The Problem
•
It’s increasingly difficult to find quality
information on the Internet. Easy to
find an address, or company’s website
but, more difficult to research or learn.
– Nearly 70% of business professionals agree that
finding information is a difficult process; 61% of
them believe they have a less than 75% chance of
finding the information they need. - Delphi Group, 2002

The Problem
• Lack of effective tools for
analyzing and sharing information
– “Despite the broad array of existing information
management technology tools, knowledge
workers are still unable to find the needed
information to perform their jobs or they must
spend an inordinate amount of time seeking that
information.” Delphi Group, 2002

VisIT can augment existing search engines
making them smarter, more current and
comprehensive as well as working with its
own search engine which can be directed
by its users.
VisIT search spaces can be saved by users
and shared with others making VisIT the
only search tool with “reusable” search
results. Imagine if you could get search
results organized by a world renowned
expert instead of 2 million hits in a list!
