Forrester Describes Post-Search World
Companies that find new ways to deliver content and help their customers access content will survive and thrive, according to Matthew Brown, Senior Analyst with Forrester Research. Brown was the featured speaker on a recent Mark Logic webinar, "Survival Secrets for the Post-Search World."
He pointed out that as information control shifts from traditional mass media outlets to consumers on the Web, channels for information access increase and the demand rises for modular content, information providers must evolve their offerings.
"Content consumers want content with utility, in other words, something they can actually do something with," he said.
New technologies like XML are helping information providers meet consumer needs, according to Brown. XML builds upon basic search to offer content integration, searchability, reuse, and delivery.
"We see search getting smarter, the technology behind search getting smarter," he stated. "We think key things like XML offer ways to build new and innovative composite applications - many of which we haven't even thought of yet -
so our view is, we are not at an end-game here as far as search is concerned."
