More about The Enterprise Search Report 2008

Our customers say

"There are two main features of The Enterprise Search Report that keep me coming back to it as a reference. There are, of course, the reviews of the different tools which are very helpful when I need to quickly learn about a new search engine.

Note that you may need several different IBM modules for a complete solution (especially if you have multiple information management systems internally), but that's really the point: the product is geared to organizations that have already made a big commitment to Big Blue. Is that the case with your firm? If so, IBM wants to keep your search budget too, but as always, remember that you have many good choices, so always test first before buying...
