The AMR Research Innovation Awards recognize software and business technology companies for ongoing innovation and continued market success. Winners are selected for demonstrating sustainable competitive advantage through the application of a business model not easily copied, trailblazing in a market or industry, addressing key business issues, spurring new business with the ability to uproot or overtake an existing market, and have significant customer traction. One winner is selected from each of three distinct revenue categories: under $10 million, $10 – $100 million, and more than $100 million.
Endeca offers a platform that can be used to power a wide variety of search and information access applications and solutions. Beyond simply a search engine, Endeca’s innovative core technology allows people to access and analyze disparate data and content from across the enterprise and the Internet in ways never before possible. As a result, users can more quickly and easily make confident, informed decisions that impact key business processes like procurement, strategic sourcing, regulatory compliance, customer service, project management, e-commerce, knowledge management and more. Endeca-powered solutions are already delivering substantial top line and operation benefits to 300 leading Global 2000 businesses, including Bank of America, The Home Depot, IBM, John Deere, Office Depot, and Wal-Mart.
"Typical of a business-to-business innovator, Endeca’s visibility is clearly on the rise amongst the industry watchers, tech visionaries and buyers, while remaining under the radar of main street observers," said Bruce Richardson, AMR Research senior vice president. "And that is one of the primary purposes of the AMR Innovation Award: Recognizing B2B innovators who possess the rare combination of vision, ingenuity and execution needed to fundamentally change a market and its impact on business."
"AMR Research has built a reputation as a trusted source for information and objective analysis on today’s most demanding business problems and the technologies available to address them," said Steve Papa, founder and chairman of Endeca. "Over the past few years, significant innovations in search and information access technology have led to an entire new class of business and customer applications – applications that are now solving long-standing technical and business challenges. The result has been a dramatic increase in the ROI realized from these applications and the rapid emergence of young, innovative companies supporting these growing markets. We are honored both to have been at the forefront of this change and to receive recognition from the leaders at AMR Research."
