Posted on: Tuesday, 5 September 2006, 09:00 CDT

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Groxis, a leader in search visualization and discovery, today announced that Grokker ESM, its enterprise search management platform, has been named as a Trend-Setting Product of 2006 by KMWorld magazine. The complete list, recognizing innovative products making a significant impact in the marketplace, appears in the September issue of KMWorld magazine.

"Assembling the list of Trend-Setting Products of 2006 is a year-long collaborative effort with editorial colleagues and analysts and, especially, users," says Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor in chief. "Roughly 1,500 products from some 300 vendors were considered, and the ones listed here demonstrate exquisite execution designed for, and with input from, the most important constituency of them all -- their customers."

"We are delighted that Grokker ESM 2.0 has been recognized by KMWorld as an industry-leading innovation," said Brian Chadbourne, CEO of Groxis. "The challenges of conducting enterprise search successfully and efficiently continue to escalate, and Grokker ESM 2.0 delivers the outstanding capability to discover, isolate and leverage crucial knowledge insights from complex and diverse database environments."

Grokker ESM is a robust information management and research platform that simultaneously retrieves information from multiple sources, dynamically analyzes each returned document and presents results in a topically organized visual map or outline view. Grokker's concise visual presentation enables researchers to discover connections among data sources, explore previously underutilized resources, easily share results with others for collaborative learning, and come to a deeper understanding of the research topic.

"The enterprise deployment of Grokker within Sun has been a tremendous success," says Cindy Hill, Sun Microsystems, SunLibrary Manager. "The power of discovery is critical in an organization such as ours and Grokker provides the tools to enable technical and business intelligence across the right internal and external information sources."

Groxis was also recognized by KMWorld magazine earlier this year as one of the "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management".
