Since 1996 we've been helping clients select, plan and implement search and related technologies.  This includes enterprise search, customer facing search, embedded and eCommerce search.  Along the way we've also helped a number of search vendors with marketing, IP assesment and technical resources.

Are you looking for some help?

This section outlines a number of targeted professional service offerings, and of course we can always offer a custom program.  The reality is that every client is different, and large companies wind up with some very interesting business challenges.

Our packaged services include vendor selection, Search Best Practices, Search Advisors Program and quarterly reviews.  Custom services can be delivered under fixed price, time and materials or retainer basis, depending on the type of work.

What do you need to get done?

Are you not getting excellent results from your existing search technology?  The fix or replace dilemma is a very common one these days.  Or perhaps you've got multiple engines, many silos of information, and offices scattered all over the globe; would federated search be appropriate?  Again, you're not alone, other companies have faced these challenges, and there are always answers.  And we still encounter startups looking for their very first engine.

Why use us?

Our About Us page has information about our history and management team, and some of the advantages we offer, including vendor neutrality and decades of combined experience.  And of course the obligatory client and partner logos.

Just looking around?

That's cool.  We have a number of free resources for folks interested in search.  The Research area is sort of a crash-course outline about the business and technology of search.  Whereas the Industry Trends area introduces more individual hot topics on the minds of readers and clients, and yes, there is a bit of overlap.

And of course don't miss our blog, newsletter, SearchDev forums, glossary, and search components database.
