description

Presentation made at Search Solutions 2011, 16th of november in London. At Region Västra Götaland the goal to give the right person, the right information at the right time, place and context on the intranet, led to a holistic view of information flow including the life cycle of information. Even though the search platform plays a very important part of the information flow, it exists in an ecosystem of systems supporting the intranet. Kristian will talk about how that ecosystem works in practice and show some examples.
