The Enterprise Search Report 2008 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;

Tracking KMWorld

22-Oct-2007

Autumn is conference season here in the US, and one of the events I am most looking forward to is KMWorld in San Jose, California, from 6-8th November. This year CMS Watch has organized The tuesday ECM conference track and we have some great sessions lined up, including market updates and discussions on building an ECM Strategy, along with some great speakers including our own Jarrod Gingras and our friend Anne Rockley.

Added to this we are running a cool pre-conference workshop called when ECM meets Search on Monday. KMWorld is a special conference for me, as I have been attending since 1999 at the height of the dot-com boom in Silicon Valley, and the event never fails to attract many of the worlds finest thinkers and practitioners. I'm looking forward to the interactions and discussions that always occur and hope to see you there too.
