I recently helped to organize the first New York Enterprise Search User Group meeting of 2012. The topic for the evening, was The Past, Present and Future of Search: A Round Table Discussion.
The Panel included, SharePoint MVP, Natalya Voskresenskaya, Senior SharePoint and Search Architect for Arcovis, Paul Olenick, Carlos Valcarcel, Microsoft Technical Solutions Professional, and BA Insight's CEO Guy Mounier, and Director of Search Consulting, Mike Himelstein along with Gig Werk's own Information Architect, Michael McCabe.
This group of experts have worked with Search for an average of 10 years. Their experience and enthusiasm for Search, created an intriguing discussion. The members, including myself were able to hear what these experts have been doing with search as well as their view of the direction of Search as the technology continues to develop.
The Panel Shared the Following Key Thoughts:
1. Search is Misunderstood.
2. It is more comprehensive to "Solve a Business Need" with Search versus providing a "Search Solution".
3. Taxonomy is for a more defined approach and may not be an ideal solution for most organizations.
4. Consumer Search and Enterprise Search are completely different markets.
5. The ideal direction of Search is to become a hidden solution solving specific business needs.
6. Search is providing jobs for tech experts as well as professionals in a variety of other industries.
7. Social Sites such as Facebook and Consumer Search is a driving force for Enterprise Search.
8. Search experts need to learn the business and business leaders need to learn Search.
Simply put, this meeting was so informative, forward thinking and a fun experience all around. Thank you once again everyone who attended. Special thanks to Leo Souza who was slotted to be on the Panel but due to technical difficulties was not able to join. I would also like to thank Gig Werks who sponsored the event and of course Arcovis the organizer of The New York Enterprise Search User Group.
Search has been and is still a bit misunderstood.
Listen to Carlos' explanation below.
Social Sites, such as Facebook & LinkedIn are also driving Enterprise Search.
The Panel discusses this viewpoint below.
