Comments on: How Does Your Organization Unlock the Value of Information? http://searchdoneright.com/2009/11/how-does-your-organization-unlock-the-value-of-information/ Enterprise Search Expertise, Brought To You By Vivísimo Mon, 26 Apr 2010 14:31:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stacy Monarko http://searchdoneright.com/2009/11/how-does-your-organization-unlock-the-value-of-information/comment-page-1/#comment-57571 Stacy Monarko Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:17:33 +0000 http://searchdoneright.com/?p=476#comment-57571 In terms of spending, I think it is important to understand the overall IT spending trends. In a recent report, <a href="http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1209913" rel="nofollow">Gartner</a> stated that “The IT industry is exiting its worst year ever, as worldwide IT spending is on pace to decline 5.2% in 2009.” The forecast for 2010 is a little better but Gartner still reports that “2010 is about balancing the focus on cost, risk, and growth. For more than 50% percent of CIOs the IT budget will be 0% or less in growth terms.” With such small overall IT increased spending, I think that suggesting one third of organizations will increase their spending on search is significant. In a time where every dollar is being scrutinized, it is the realization that an improved information access solution can impact an organization’s top and bottom line that is leading to increased investment. It is always challenging to predict future spend, but having just been to the Enterprise Search Summit West last week I can say that there are many organizations out there planning investment for their information access initiatives in 2010.
