Cambridge, Massachusetts - (Website Hosting Directory) - June 23, 2006 -
Forrester Research, Inc., has recognized search and information access company, Endeca, as a leader in enterprise search platforms. According to the new Forrester Wave: Enterprise Search Platforms, Q2 2006, Endeca ranked as a leader based on its current offering, the Endeca Information Access Platform (IAP), as well as for company strategy, and market presence.
In the report, the lead author, Matt Brown, reported that, ''Endeca has a winning product, comparing very well across important categories. It offers extremely strong, business friendly tools for understanding and managing all aspects of the search process, and, as a result, many companies that first used Endeca for online retail applications are now bringing the product behind the firewall to power internal enterprise search applications.''
The comprehensive report that evaluated eight vendors found that Endeca received top scores in current offering, administration and security, core technology architecture, and corporate strategy. Specifically, Endeca was cited for its easy-to-use management tool kit which Forrester reported was ''unparalleled in the market.''
In an accompanying vendor summary report, Mr. Brown cited, ''most importantly, customers report that Endeca is a pleasure to do business with and recount positive results from large-scale Endeca installations.''
Adam Ferrari, Chief Technology Officer at Endeca explained, ''New innovations in this market, like those that underpin the Endeca Information Access Platform, are expanding the definition of enterprise search technology, and are poised to disrupt more mature information access markets such as business intelligence and reporting. Endeca's meta-relational architecture, designed around an advanced core of data-driven interactive information access and analysis capabilities, has enabled us to deliver a rich set of application development and management tools - recognized by Forrester as key differentiators - making it possible for our clients to rapidly deploy new classes of applications that push the very definition of search and information access.''

According to the company, the latter is made possible through Endeca's patented meta-relational architecture, powered MDEX Engine technology. As a result organizations can support and improve critical business processes in ways not possible with traditional search, database and BI solutions.
