Key Considerations for Enterprise Search Initiatives
Date: 9/13/2006
San Diego, CA – 13 September 2006 Silicon Space, LLC.’s Managing Architect, Norman Katz, is a featured panelist today on the topic “What Color is your Data? Managing & Classifying Stored Information” at the Byte & Switch sponsored StoragePlus 2006, exploring leading technological developments in the context of universal data access.
StoragePlus 2006 is the first industry event to step back and explore storage networking in its largest context – storage plus enterprise content management, security, application management, web services, and more. Through a series of presentations and panel discussions the event examines the major trends in networked storage including how these trends are shaping the key storage paradigm of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM.)
Katz’s presentation focuses on the key considerations when embarking on an Enterprise Search initiative within the context of ILM. Identifying your data sources, mapping their locations, and assessing their quality and the cleanliness of the data, analyzing your search requirements from stakeholders, end users and managers, and presenting the information in an extremely usable, comprehensive portal are all critical to successful implementation and rapid adoption by users.
