About
I, Stephen E. Arnold, am a specialist in online search and related disciplines. In June 2011, Pandia in Oslo, Norway, published “The New Landscape of Enterprise Search“, which discusses the strengths and weaknesses of six enterprise search frameworks. I am the author of the first three editions of the “Enterprise Search Report, (2004-2006)” “The Google Legacy (2005),” “Google Version 2.0 (2007), and “Google: The Digital Gutenberg” (2009).” My 2009 monograph with Martin White, a search and information advisor in the UK is “Managing Successful Enterprise Search”. This was published by Galatea in the United Kingdom. My ArnoldIT.com research team has developed in-depth briefings on Google’s new data spaces technology. A version of this remarkable initiative has been published by Sue Feldman and Stephen Arnold. That document is available from IDC here. The report is number 213562. Mr. Arnold conducts confidential competitive analyses. I can be reached at seaky2000 at yahoo dot com.
I write for fee columns for Enterprise Technology Management, Information Today, Online Magazine, and KMWorld plus a few occasional items. My content reaches somewhere between one and three people each month.
I started to monetize this Web log in mid 2008. Our initial work was a new report series called, Beyond Search Reports. The Beyond Search team will prepare a short white paper about a search, content processing or online service. These reports are prepared for a client. The approach is objective and we include information that makes these documents suitable for the client’s marketing and sales efforts. Clients work closely with the Beyond Search professional to help ensure that the message is on target and clear. Rates are set to be within reach of organizations regardless of their size.
You can get coverage in this or one of our other information services, but we charge for our time. Stated another way: If you want a story about you, your company, or your product, you will be expected to write a check or pay via PayPal. We do not do news. We do this.
If you have a consulting project, a no cost, no obligation price quotation will be provided. More information is available at Mr. Arnold’s principal Web site, www.arnoldit.com. Or, you can send him email: seaky2000 at yahoo dot com. The office number is +1 502 228 1966, in the US Eastern time zone. Public relations and sales professionals are not encouraged to contact me.

The data and information provided on this site are for informational purposes only. I, Stephen E. Arnold, make no representations as to accuracy, completeness, timeliness, objectivity, suitability, or validity of any information in a write up or on this site. Our content is pegged to source materials which are reachable via a public network. If you read something in Beyond Search, it is not news or “real” journalism.
My views and opinions change. Frequently. Expect to find variances when you compare certain essays with my other written work.
I started the Beyond Search Web log for myself, promote my studies, capture information that won’t be in my for-fee work, and have a time stamped record of what I was thinking, why, and when. I am human; therefore, I make errors. If you read something and accept it without verifying my information and interpretation, that’s your decision. Got a problem with my approach? Do not read this Web log.
The information is provided on an as-is basis and, at this time, without a fee. Just in case: If I say something dumb in the future, it’s better to be able to point out that the error is mine and a mistake should not be a surprise.
Keep in mind this is a Web log, not a formal publication. There’s no editorial review board, no peer-review process, no comprehensive archive of my work, and no assurance that I am thinking coherently when I jot down my thoughts. i do not hire journalists. Most of those working on my projects are failed middle school teachers, technical wizards, and librarians. Oh, I have one legally blind person and a Googley type from a Klingon star ship, two boxers, and a lot of computers.
