According to data collected from over 500 business users, 29-54% of respondents report choosing alternatives to traditional licensed software for their Findability solutions. AIIM’s new Market IQ on Findability reveals that Findability is much more than simple “search” — it requires a set of techniques and technologies applied within an Information Architecture (framework) to successfully solve findability challenges. The variety of choices for solutions in this space has exploded in response to the ever-growing scale and complexity of the contents of most organization’s digital landfills. The AIIM Market IQ on Findability is available for free download at www.aiim.org/findability.
No deployment method is perfect – each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Buyers should beware of vendors who claim any one approach is the one and only option. One significant factor in determining which type of solution would be most appropriate is the complexity of an organization’s technical infrastructure. A specific concern is the number of repositories (i.e., e-mail servers, file servers, content management systems, portals, etc.) that enterprise information exists within, and whether it is possible to search all of those systems - whether individually or as a whole.
Just also FYI, AIIM conducts a course covering many of these findability/search/access issues. The IOA Certificate Program is designed from global best practices among AIIM's 50,000 members. The program covers concepts and technologies for:
- Enterprise search
- Content inventory and classification
- Categorization and clustering
- Fact and entity extraction
- Taxonomy creation and management
- Information presentation
- Information governance
