    Welcome to the June 2007 edition of Enterprise Search!

    Summer is here, and it looks like things are heating up in the Enterprise Search world as well as here in California. Vendors like Google and IBM Yahoo! seem to be winning business from the established leaders - and of course there is a pack of large technology companies including giants Microsoft, Oracle and SAP who are striving to join the leadership quadrant. And a number of smaller companies like DieselPoint and ISYS are expanding their capabilities to move into leadership roles as well.

    We hope you enjoy this issue of the newsletter, and we look forward to hearing from you any time.
