Report Excerpt

The Search & Information Access Report looks at... Project Costs

"Enterprise search costs have "sticker shock" when changes require an entry-level search system to be upgraded to a more robust installation. The simple graph below illustrates the typical cost curve when projects jump in scale and complexity. The values used are those experience shows are median costs; that is, where baseline costs for each "size" search implementation begins. Stated another way, the lowest costs for an enterprise search typically begin at these cost points:

Small -- Start at $10,000 and tend toward higher costs;

Medium -- Start at $100,000 and tend toward higher costs;

Large -- Start at $1 million and tend toward higher costs.
