May 24, 2006

Google quietly entered the Enterprise Search market in early 2002. Analyst firms dismissed it as a tool for sophisticated environments, assigning it to the realms of inexpensive, simple, DIY search. The product line has grown since then, and has gone on the offensive in terms of marketing. New capabilities, notably the ability to integrate with Google Desktop Search for Enterprise, are renewing calls to "just get Google." Is it right for your organization?

Cross Mapping Taxonomies
March 03, 2010

Learn how to bring together multiple existing taxonomies for unified use. Most organizations today have multiple repositories in place; a single system environment is increasingly rare. As a result, more taxonomies are being created, but these vocabularies need to be combined or merged, whether to create a unified enterprise taxonomy from those of separate departments, to bring together taxonomies resulting from acquisitions of companies or product lines, or to reconcile folksonomies with taxonomies. This session looks at three key ways that taxonomies may be combined for different purposes: integrating, merging, or mapping.

Conducting a Search Audit

Taxonomy for Personalization
January 06, 2010

Taxonomy plays a critical role in user experience, but how can it manage content when access and information needs differ across a vast user base? How do you effectively offer information and resources in a meaningful way, through one portal, and to all users? This session will address how to optimize user satisfaction by leveraging taxonomy to catalog users in the same way we use taxonomies to classify knowledge assets. We will discuss how to determine and prioritize differing content needs, push dynamic content based on user profiles, and present a customized information architecture that makes it intuitive for users to target the information that best serves their unique purpose.
