As a follow up to my post last week about the benefits of using the Google Search Appliance for enterprise content and our enhanced partnership with Google, I wanted to let everyone know about an event in January at which Perficient’s GSA “guru” Chad Johnson will be speaking. It’s in about two weeks. On January 14th, the Colorado Software and Internet Association will feature a breakfast meeting called “Realize Greater Return-on-Information with Google.”
Chad is Google Practice Manager and Technical Director here, and he’ll be speaking with Newell Falkinburg, Regional Manager for Google’s enterprise applications team.
The level of detail available at this meeting about GSA looks pretty strong — plus, they plan to cover ROI estimation. If you live in or around Denver and you’re just getting into picking out an enterprise search solution, you won’t want to miss this one. More details.

Realize Greater Return-on-Information with Google
In today’s business environment, time and information are arguably our two most precious resources. Yet most businesses squander both on a daily basis.
Do you know:
The high costs to a company of not finding information, or of finding it too late, include faulty decisions, duplicated efforts, lost productivity, and missed opportunities. Their impact can cascade throughout an organization. The personal frustrations involved are also considerable – as anyone who has tried and failed to find a slide or a spreadsheet in time for a vital meeting can testify. The costs can be even higher in fields such as health care, the pharmaceutical industry, and life sciences, where up-to-date information and time-to-market are competitive essentials.
Yet, given the economy, organizations simply don’t want to spend an enormous amount of money deploying an enterprise search system. And outside of procuring the system itself, the real cost in many cases can be in integrating the system to the various content repositories and business applications.
During this program you will:
To address these issues, Google has a two-fold solution. First, they’ve architected the Google Search Appliance in such a way that it is extremely easy to deploy, and brings Google’s internet search expertise to the enterprise. Second, they’ve brought in key partners to quickly onboard organizations and provide a ‘JumpStart’ to their deployment and achieving an ROI. One such partner is Perficient, a leading information technology consulting firm serving clients throughout the United States. As a key Google partner, Perficient uses their expertise in designing and delivering enterprise search solutions to help customers gain competitive advantage, improve productivity, and reduce information technology costs.
