• Seek to implement an enterprise search solution that covers all your information sources – internal and external
• Gaining the benefits of Big Data, social media sources and accessing individual knowledge requires openness
• Organisational information needs to be regarded as a corporate asset
21
Implications for your organisation
© msmd advisors 2012
The requirement to make faster and better decisions on increasingly large and disparate information sources needs enterprise search tools that will 'out-live' the repositories and systems they crawl
•Big data is the challenge that enterprise search has matured for
•Enterprise search must address corporate systems, social media, and exploit the value of individual knowledge
