Jim Mosher: On Interaction Management and the FAST Search Engine

Jim Mosher, Senior Program Manager in the Microsoft Enterprise Search Group, sits down with us to discuss Interaction Management.

Interaction Management enables users to interact with and consume information more quickly and more effectively through search and search-related technologies. The Microsoft Enterprise Search Group (MESG) is driving this initiative, with plans to provide enabling technology initially to the FAST search engine (Microsoft purchased FAST last year) and eventually to a broader application base. This conversation provides an overview of our vision for Interaction Management and points out where Interaction Management concepts are being used today.
