The future of information access

Endeca was founded in 1999 to solve a long-standing class of business problems that stem from information overload. Information is your most valuable resource, and the changing ways people use information today means you must now embrace a shifting paradigm of how we access and interact with data.

As the volume of data explodes, despite IT investments in traditional search and a range of other systems, your customers and employees frequently still cannot make the best-informed decisions because of difficulties getting at the information they need and making use of it. This adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars in increased costs and foregone revenue. Endeca - whose company name derives from the German word entdecken ("to discover") - has pioneered new software that enables users to not only easily find what they are looking for, but also to discover insights, information, and relationships across data they never knew existed along the way.

Our search applications are powered by Endeca's Information Access Platform^TM, a major enterprise search innovation on an advanced architecture for building high-ROI applications that let any user find any kind of data from anywhere, any way they need it. Encompassing many analytic features common in business intelligence, these applications return much more than just a list of query results - they solve specific business problems with a unique combination of advanced query capabilities that guide any user through asking and answering any question, a flexible data model that offers you unprecedented ease in exploring data of all structures and formats, and a software development kit (SDK) for search applications that makes it easy to build your own tailored search applications at dramatically lower total cost of ownership and faster time-to-value vs any other approach.

Search applications built on Endeca's technology deliver the clearest visibility into information, driving hundreds of millions of dollars in cost savings and increased revenue for our customers. More than 250 million end users around the world access information through Endeca solutions, which are in use at more than 600 leading organizations including: ABN AMRO, Boeing, Cox Newspapers, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, Ford Motor Company, Hyatt, IBM, John Deere, the Library of Congress, Texas Instruments, and Walmart.com. Endeca is also recognized as a category leader by Gartner, Forrester, and other industry analysts.
