Customer pains on information management are twofold

BillG on Search and Information Management at 2006 CEO Summit

“The problem, really, is twofold.

The first is information overload. Faced with the endless deluge of

data... how can we hope to keep up? … how can we stay focused on the

tasks that are most important..?

The other problem is… information underload. We’re flooded with

information, but that doesn’t mean we have tools that let us use the

information effectively.”

“I spend so much time fighting fires it's hard to get my work done”

“Meeting? I don't have time for another meeting...”

“By the time I find out the issue, it's already a big fire, if only I knew about it

sooner”
