CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- April 18, 2007 -- Endeca Technologies, Inc., an enterprise information access software company, today announced that it has been named a finalist for a Copernican Award. Awarded annually by Creative Good, a New York-based customer experience consultancy, The Copernican Awards recognize top companies and organizations that succeed by putting customers at the center of their "business universe." Endeca is a finalist, along side the NYTimes.com, Shutterfly, and Thomas Pink, in the $100+ million in revenue or budget category. Past winners included JetBlue, Netfix, Google and TiVo.
Creative Good CEO Phil Terry said, "Like the misguided early notion - debunked by Copernicus - that the universe revolves around the earth, many businesses today still think that they, not their customers, are at the center of the business universe. The Copernican Awards recognize companies that put customers first. Customer experience will be as important in the 21st century as advertising was in the 20th century."
"Endeca's clients turn to us when they need to deliver a compelling online customer experience that drives serious business value," said Blade Kotelly, Creative Director, User Experience, Worldwide for Endeca. "Because of our philosophy of innovation and our collaborative orientation we're uniquely positioned to influence both the product direction and the deployment best practices to target our clients' unique needs."
The 2007 Copernican Award winners will be announced at the Rainbow Room in New York City on Wednesday, April 18, 2007.
