I had the good fortune of attending some partner training from FAST last spring. I was really impressed with the product and was looking forward to working with it. Ongelukkig, one project fell through and then EMC acquired my company. Predictably, a certain amount of chaos ensued while we learned about EMC and EMC learned about us. FAST technology dropped a few points on the priority scale during that period. Egter, Ek het nog nooit het my belangstelling in die produk en, meer interessant, die groter probleem van vindbaarheid.
Ek het regtig nie hou nie dat die woord, but I’m trying to get used to it 🙂 Despite it’s awkwardness, vindbaarheid is 'n ware (of ten minste, opkomende) term. Do a Live Search As jy belangstel in die vind van meer tegniese definisies, maar die manier waarop ek verduidelik dit rondom die kantoor is soos hierdie:
Intellektuele kapitaal wat nie gevind kan word, kan ook nie bestaan ​​nie.
Dit is amper soos ware om dit te sê:
Intellektuele kapitaal wat nie gevind kan word vinnig en maklik kan net sowel nie bestaan ​​nie.
Intellektuele kapitaal (IC) starts as an idea in a person’s head and is then refined via collaboration with colleagues and interactions with various communities. To be truly useful, these resulting ideas must be recorded. This is where the trouble begins 🙂
Hierdie dae, opname gewoonlik beteken dat die idee is gedokumenteer in die vorm van 'n MS Word doc, Excel werkboek, ens.. and eventually stuck in electronic format on a hard drive somewhere. IC obviously takes other forms like, soos beelde, videos, hoogs insiggewende blogs, wikis … it’s impossible to list them all. Op dieselfde tyd, IC gestoor word in 'n verskeidenheid van plekke soos lêer stelsels, databasisse, lyn van besigheid aansoeke (ERP, CRM, SharePoint, Documentum), ens..
Dit is die vindbaarheid probleem: hoe kan vinnig en maklik te vind pakkie wat in dekades of honderde van formaat in dekades of honderde duisende gestoor word, tienduisende (durf ek sê honderde duisende) van die plekke in 'n organisasie?
It’s a difficult problem to solve. Bill Engels skryf oor vindbaarheid from a very grand perspective in what I have come to think of as the Panama Canal approach. The history of the Panama Canal is amazing. In a nut shell, 'n mal Fransman (Ferdinand de Lesseps) begin met 'n private maatskappy om die kanaal te bou, die projek is laat vaar vir 'n paar jaar, picked up again and finally finished by the American government under President Roosevelt. This reminds me of Bill’s approach because as he rightly points out, solving the findability is both hard and never stops. It took years and years of effort from the some of the hardest working humans on the planet to start, voortgaan, en uiteindelik voltooi). And yet, it’s still not truly finished. Sover ek weet, die kanaal se banke het nog nooit met hul rushoek, meaning that they have to be shored up and otherwise maintained even to this day. Solving findability is the same way. I definitely recommend that you read Bill’s series and subscribe to his blog for his point of view on findability, veral as dit verband hou met SharePoint.
I too am interested in this problem. Due to my exposure to FAST and on-going discussions on this subject with my brilliant EMC colleagues, I have some more ideas I plan to write about over the coming weeks and months. In my next article on this little series, Ek gaan om te probeer en sit 'n boks rondom die probleem om te wys hoe verskriklik dit regtig is (it’s more awful than you think 🙂 ). It’s awful, but at least it does fit inside a box.
