Autonomy after Winning the Enterprise Search Wars : Beyond Search - 0 views

Autonomy companies enterprise-search search software

  • Connectors, in my experience, are one of the surprises that often bedevil licensees. These code chunks make it possible for the licensee to index information that reside in systems or files within an organization. A vendor who does not provide connectors leaves the customer with some stark options; for example, don’t index the content or pay for a new connector. If Mr. Stamper is correct, Autonomy’s connectors are a definite plus for the IDOL system.

KM Space: Sharepoint Wiki Disaster - 0 views

SharePoint case-studies enterprise2.0 wikis

shared by Lars Bauer on 10 Jan 09 - Cached
  • One of the advantages to using a platform approach is the integration of the various pieces in one place, with a unified look and searching. We have been using Sharepoint as the platform for our intranet for many years
  • The top three on my list are Mediawiki, Confluence and SocialText. All of very INexpensive.Mediawiki is open source and free. We have not used open source software before, so it presents some new challenges.Confluence has a free download and a sharepoint connector.SocailText also has a SharePoint connector. The company is one of the thought leaders in wikis and social media.
  • I was stunned to find out the problem was not us. It was them. The Sharepoint wiki will not send out the changes. It merely sends out the entire wiki page.

  • This is a disaster. It removes the communications aspect of the wiki.
  • Alternatively, Kwizcom have a Sharepoint wiki which might do the trick (plus a free evaluation version). http://www.kwizcom.com/ProductPage.asp?ProductID=524&ProductSubNodeID=525
  • We have been experiencing problems with the notification feature for wikis in Sharepoint. When there is a change to a wiki page, it sends out the whole wiki page with no indication of the changes.
  • I introduced Confluence in my previous job, and was very happy with it. However it's a challenge to maintain it with pure Windows point and click trained IT staff.
  • With Confluence, many many plug-ins and macros are available to present access to content on your web page.
  • Traction TeamPage has the feature you request (and then some) which is to send e-mail notification that shows the DIFF view of the old and new pages. You can fine tune which spaces you want to monitor at this level - and even fine tune it by author, tag or other search facility.
  • For categorizing any SharePoint items or documents cross-site based on centrally managed taxonomies and browse it by default navigation, category tree or A-Z directory you can use the Taxonomy Extension found at:http://www.sharepartxxl.com/products/taxonomy/default.aspx

SharePoint alternatives connectors ECM software strategy collaboration

shared by Lars Bauer on 17 Jan 09 - Cached
  • When it comes to departmental file sharing or collaborative workspaces, Microsoft's SharePoint has legions of fans in midsized companies. But for those not interested in paying for SharePoint (the basic version is free), or who find some features immature in the latest version, there are SharePoint alternatives.
  • The move to MOSS 2007 seems to be natural once users install Office 2007.
  • Midmarket companies accounted for 35% of the respondents, and among this group, half said price was not an inhibitor for MOSS deployments. Although nearly half -- 46% -- said the price was higher than they expected.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Microsoft estimates MOSS pricing at $US4,424 for a server license and $US94 per client access license (in the U.S.).
  • MOSS' capabilities range from basic collaboration to portal creation and business intelligence content management. Yet MOSS' breadth is both too much and not enough for some midmarket users.
  • While the portal capabilities in MOSS are mature, for example, some companies are holding off on what they perceive as less-developed features in the suite, such as social networking, enterprise search and Web content management capabilities. These companies are waiting until Microsoft releases the next version, Koplowitz said.
  • Another potential drawback is a dearth in skill sets, as well as a lack of SharePoint documentation coming from Microsoft
  • On the surface, SharePoint is easy to get off the ground, but he said he's finding that people quickly get in over their heads.
  • Although SharePoint appears to be on a lot of CIOs' agendas, midmarket businesses have plenty of other choices.
  • There's integration with enterprise content management systems.
  • There are also third-party add-ons
  • Open Text Corp., with its ECM suite, is another company that both competes and integrates with SharePoint.
  • Competing products and vendors in the Web 2.0 space include Jive Software's Clearspace business social community software, which has customers in the midsized market, and Atlassian Software Systems Pty Ltd. and Socialtext Inc. These started out as wikis but are broadening their community-based collaborative offerings.
