This success spans a wide range of industries with both new and existing customers, including Aramark, Australia Department of Justice, B&H Photo, eHealth Ontario, John F.

Search and BI Pioneer Continues to Innovate
Last October, Endeca launched Endeca Latitude to bring consumer ease of use and agile delivery to enterprise information workers struggling to gain control of an explosive volume and variety of data. This innovative data analysis platform is powered by the industry’s first hybrid search-analytical database for BI, which combines the scalability of columnar data storage with the performance of in-memory analytics to enable speed-of-thought search and aggregation of complex data brought together from inside or outside the company, static or frequently changing.
Consistent with Endeca’s leadership and innovation in the global eBusiness market, in 2010 the company also introduced Endeca Mobile Commerce, Multichannel Commerce with hybris, and the Endeca Commerce Suite. Together, these products and enhancements are enabling customers to create industry-leading commerce applications that reach consumers anywhere, and at any time.

Endeca is also engaged in key strategic partnerships focused on extending the value of its product offerings. Endeca is building on established relationships with key partners Informatica Corporation and SAP AG. Last October, the company partnered with MeLLmo, a leader in innovative mobile apps, to deliver new mobile BI applications that enable in-the-moment, on-the-go decision-making. Endeca has also partnered with hybris, bringing together Endeca's industry-leading user experience and contextual merchandising capabilities with the configurable hybris eCommerce Platform and built-in Product Content Management (PCM) system.
