Search Explained

In this thought-provoking session, Agnes will highlight why Search is much more than a technology and how it can help with real-world business solutions.

As an "Enterprise Search" expert, I've been faced with a lot of companies' findability challenges. Based on my experience, pure "Enterprise Search" projects are very rare. Companies need to solve business problems. They have business process or information discovery pain points. They need business solutions and applications that help. Do these applications use a search engine to collect and aggregate information? They don't care. The experience of "10 blue links" is old, outdated.

In this thought-provoking session, I'm going to highlight why Search is much more than a technology and how it can help with real-world business solutions. I'm also going to demonstrate what the future of findability and content discovery will look like. Moreover, I'm going to do this without using the expression "Enterprise Search" in my presentation.
