This AIIM Market IQ is focused on a genre of technologies—some old, some new—and related content management models that establish an enterprise approach to searching, navigating, discovering, and retrieving content—in a word, Findability.
AIIM used two main sources to construct this report. The first was the accumulated experience and ongoing market analysis work performed by the AIIM Market Intelligence group. The second was a survey AIIM Market Intelligence developed and administered. The survey was taken by 500 individuals between April 28
and May 9, 2008.
It should be noted that the survey results are reported in aggregate (i.e., both AIIM members and non-AIIM members), except in cases where the opinions of these two groups were polar enough so as to render the aggregated responses as non-indicative of either group. These instances are specifically noted in the body of this Market IQ, and separate graphs are provided. Further survey population demographics can be found in the Appendix.
This Market IQ covers the concept of Findability from multiple perspectives, providing a thorough education on the topic. In order to achieve a balanced understanding of Findability, the reader is encouraged to read the report in its entirety, in the order presented. The report, however, has been structured into six sections, each providing a specific perspective on Findability.
