Google will extend its search functionality to the world of corporate infrastructure, as they prepare to announce a deal with the business consulting firm BearingPoint Inc. The companies will embark upon the growing field of enterprise searching, a way for businesses to simplify their huge and disorganized databases using search technology.

According to a Rueters article today, 85% of corporate data is unstructured information comprised of images, pictures, and disorganized documents. Google has taken notice that a solution to this problem could be a huge business. Indeed, leading enterprise search companies such as Fast Search and Transfer of Norway have paved the way for success in the market, which was estimated to be worth $1 million in 2005. Microsoft and IBM are said to be currently looking into enterprise search ventures themselves.

BearingPoint will give Google the ability to tailor their search engine to fit the needs of specific industries, such as pharmaceuticals, banking, brokerage, high-tech and aerospace. BearingPoint plans to train several hundred of its 3,000 technology specialists to work on Google search in 2006.
