FEBRUARY 2019CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM6The Next Wave of Data and SearchBack in 2011, tech entrepreneur Marc Andreessen declared, that software was eating the world, and technology was quickly taking over industries and transforming them to be more efficient and networked. Four years later, Dries Buytaert--an open-source software programmer notable as founder and lead developer of the Drupal content management system--got a little more specific, saying, "data is eating the world." But even with all the data in the world, one can't do much with it without one crucial component: enterprise search. It may be interpreted as search of digital textual materials owned by an organisation, including search of their external website, company intranet, or any other electronic information such as email, database records and shared documents.Today, enterprises are increasingly relying on search as the primary means of information retrieval, which is mainly driven by two factors. First, as larger volumes and more varieties of information within an enterprise are moving online, it has become impossible for an enterprise to organize and maintain the content in a predefined hierarchical organization. Second, as users are accustomed to retrieving any information they want on the internet through search, they expect the same experience within an intranet.One of the most prominent technology trends in modern enterprise search solutions landscape is integrating tools to offer conversational search or voice-aided search. In fact, experts believe that in the next few years, voice-aided searching capability will become ubiquitous in the enterprise search solutions landscape. Alongside, search capabilities today include a combination of information history, promotions, and recommendations based on similar topics. Thus, one can say that search has become more predictive in nature.At the helm of these modernizations, arriving at the most suitable enterprise search solution requires technology companies to remain updated about the latest trends, tools and techniques in the arena. In such a scenario, to help organization find the best enterprise search solution providers, our editorial board has evaluated the top vendors in this realm.
