The Difference Is Experience

Dahu consultants have in-depth knowledge of many different search technologies, having previously worked for companies including Microsoft, Fast, Autonomy, Verity, and Exalead, and in roles ranging from technical support to VP of Technology.

We work with organisations of all sizes and types. Our experience includes Finance, Manufacturing, Local and National Government, Security, Education, Research and Professional Organisations. We are currently working with one of the "big-four" professional services companies, a global broadcast media organisation, large manufacturing companies, as well as government departments, universities, academic and professional societies, and charities.

Our consultants combine direct, first-hand experience of the internal workings of major search engine platforms with a proven history of successful technical innovation. Building on our unique industry-wide experience, we can provide independent advice and assistance wherever you are in the procurement or project lifecycle. Before initiating a new search or analytics project, we can help to devise or fine-tune your enterprise search strategy, to maximise the probability of a successful project, one that leads to measurable improvements in relevant search-related metrics.  If needed, we can even help you to build a compelling business case.

We can drive the procurement process for you. With extensive experience from both sides of the fence, we can help at every step of the way, from requirement analysis, vendor selection, RFI and RFP generation, through to technical evaluation and management of a "proof of concept" exercise. We ensure you make the right product choice, and you get the best possible technical and commercial fit for your business.

Our implementation projects deliver value.   We work closely with business as well as technical stakeholders to understand the core project goals, which helps us to define relevant, contextual, success criteria. We start from the business case, not from a templated "one-size-fits all" approach. Next, we design the solution and support the implementation team as needed, ensuring "best-practice" ideas and processes are built-in at every stage. Where there is a need for customisation, our consultants develop bespoke solution components, frameworks and plugins. All Dahu components are warranted for life.
