FASTforward Summit – Reflecting User Thinking

Finding new ways to exploit the power and flexibility of Enterprise Search remains a high priority for every CIO and many senior business people. Organisations are eager to exploit a technology that, although easy to implement, gives control to business users to reach and retain new audiences, provide ways to reduce cost and risk and create new opportunities to drive revenue. Search is used across all industries to:

• Connect online or mobile users to all the information they need
• Enable a business to rapidly adapt to new challenges and opportunities
• Drive profitable business outcomes
• Create fresh personalised experiences for users

This Summit is designed to give unique access to some of the world’s leading visionaries and practitioners in Enterprise Search - with presentations from industry experts, guest speakers and customers you will learn how:

• Organisations use Search to understand customer preferences and apply this insight to automatically adapt and match user expectations
• Search technology can help re-create and generate revenue through the irresistible draw of social media sites
• Search has broken free from to a text box to creatively use maps and images as navigational tools
• Search provides a platform to create new vertical business models
• Search is being used to nurture internal talent, understand the wisdom of crowds, drive operational efficiency and increase productivity by creating social networking applications

The FASTforward Summit will include:

• KEYNOTE SESSIONS: Hear from FAST Executives and organisations using search to drive business performance in innovative ways
• PARALLEL SESSIONS: Tracks specifically tailored for those either using search to drive revenue within an Internet Business or those tasked to improve business productivity
