CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- January 16, 2007 -- Endeca, a next generation information access company, has been identified as one of 20 companies that will shake up the information and publishing industries in 2007, according to a new report from EPS, an Outsell, Inc. company. Endeca joins other rapid growth companies like Digg, Facebook, Mozilla FireFox, Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM), Second Life and YouTube (now owned by Google, NASDAQ: GOOG).
The second annual "20 to Watch" report from EPS shows who is presenting competition and threats to traditional companies' leadership, and how the landscape of information delivery continues to be rocked. Analysts from Outsell owned-EPS Ltd provide company information on each of these 20 organizations -- including their 2006 activities, 2007 plans, and industry impact.
"While content was king a few years ago, context now reigns supreme. The focus has shifted from building the largest collection of information to finding new ways to present it, explore it, share it, connect it, and act on it," said Steve Papa, CEO of Endeca. "The companies that get this -- and embrace it -- are poised to disrupt their markets by unlocking the latent value of their information investments."
With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 100 percent over the past five years, Endeca is one of the fastest growing software companies in the world. Endeca's customers include market leaders like Boeing, Cox Newspapers, The Guardian, Nike and Wal-Mart and government agencies like the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Library of Congress, and the National Cancer Institute. These organizations use Endeca's information access technology to power new classes of Web and enterprise information applications used by millions of users.
