IT company atlas upper Franconia
Daniel Blank, Sebastian Boosz, Andreas Henrich · 2016
Identifying a competent service provider or contractor is not an easy task. This is especially true in the IT sector with its short-lived trends and products. In this context an"IT Company Atlas" giving substantiated information about the IT companies in a certain region seems to be a promising idea. However, a B2B directory administered manually for this purpose is expensive to establish and to maintain. An alternative approach discussed in this paper is to apply expert search techniques and provide a search engine searching for companies instead of documents.
