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 government officials. Organizations are eager to exploit a technology that, although easy to implement, gives control to users to reach and retain new audiences, provide ways to reduce cost and risk and create reliable, actionable knowledge. Search is used across government departments to:

• Improve transparency of government information
• Enable departmental collaboration
• Increase the range and value of online services
• Enable enhanced accountability
• Enhance organizational intelligence
• Augment data security

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 and guest speakers you will learn how:

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