BlueSpring Visual SharePoint Search

Have previously known BlueSpring as a BPM vendor.  Have been informed of their capabilities of visual search of SharePoint data.  I remember that search process for analytics data being painful. This is built on the Zakta visual search engine, which is impressive. Worth a look.

" ... Provide an instant boost in find-ability, visual appeal and value to users of Microsoft SharePoint.  ... 
Organizations have spent millions of dollars making Microsoft SharePoint™ the de-facto standard platform for their associates to store, collaborate and share information. Sites, document libraries, lists, wiki’s, discussion boards and blogs abound housing all types of corporate IP from HR frequently asked questions to new product development ideas.

A Store as an Internet of Display Panels

Attended an Ascendum meeting this evening and got a demo from their Zingo subsidiary.  They have a projectable sign system that is suitable for retail augmentation via personalization.  Nicely done approach.  The system was described in a recent Biz Journals piece.    A kind of internet of displaying panels.  The result can be a very adaptable approach for signage in a store, without the expense of flat panels.  Clever idea.
