CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – January 7, 2001 – Endeca, creator of the Guided Navigation software platform, today released version 2.0 of the Endeca Navigation Engine™, Endeca`s core technology solution. Endeca solutions solve the business problems created by information overload and are designed for companies that need to integrate, organize and navigate enterprise data. The Endeca Navigation Engine allows users to experience an unparalleled ability to access, search and discover precisely what they need to find - fast - and to navigate large amounts of data in a highly interactive and refined way.
The Endeca Navigation Engine 2.0 adds advanced multi-dimensional analytics, robust dynamic merchandising, and massively scalable capabilities to its Guided Navigation information delivery platform. Endeca solutions are based on a breakthrough meta-relational indexing technology, offering users the fastest and most intuitive interaction with catalog, commerce and enterprise data available today. Endeca`s technology helps businesses across a variety of sectors like retail, financial services and business-to-business with applications for content and catalog management, business analytics and information access and delivery. The Endeca Navigation Engine 2.0 enables both enterprise and customer-facing applications that dramatically improve ease of interaction, quality of decision-making and overall business results.
"The Endeca Navigation Engine is a truly unique technology that revolutionizes the way users access data by allowing them to navigate across many dimensions and in any order they choose, helping them to find information based on all of the possible `right` answers in the dataset," explained Steve Papa founder and chief executive officer of Endeca. "The enhancements we have made now give businesses the ability to get fast, high-level, aggregate views of their data that help them discover behaviors and trends – valuable business analytics that support decision-makers and drive performance improvements."
New features in the Endeca Navigation Engine 2.0 include new advanced analytics modules that allow enterprises to calculate aggregate views of very large data sets that update instantly as users navigate, and then punch through to the individual underlying records. And new, massively scalable functionality enables the Endeca Navigation Engine to be distributed across low cost servers, allowing customers to combine multiple engines in a single unit that serves millions of records, thousands of dimensions, and millions of concurrent users.
The Endeca Navigation Engine 2.0 powers Endeca InFront™, Endeca`s product for commerce and catalog storefronts that provides sub-second response times and new dynamic merchandising capabilities that lets enterprises display targeted promotions to their shoppers while increasing their screen real estate by thousands of pages. The Endeca Navigation Engine also powers enterprise navigation and information delivery solutions inside the firewall, supporting applications such as CRM, research, account management and portal integration.
Today, the Endeca Navigation Engine and Endeca InFront are fully deployed at Tower Records (www.towerrecords.com) online video and DVD store. By combining the explicit personalization capabilities of dynamic navigation with contextual merchandising, Endeca is already delivering measurable conversion rates and gross margin increases.
The Endeca Navigation Engine 2.0 is the only technology of its kind on the market today. This solution enables users to navigate huge data sets within the parameters of the data so only relevant relationships and meaningful results are revealed and discovered – eliminating
the frustration, inefficiencies and waste caused by information overload. Endeca solutions unlock the value in enterprise data and help businesses increase productivity, make better and faster decisions, and improve overall employee and customer satisfaction.
