About Endeca

The Leader in Search Applications

Endeca is a search applications company. The company was founded to deliver software that helps people make better daily decisions from large volumes of diverse and changing information. For eCommerce or media websites, Endeca’s software helps your customers find what they are looking for faster and make better buying choices, thus increasing your revenue. And for search applications inside a company, Endeca helps your employees make better decisions, thus reducing your costs and improving productivity.

As the volume and complexity of data explodes, IT investments like traditional search and business intelligence/reporting tools aren’t enough to help customers and employees make the best-informed decisions. Difficulties in getting at the information and making use of it still stand in the way, and this adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars in foregone revenue or unnecessary costs. Endeca - whose name derives from the German word entdecken ("to discover") - has pioneered new software that enables your users to not only easily find what they are looking for, but also to discover information, insights, and relationships across data which they need but did not know was available.

Our search applications are powered by Endeca's Information Access Platform, a major enterprise search innovation on an advanced architecture for building high-ROI applications that let users 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 users through asking and answering any question, a flexible data model that offers 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 tailored search applications at lower total cost of ownership and faster time-to-value than any other approach.

Search applications built on Endeca's technology give your customers and employees the clearest visibility into information, driving hundreds of millions of dollars in cost savings and increased revenue. More than 250 million end users around the world access information through Endeca solutions, which are in use at over 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.
