BI and search are in the early stages of coming together, yet the study reveals there is significant awareness of the trend. In fact, more than half of respondents said their organizations expect to deploy some type of search capability over the next two years. To put this perspective, let’s first examine the respondents and the organizations they represent. Most respondents were located in the United States and they represent all major industries and company sizes, from less than $100 million in annual revenue to more than $10 billion.
