No longer a 1024 monitor


• Seek to implement an enterprise search solution that covers all your information sources – internal and external

• Gaining the benefits of Big Data, social media sources and accessing individual knowledge requires openness

•Enterprise search must address corporate systems, social media, and exploit the value of individual knowledge
