FASTforward’09 Interview: Sandy Kemsley, BPM analyst
by Joshua-Michéle Ross
Sandy discussed how search is increasingly important within the enterprise because of the silos of information that are proliferating: enterprise content may be stored in content management systems, file shares, email attachments and – with the advent of enterprise social software – internal blogs and wikis. Good enterprise search allows someone within the enterprise to locate content without knowing which system that it’s stored in.
