  A new survey, however, finds that employees at big companies (with more than 10,000 employees) spend, on average, 38 minutes searching for one document -- whether that's on their own computers or their organization's networks, databases or intranet.

  • Just 9 percent of the companies responding to the survey have an automated system in place for locating experts.
  • Inside corporate firewalls, the consequences of bad findability are less immediate, harder to measure and less visible. The connections to the bottom line results are harder to trace. But bad findability internally will nonetheless lead to death, although a slow and painful one.
