Finding the discrete bits of information everyone needs to perform their job on a daily basis can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. That's where Enterprise Search can help, by letting information consumers use the familiar paradigm of search to find what they seek. But Enterprise Search is not exactly the same as traditional Web-based search and there are some very different approaches for dealing with structured and unstructured data.
Tune into this episode of DM Radio to hear several industry experts explain the ins and outs of this relatively new arm of business intelligence. We'll talk to: Forrester Analyst Leslie Owens; Thunderstone CEO John Turnbull; and Dr. Larry Harris, General Manager of Progress EasyAsk. Attendees will learn:
- The difference between desktop search and enterprise search
- A strategic vs. tactical approach to enterprise search
- How search technology can help prevent redundant report creation
- Why the structured and unstructured worlds are so different
- The importance of SQL in dealing with structured data
- How to unite the worlds of structured and unstructured information
- How search technology can help educate information users
