Study: Enterprise search is lame

It may be the Google era on the Internet, but when it comes to finding company information that employees need to do their jobs, it's barely even the CompuServe era.

That, more or less, is what research firm AIIM found in a study that surveyed more than 500 businesses in May about the "findability" of information.

In the study, 49 percent agreed that it's hard to find information they need, and 69 percent said less than half of their employer's information is searchable online.

Enterprise search technology is widely available, so the issue lies more with corporate priorities than with the state of the art, AIIM said in the study, announced Tuesday.

AIIM's study showed that it's hard for people to find the information they need for their job.
