Search Administration is Difficult • Heterogeneous Data Models – Every system is different – Mapping to common metadata is essential for findability • Heterogeneous Security • Bandwidth and Performance – LOTS of content – Cross-site bandwidth can be expensive/limited – Source Systems can be the limiting factor
