When organizations are inundated with vast amounts of digital information, managing and accessing content has become a pivotal challenge, regardless of their scale.

I’m showing my age somewhat, but when I was at school, Google search was only just getting going and these types of paradoxical ideas like ChatGPT and Generative AI were akin to something that you only see in a movie, but difficult to believe could happen—like the hoverboard concept in Back to the Future II. The […]
As I promised in my last blog, I will discuss real-world examples of hybrid search deployment projects at both a large, publicly-traded manufacturing company and a well-known multi-national law firm. First, let’s look at the manufacturing company and understand a bit about their systems. Their business productivity stack is Microsoft O365, and all business records […]
As promised, this is a follow up blog about a deployment at one of the world’s largest biopharmaceutical companies committed to discovering, developing, and delivering innovative medicine to patients.

In part two of my blog series, I discussed how the single index is going the way of the dinosaur. I also introduced the concept of an “In-App” enterprise search experience, which I think is the future. Even more bluntly, In-App Search is game-changing technology. It allows users to seamlessly access information spread across multiple […]

I was delighted to recently join the BA Insight Shared Insights Podcast to talk about how everything that was Sci-Fi when I was a kid is now real. It’s sometimes hard to remember that fact when sitting in traffic and struggling to hear people on conference calls, or wondering when a download will start… But […]
This month is my six year anniversary at BA Insight, and during these years, after many discussions with prospects, customers and even analysts, it is obvious that enterprise search has a bad rap. I’m not sure if you have observed this, but convincing leadership that enterprise search should be an area of investment is often […]
Raise your hand: How often do you review the title of, say, the Word document you are writing or make sure the “Description” field is filled out before you publish and share it?
Towards the end of 2018, the second edition of Deloitte’s “State of AI in the Enterprise” was released. The full report is well worth the time to read, but after we closed out 2018, I couldn’t get one section of the report out of my mind. Specifically, the first of their three core findings that […]
