What others say about The Search & Information Access Report 2009

"The Search & Information Access Report is jammed full of great stuff..."
-- Lou Rosenfeld, Leading independent information architecture guru

"The Search & Information Access Report is a useful tool for anyone working on an enterprise search project. The descriptions of how search works, recommendations for how teams and projects should be structured, as well as the information about hidden costs and how to control them make the report worth your time."
-- Chiara Fox, Senior Information Architect, Adaptive Path

"I've seen a lot of basic vendor comparison guides, but none of them come close to the technical depth, real-life experience, and hard-hitting critiques that I found in the Search & Information Access Report. When I need the real scoop about vendors, I always turn to CMS Watch."
-- Alexander T. Deligtisch, Co-founder & Vice President, Spliteye Multimedia

"There are two main features of The Search & Information Access Report that keep me coming back to it as a reference. There are, of course, the reviews of the different tools which are very helpful when I need to quickly learn about a new search engine. But of even more value is its treatment of the requirements and pitfalls of search implementations in general. Highly recommended for those considering a search implementation."
-- Ron Daniel, Jr., Principal, Taxonomy Strategies LLC
