B3: Successfully Integrating Search Tools into Wide- Area Networks: Implementing the Google Search Appliance in a Global Chemical Company

Making search really work is fraught with peril. You cannot think of all the requirements, there are "features" in your infrastructure you are not aware of, and there is no way to fully know the product you have selected until you try to do something useful with it. The vendor white papers have feature check lists but the devil is in the details: How will this product work in our environment? This session focuses on the real-world challenges of implementing the Google Search Appliance. Product, infrastructure, and integration difficulties will be candidly outlined. Topics for discussion include:

• Identifying and integrating the latest search tools to enhance your systems
• Increasing the value of your captured data by enhancing accessibility and working with new approaches
• Supporting data and knowledge driven decisions to efficiently develop successful products
• Integrating legacy data into new search solutions
