Oracle Acquires Endeca

By Jyothi Shanbhag, TMCnet Contributor


Oracle (News - Alert) has announced its plans to acquire privately-held Endeca Technologies,Inc., based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.


Endeca has been offering unstructured data management, web commerce and business intelligence solutions, that help companies to analyze unstructured data, gain better business intelligence, and deliver a superior customer experience.

Steve Papa, CEO of Endeca said that, “With more than 600 customers relying on Endeca's solutions to deploy unified platforms for search, guided navigation, merchandising and interactive analytics of unstructured data, Endeca is recognized for its unique approach in hybrid search-analytical technology on diverse and changing information.”

Papa said that they bring successful deployments with large enterprises in key industries such as retail, distribution, media and publishing, government, and manufacturing and consumer packaged goods and many of these customers are also Oracle customers.

This new merger is expected to bring about changes by creating a comprehensive technology platform to process, store, manage, search and analyze structured and unstructured information together. The combination of Oracle ATG (News - Alert) Commerce and Endeca InFront will also enhance cross-channel commerce, merchandising, and online customer experiences.

Also, Oracle Business Intelligence and Endeca Latitude is expected to provide a comprehensive business intelligence foundation and analytic applications, bringing together information from structured and unstructured data sources.

“The combination of Oracle and Endeca is extremely compelling in this changing data environment,” said Thomas Kurian, executive vice president of Oracle Development.

Kurian said that together, they will provide best-in-class technology to manage structured and unstructured data together; business intelligence tools to analyze structured and unstructured data together; and a broad suite of packaged applications which extends the value of unstructured data into ERP, Supply Chain, CRM, EPM, Web Commerce, and specialized applications.

He said that this technology will also allow them to integrate more comprehensive unstructured data management into Oracle's engineered systems.
