We will shortly be launching the survey for our next Market Intelligence Quarterly, this time the topic is Findability.
Here's a sense of the general content we intend to include - would love feedback on what YOU would find useful, as a buyer, supplier or integrator of Findability-related systems.
Feel free to comment at will - what should we add, what should we remove? We can't ask all the questions that could be asked, so your feedback in narrowing to the most important TO YOU would be much appreciated.
If you are wondering what a finished Market IQ looks like, see the Market IQ on Content Security (2007) and our recent Market IQ on Enterprise 2.0 (Q1 2008).
