Upgrade program for existing collaboration/content management system customers
The vendor of your collaboration/content management system has been telling you over and over that you had in your hands the best enterprise search product, and that an enterprise search "feature" was all that was needed. The recent changes in the marketplace show that's not true. There's really more to enterprise search than just a search feature in your content management system, and you really need a fully dedicated system, not a feature, if you are to have good enterprise search.
You might be wondering what the impact of the recent marketplace developments mean for you. Here are some questions you should consider:
- Is your vendor's enterprise search strategy clear and sound? Is your vendor committed to a single enterprise search platform? Or do they seem not being able to figure how all the pieces fit together?
- One more piece to the -already- complex puzzle? – If you have a collaboration or content management system in your organization, will you now need one more piece to have true enterprise search?
- How long? How long will it take for your vendor to come knocking at your door and try to up sell you to the next "big thing"?
We encourage you to evaluate these risks. We want to make sure your organization doesn't skip a beat when it comes to enterprise search, and at the same time, we also want to make sure your organization has the best enterprise search solution. We invite you to come over to the Google world, and benefit from the award-winning Google Search Appliance.
