Keywords: enterprise search / Autonomy / Google
Although far less well known such as Google and Yahoo Internet search engine known, enterprise search and intelligent in the degree of correlation is higher than the current search for a large portion of the Internet. With the global enterprise search market size is increasing, and focus on the enterprise search business will be a second Google do?
3 months ago, the first Chinese Internet search market share of Baidu suddenly announced the withdrawal of its enterprise software business Department. Baidu that more than 50 employees, focused on the enterprise search sector, reported the dissolution process took only four hours.
news was announced, Baidu immediately pushed the public opinion by the media air waves, and Baidu and Sohu is a time of war of words ignited.
3 months later, the retrenched staff were absorbed by a company called Autonomy. Reporter, we learn from Autonomy, Autonomy before joining Baidu new employees use of previously accumulated experience and resources, is helping the company quickly open the market in China.
market is showing only the tip of the iceberg
their strange submit a picture, and then the search engine can tell you this picture author, subject and other information; to submit a keyword, the search engine can probably understand your specific search requirements and provide the results you want. these are the enterprise search will give users a good search experience.
Although far less well known such as Google and Yahoo Internet search engine known, but listed companies from the London Autonomy, in November last year to 500 million U.S. dollars to complete another acquisition of enterprise search vendor Verity, its in the enterprise search market The share has soared to 80% (Gartner statistics), far more than the second largest Microsoft, Google, Oracle and IBM and other manufacturers.
in the country, focusing on enterprise search than a decade of TRS and Sky, although known as Baidu loud, but also in the enterprise market in China has accumulated a wealth of experience, and a set of independently developed their own search technology.
like icebergs floating in the sea, the enterprise content on the Internet reveal only the tip of one corner of the . Gartner's research shows that enterprises in the amount of data far exceeds the amount of information on the Internet: companies publish information on the Internet information only 1% to 2%, and 98% of the information is stored within the enterprise.
enterprise search means a huge difference with the Internet search. in the enterprise, text files, email, audio and video files with people closely related to digital information, to hold a dominant position, and its share more than 80%. and these are based on information in the form of unstructured, scattered across the enterprise to every corner of the computer system.
Therefore, how convenient, fast and secure access to the information content within the enterprise, an enterprise search The mission of the engine.
and Internet search engines compared to the core technology of enterprise search products, the challenge of higher. It requires not only the search faster, more accurate results, you can index a large number of documents and different types of media, while also called for the deployment, it can with the company's existing information systems, knowledge base, or BI (business intelligence) systems integration, and greater emphasis on security and privacy.
used the Microsoft Windows desktop search tools, users are aware, the tool can the unstructured information in the user's computer by keyword, time to retrieve them, and enterprise search tool is equivalent to an updated version of Desktop Search. The difference is that enterprise search is the face of the entire enterprise network and database Search for the environment than a calculation of complex fills. If we say that desktop search is a common household fool the camera, then the search is a professional enterprise with a complete professional camera lens and functions.
a few years ago for search users, enterprise search interface and the Internet Google, Yahoo site is no different: just a corporate intranet search text box only. In the above keywords, you will find information related to corporate website .
Today, however, understand if you still stay here falling behind. search technology has been along the intelligent, semantic route has entered a new stage of development. research analyst at Delphi Group's Hadley Reynolds had indicated that : Most libraries, archives and government agencies, focusing on the city's information systems have been introduced enterprise search applications, and finance, telecommunications, automotive, manufacturing and other industries many companies have begun to embed in the OA system, enterprise-class search engine the same time, the competitive environment for enterprise deployment of intelligent analysis of information system. In addition, some large-scale e-commerce sites have begun using enterprise search technology to meet customer demand for increasingly refined.
abroad, enterprise-class search technology is showing a continuing trend of in-depth application. Almost 500 companies have a global enterprise search needs and applications, from BBC Radio to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, all-encompassing enterprise search business.
research firm Ovum Report In studies conducted by the global software market report that demand for enterprise search and Google, Yahoo-style Web search demand is considerable, showing upward growth trend, the global enterprise search technology market will grow 288 2006 % to 1.513 billion U.S. dollars. Experts predict that China will become the latest global growth.
giants have long been tempted
see huge potential market, giants are actively and enthusiastically to join. The VIP player is Google, Microsoft, IBM and Oracle.
Google in 4 years ago began offering enterprise search products, recently the Google Mini (mini-Google) and the Search Appliance was upgraded .8 28 issued specifically for the commercial sector development one including the ability to search e-mail, calendar, chat and other content packages. While before, Google has publicly several other models such as the Google Mini for small business users search software, but Google Enterprise Search, Vice Dave Girouard, president will continue to call it a snatch the profit from Microsoft's site, we do not and others were eating a rice bowl. Wal-Mart a month ago just joined Microsoft, and several appearances in small, Kevin were shown on the determination of the enterprise search market is determined to win.
analysts pointed out, Google relies mainly on its consumer brands The high recognition to the enterprise search market penetration slowly. But we can not say the results are satisfactory at present, but also, and other peripheral products, like Google, is still in trial stage, not stereotypes. and the current enterprise search Google insist on doing the main reasons the development of their enterprise IT technology providers, and maintain the traditional giants such as Microsoft's competitiveness, focus on the future of the whole competition.
increasingly want to send in the enterprise market power Microsoft has provided enterprise-class search product to its new strategy function. The new software solutions using the rich client and server resources, such as Windows Desktop Search and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, through the use of these new solutions, people will be able to timely access to the information they need most, whether in On the desktop, server, or the whole company mm long with a simple, intuitive and familiar user interface, you can accomplish this.
reported that Microsoft has successfully signed 35 partners. while in Vista, Office 2007 and CRM investment in other projects, will reach 200 billion U.S. dollars, so will no doubt expand the enterprise search market, added a number of heavy.
, according to IDC data show that, by virtue of the efforts of the past 20 years, Microsoft has become the first enterprise search market two, just behind Autonomy.
Microsoft moves out, IBM will never be taken lightly. Under the pressure of competition, Big Blue recently hit a record in a portfolio: enterprise search tool released OmniFind, costing 1.6 billion acquisition of data transmission company FileNet, enterprise search solutions designed to improve the efficiency and quality.
IBM told the reporter concerned, IBM's OmniFind software has query different types of data sources and the ability to return results immediately, to a variety of data source search and collection capabilities with metadata. to provide field search, parametric search and other search features, supporting multi-level enterprise search secure. and the IBM China Development Center also has a strong enterprise search technology support.
TripleHop last year, the company completed the acquisition, Oracle Corporation also began to challenge the company in the field of enterprise search and IBM.
Recently, Oracle launched a grand enterprise search market into the enterprise search engine software security latest version . In order to expand the products affected, the Chief Executive Officer Larry. Ellison also personally went to Tokyo, Japan, delivered a speech on the launching ceremony, stressed the SES will preempt Google, Microsoft, the market gap left.
Oracle China content management and collaboration where people hung senior business manager told reporters: Oracle's search technology company has a large number of experts to develop enterprise search products, including search products usually more important and some other search products. recognition, although these capabilities may seem insignificant, but it is, including Yahoo, Google, MSN and America Online, including many consumer-oriented search firm is currently not available.
Chinese Academy of Sciences, Graduate School of Management Associate Dean Long Lvben Fu in an interview that, Oracle Search products in the most attractive places rely on search technology, database products, Oracle database product is the world's best, this is another small enterprise search companies can not achieve. < br> Although by Microsoft, Oracle and IBM about attack, Google's performance appears to have been changed for the better. Recently, Google made public, said sales of its enterprise business last year almost doubled.
However, the market research firm AMR The analyst said that in the enterprise search market, Google and Microsoft, the gap between the obvious, but Oracle and IBM in the database search field is the industry specializing in surgery. Microsoft obviously does not want to repeat the miracle of Google online search, but we can not avoid Oracle or IBM in the search field as its two other competitors like Google.
really 隔行如隔山?
many VIP business professional to join the reasons for not changing the party enterprise search companies dominate? do the same is search, also and technology integration approach to advance its enterprise search business.
enterprise users, but not good serve: their demands higher than individual users. It is also difficult for Google currently recognized in this area of the important reasons. < br> As the difference in the technical route, the Internet search engine company to do enterprise search, enterprise search product of its application in the practical application of the enterprise as effective as a professional enterprise search company. In addition, enterprise information management needs to grasp knowledge, business secrets the protection of data security and professional support services capabilities, the Internet search companies by industry analysts and CIO were questioned.
He Dongjiong view product manager in the TRS, Google and other major Internet companies is to change the impact of the habits of business users. their products simplicity, ease of use and visibility, are used to complex and cumbersome for large-scale application of business users to bring a new feeling.
from a technical point of view, although Internet search is generally considered the threshold of the high technology field, and to Fun enterprise search, more complex technology needs.
has nearly 20 years of Chinese natural language and full-text search technology company history of the Sky, enterprise-class search engine had broad applications in the country. The general manager of Mao Chuxiang think. Internet search to find many, and in enterprise search, you can not miss any.
response to this challenge, enterprise search vendor Autonomy proposed the concept of intelligent search. Using this technology, you can search the contents of a variety of text formats, such as Text, Word, Excel, PPT, PDF and a variety of data in a database format that can even search the contents of multimedia files.
smart search term in the document concerned in logic. It appears the words into account the context, at the same time be able to find specific words that may not contain the concepts but the document contains. In addition, it can be achieved based on the concept of refining or refining examples.
domestic TRS specializes intelligent Chinese information processing and full-text search technology. According to TRS He Dongjiong marketing manager, said in the applications, TRS which means that users can use or easily build applications. to avoid the deployment of the implementation from the application often requires planning to more compliant application environment, greater investment in consulting and implementation team can be truly effective in the harsh conditions.
the Sky has developed a new generation of file management system, covering almost all business processes, to achieve Full-text content of the file management and text retrieval. Meanwhile, Sky is also the first time realized the pictures, text, audio, video and other multimedia files associated with the content management and application integration.
Tianyu Wang Li, general manager of the Beijing Branch reporter, at present, Sky digital archive of the Integrated Management system has been successfully applied to the General Office of the State a, 001 units in other countries until the high-end users, a new generation of file management system in the text file data management and rapid, accurate and comprehensive use, and other areas have been the height of the user identity and a good evaluation.
the third generation of search engines dominate the search arena?
Internet search and enterprise search, figuratively speaking, like a Mercedes Benz and Xiali cars, the former provides only basic search functions, which can give users more additional, value-added services. So, enterprise search technology can be applied to Internet search on promotion to the leading enterprise search technology to third-generation search engine not dominate the search arena?
from a user experience point of view, the current emphasis on Internet search engine, search results and more, while ignoring the search quality. The industry is further noted that the current use of Google, PageRank algorithm as the core of the second generation of search engines limitations.
Although Google's ranking algorithm PageRank algorithm in fact is far more complex, but limited to keyword search has its limitations, Google is not the relevance of search results and other indicators on the distance from its competitors in the Search Feedback rapid appearance of many search results, the second-generation search engine technology and can not get accurate results.
company focused on enterprise search technology to the Internet, try to search, by providing more accurate, more personalized Search results from the second generation of search engines to gain market share there.
such as the Internet search engine Clusty, the company by drawing on Autonomy's pattern recognition technology and features such as automatic classification can be based on the search for understanding of the concept, to provide search results features such as automatic classification. In addition, like Grokker, Snap, Dogpile, etc. web site, they have a more personalized search results for Google users streaming presentation.
in the country, in addition to similar Bbmao social search engine that started to provide be able to automatic text into categories to help users quickly find the information he needs clustering technologies emerge, the established search companies Yahoo China, but also the presentation of search algorithms and carried out many improvements, not only reinforced the community content , blog and other content, data capture, and personalized presentation, fuzzy search, it is also a great progress.
two months ago, Yahoo China, Yahoo world, Alibaba launched a three-way joint fuzzy matching function smart search engine terms mmYahooImatch.Yahoo Alibaba China and said the system can use Yahoo to search for information in the user, the system can determine the user's search habits and intentions.
the face of 3 months will double the non-structural of the enterprise information, Autonomy using the second generation of search engines with different concepts of pattern matching and search algorithms that can use the computer to understand the relationship between context information.
although so far, the computer can not be completely understand the language, but the concept of recognition through the above, Autonomy has to be done to understand the significance of information and information between the connection. Users can search by natural language input sentence or paragraph of text, or even an article, Autonomy will automatically determine the described in the user query concepts from a document library in the enterprise and the user's search to find all documents related to the concept. Obviously, the semantic search more accurate than the traditional keyword search to locate the user's search intention.
information, but a key step in the use of information is to understand it. In other words, need to understand the content, send it to the right people, and the information and other related information and people together. This is such an enterprise search Autonomy is unique. in the presentation of search results also showed evolving in the shape search application, such as personalized search, social search, local search, Knowledge Q & A community, community content search and more. and in the core search technology, then generally contains the artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, semantic analysis, neural network development.
as neural networks and artificial intelligence search costly search, there is no shaping of the search engine appears, however, including Google, Microsoft, IBM and so on the IT giants have been searching the research and development of artificial intelligence, etc. put on the agenda. and at home, preparing a 7-year-old AIsou company is eager, ready to launch artificial intelligence search products.
But CCID Center for Internet and e-business consulting consultant analyst often Yanjie view: search engines, even Google's search algorithm is robust in much too far from the point of maturity. in the pursuit of precise search and user experience on the road, whether it is China Baidu, Sina, or world-class Yahoo, Google are in the early stages of exploration. For lack of search accuracy is the second generation of search that highlights the soft underbelly of the reasons. Pagerank as the core of the second generation of search in the web page ranking, content present, the search precision, there are a lot of problems.
often Yanjie said: For the current third generation of emerging search combines artificial intelligence, pattern recognition and a series of advanced technology, does represent the direction of search technology, Internet search company but now also try doing different in this regard, the application of these advanced technologies that not only are these so-called enterprise search engine original. from the current situation, the majority of the most obvious improvement of the third generation of search also focus on the main search results presented on a personalized, such as making sure the classification and so on. This is indeed an existing search vendors should pay attention to the place.
become a media company?
great search technology development are enticing, but why Google and other companies has yet to big innovation? In addition to the reasons for the technology itself, enterprise search market, small and out of Internet search improvement considering such factors as the cost of input and output, it is Google who a big step forward in technology is not an important reason.
as a leader in Internet search, and why Google's innovative search the past few years but have rarely seen? president of Analysys International in Yang pointed out that Google and Yahoo were not reluctant to increase investment in technology, but the cost of the improved algorithm is larger than that enhance the consumer experience, now part of the second generation of search has been able to meet the consumer's search needs, while more sophisticated search advertising model, Google to make some money fundamental, in this case, until they found a very high input-output ratio of the product or profit model, otherwise they will not give up the Google search technology and the current model.
media companies, its main income comes from advertising. and enterprise search are very different from the profit model. this time, enterprises can integrate information scattered across enterprise needs. the current situation, China has less information overall, the majority of SMEs, low degree of information technology, let alone engage in enterprise search a. get rid of the homogenization of price competition, more rely on the brand, be creative, then the integration of internal information becomes very necessary. area, with many of the typical large enterprise application case. Analysts pointed out that with the popularity of the search, the development of information technology, enterprise search in the country also achieved great development.
in the country, the enterprise market is estimated the size of a two hundred million dollars, TRS accounts 5,000 million, accounting for 12 million yuan last year, Baidu (NASDAQ earnings data). IDC recent study shows that the future global enterprise search market space 7 to 10 billion U.S. dollars, and With enterprise search and Web search market mutual penetration. The above statistics do not include Google, because Google is to take the hardware and software bundled together for marketing strategies.
Marketing Manager at TRS He Dongjiong view, companies Search the market need to nurture the future will become more than 1 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, enterprise search consulting market is even larger than the product market, which is Google and consulting companies are also one of the reasons.
information through the king Wang Tong Technology Co., Ltd. Chief Executive Officer pointed out that the search engine companies with foreign applications and Internet applications go hand in hand the situation is different in China, the search engine side of the application appeared in the phenomenon of hot side of the cold. application of the Internet search engine market, search engine Marketing continues to heat up the heat and the competition becoming increasingly fierce, and corresponding enterprise application market, the limited level of enterprise information, enterprise search application development is highly unbalanced, people's understanding of the search engine at only a Competitive Intelligence and traditional full text retrieval applications.
Wang Tong believes that the situation caused the Chinese enterprise search does not open because the business needs not up yet. the needs of enterprise search is now concentrated in the information-intensive industries, such as government , media, big business, high level of information in these industries, and therefore the demand for enterprise search is also very strong. these companies have accumulated a lot of information, began thinking about how to re-use, up to a high degree of knowledge management, or would like to For more valuable information. This leads to internal full-text search and competitive intelligence needs.
even less. fee model uncertainty, is the enterprise search market needs to overcome three major problems. , it is hoped one day to develop a platform to carry more advertising, so advertising to those who have the means to access the enterprise employees. but the business itself may not want to sponsor such a service, but also do not want in their own see the emergence of advertising networks.
this, Google enterprise product manager Matthew Glotzbach predicted, enterprise search for advertisers, the search service providers and enterprises to bring their own new market. Geluo Zi Bach said: Imagine 500 companies in the world to network advertising, advertisers will be more inclined to these companies to pay substantial costs, chief information officer. He pointed out that, Yahoo has done earlier than the Google search, but Yahoo did not have to become a portal advertising model, it was because the U.S. Internet advertising market is not mature. The launch of Google at the right time to the simplicity of the search and reasonable advertising mode, only successful.
. The maximum value is the free flow of information, and this led directly to a result that the unprecedented expansion of information, so we had to rely on search engines to find what we need.
when reporters enter Search for 0.054 seconds.
from these search results, we see that most of Internet search in the search engine to emphasize that the search speed and quantity, and unfortunately, in the blink of an eye-like speed of the search engine tend to come out after the millions of search results Most people can only see a small portion of the front.
have a well-known survey found that employees in U.S. companies an average of 1 / 8 of the work of the time spent looking for hidden in his computer or on-line information within the enterprise. The large number of enterprises in the nonlinear, unstructured data, the Internet search engine, obviously can not effectively dealt with. this case, the emphasis on coverage and the related low Internet search engine, in the field of business users began to weaken.
have to deal with video, audio, e-mail attachments and other unstructured information is not easy, if you installed a desktop search tool, you will find, during the search before the need for the contents of the computer to do for a long time and record the index.
in the search field, it appears that the efficiency and accuracy has always been contradictory.
by improving the algorithm, the latest of a number of enterprise search technology, has let a lot of people feel exciting. intelligent, precise search function will no doubt add more users search engines viscosity, it is difficult to estimate the potential economic benefits.
if the growing number of industry websites for their own platform can Embedded powerful search features that make searching fast and accurate, so is bound to expand the search engine industry in a wide range of social influence at the same time, to increase operational efficiency and enterprise e-business development to create a vision of a more worthy future.
for users, regardless of how the evolution of search technology, the user search interface will certainly be more simple and convenient. between efficiency and accuracy of each collision, may allow the user access to the application of a more wonderful experience. All of this for users, are equally welcomed.
Sky General Manager Mao Chuxiang: Web search to find many, and in the enterprise search is in order not to miss any one, and must be accurate.
