I don't know why this is, you would think that they would all agree on a standard taxonomy and just use that. We have done a few mergers and getting the taxonomies the same is a nightmare.

I have been commissioned by th Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (who commissioned the report) to prepare a much more detailed study of the market. This will be completed in October 2011. At this stage I do not know when the report will be published, and indeed if it will be published in full. The project manager, Dr Stavri Nikolov for the IPTS will be speaking at the Enterprise Search Europe conference. http://www.enterprisesearcheurope.com/2011/ Martin White The report you are referring to was researched in 2009 even though it was published in 2010.

The report is way behind the times. I pity the manager who followed the European Commission's advice by buying into a commercial software enterprise search solution. Indeed, Charlie!
