Recently AIIM completed a very important survey that shared results based on a number of topics around enterprise search and discovery. In the study they discovered a number of things that can help reinforce the important of Enterprise Search in the enterprise and help companies that are working out their search strategies. I’ve compiled a few of these results in an infographic that can be easily digested around some of the key findings. At BA Insight we take Enterprise Search seriously and I spend quite a bit of my time taking customers through Search Strategic planning exercises. This inforgraphic is from a series produced around enterprise search and SharePoint Search.
Here are a few of the key findings:
- 1% say enterprise search is “Not that important”
- 12% of those polled have an Enterprise Search Strategy
- 18% have external repositories connected to their Enterprise Search
- 71% of Customers polled found that Enterprise search is Essential or Vital
- 75% of customers agree it is easier to find information outside the organization than inside
- 44% of customers get ROI in 12 months or less!
