I'm paying much closer attention to the enterprise search space these days. One of my current projects is with a system integrator in Texas that's closely tied to some of the players highlighted in Forrester's Wave??? Report on Enterprise Search. Their take, as a solution provider, is that most companies aren't nearly prepared to implement an enterprise search strategy. They prefer to strip away the enterprise piece and refer to it as simply, "search". They'll tell you to focus focus on specific search applications instead of trying to federate this and federate that. Sounds simple enough,but you'd be surprised how many companies don't heed that advice. As far as report details, it looks like Vivisimo has some momentum, but apparently needs to energize its partner channel, something my client quickly validated. If you're trying to develop your search strategy, it's worth a read. You can also drop me an note and I'll put you in touch with some of the folks in the trenches.Technorati tags: enterprise+search, vivisimo, autonomy, endeca, forrester+research, search, search+applications, coveo, FAST, oracle
