- What: Co-hosted by Eric Kavanagh and Jim Ericson of DM Review, the live Webcast entitled “In Search of... Enterprise Search” will feature several industry experts, including Dr. Larry Harris, vice president and general manager for Progress EasyAsk products, to discuss the ins and outs of Operational BI. During the webcast, participants will learn:
- How search technology can help prevent redundant report creation
- Why the structured and unstructured worlds are so different
- The importance of SQL in dealing with structured data
- How to unite the worlds of structured and unstructured information
- How search technology can help educate information users
- Why: Finding the discrete bits of information everyone needs to perform their job on a daily basis can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. That's where Enterprise Search can help, by letting information consumers use the familiar paradigm of search to find what they seek. But Enterprise Search is not exactly the same as traditional Web-based search and there are some very different approaches for dealing with structured and unstructured data.
Dr. Harris is responsible for the worldwide business strategy and operations for the product lines in the EasyAsk division of Progress Software. He is internationally recognized as an expert on database systems and computerized natural language. Dr. Harris founded EasyAsk as Linguistic Technology Corporation (LTC) in 1994.
