Justifying Enterprise Search: Mitigating Risk and Getting the Right Fit

Today we highlight Workshop C: Justifying Enterprise Search: Mitigating Risk and Getting the Right Fit taking place at Gilbane Boston, November 29, 9:00am – 12:00pm at the Westin Waterfront.

While enterprise search has been debated, maligned, and challenged as a high value infrastructure application over the past decade, it has a place in every enterprise with valuable content. This presentation highlights how to make the right decisions about enterprise search applications. From embedded search to high-end semantic applications, the options are numerous and the technologies solid. However, the right choice is imperative and basing selection on business priorities requires artful analysis and justification. Illustrating the risks of continuing to operate with a faulty search solution is a good way to focus thinking about the search environment in any organization.

Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to Support iOS 5 Newsstand

Adobe Systems Incorporated announced that publishers will be able to use Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to create magazine and newspaper applications that appear in the Apple Newsstand section of the iTunes App Store and the Newsstand folder on the iPad. As a cross-platform solution, content owners can use Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to target their new digital editions at iPad, Android tablets and BlackBerry Playbook devices. Publishers will be able to use Digital Publishing Suite to create files that are detected by Newsstand and automatically downloaded to the Newsstand shelf, eliminating long downloads times which can present a barrier to reading content on iPad devices.
