Metrics and ROI

August 05, 2009

An enterprise search audit will determine where you need to specifically improve search processes.  Based on actual user behavior and system results, a search audit will provide hard data for a baseline evaluation of search effectiveness.  We’ll discuss types of search audits, approaches for gathering data and ways a search audit can pinpoint the needs for improvement  in system tuning, metadata and content management processes.

How do you explain the value of taxonomy projects in the era of "just get Google"? Taxonomy and metadata standards projects can be abstract and difficult to explain. However, unless you are able to clearly convey the value of this work it will be challenging, if not impossible, to obtain organizational support and resources. This session is a must for anyone struggling with gaining buy-in for their taxonomy and information architecture programs.

How do we measure the value of a taxonomy? Taxonomies are often far removed from actual business processes, and if we measure an "indicator", it's difficult to link the result directly to the taxonomy. With case studies and real world examples, this session will cover a variety of qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate the success and appropriateness of your taxonomy.
