CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - March 23, 2004 -- Endeca, the only provider of advanced search and Guided Navigation solutions, today announced that the company has been distinguished as one of most important companies in knowledge management by KMWorld magazine. Officially unveiled in the April 2004 issue of KMWorld magazine, the coveted KMWorld 100 is a meticulously selected list of the most influential and innovative companies in the knowledge management, content management and document management space. This marks Endeca's second consecutive year on the prestigious list.
"Just as in previous years, the list was conceived as a way to identify some of the organizations leading the way in the knowledge economy," said Hugh McKellar, editor-in-chief, KMWorld. "Criteria for inclusion varied, but all companies have things in common. Each has either helped to create a market, redefine one or enhance one, and they all share one thing--velocity of innovation."
"Advanced enterprise search has the potential to realize the ultimate promise of knowledge management: a single point for discovery and retrieval of information across the entire enterprise, regardless of format, structure or file type," said Jim Baum, COO and president of Endeca. "By providing solutions that help drive superior customer service, increase sales, boost operational efficiencies and cut costs, Endeca has helped dozens of public and private sector organizations implement and execute successful knowledge management initiatives.
