CAMBRIDGE, Mass.,December 5, 2006 -- Endeca, a next-generation information access company, has been honored as a 2006 EContent 100 Company. The prestigious distinction is bestowed upon the 100 most influential and innovative companies in the digital content industry, as selected by EContent magazine's expert editorial staff. Endeca has been honored on the EContent 100 for five consecutive years.
"The EContent 100 is designed to provide information and content professionals with a shortlist of companies that consistently deliver proven, best-in-class solutions," said Michelle Manafy, editor of EContent. "As the sheer volume of digital content continues to grow exponentially, there will be increasing demand for innovative providers like Endeca to help organizations quickly turn mountains of data into specific, actionable information."
The Endeca Information Access Platform unites disparate data and content, while providing benefits that extend far beyond integration and information access approaches like enterprise search, portals, relational databases, and data warehouses. It gives businesses the ability to rapidly deploy Web and enterprise applications that combine user-friendly tools like search, navigation, visualization and analysis into a seamless, interactive user experience. And, representative of a growing trend towards unified information access, it offers businesses new capabilities to combine highly structured data from multiple enterprise applications (e.g. BI, CRM, ERP, PLM, SFA, etc.) with semi-structured and unstructured content assets from other key enterprise systems (e.g. file servers, email, enterprise content management, Web sites, etc.).
"It is an honor to be recognized by EContent as a leader in the digital content industry," said Steve Papa, chief executive officer of Endeca. "The key to the rapid and continued success of Endeca in this market has been the transformational nature of our approach, and the growing interest in information access as the next step beyond earlier search and database approaches to accessing, analyzing and acting upon valuable information."
The EContent 100 list is available in the December print issue of the magazine and online at www.econtentmag.com.
