Summary

This chapter began by stating that access to information would give your company a competitive advantage. Getting access to information stored in many forms throughout your enterprise has never been simpler. No more endless report writer reports, training in SQL for accessing databases, scratching your head about how to access LDAP data, or figuring out how to query through hundreds of different data types. The Google Search Appliance can do this and more. For smaller applications, for searching through company documents and Web data, install the Google Mini.

Integrate the Enterprise software tools discussed in Chapter 37 with these hardware devices for greater business data access. Learn how to further enhance your business access to data and integrate Google technology into your enterprise in the next chapter.
