Vivisimo Sells 38 Licenses in Six Months
August 28, 2008
Autonomy may have to check its rear view mirror to see if Vivisimo’s Velocity is catching up with the Cambridge, UK, search firm. Marketwatch here on August 27, 2008, reported
Demonstrating continued sales growth, Vivisimo sold a record 38 software licenses for its Velocity Search Platform(TM) during the first half of 2008, up 27 percent over the same period a year ago. In addition, deployments of Velocity through OEM relationships continued to accelerate in the first half of 2008, growing to more than 900 organizations using Vivisimo’s search platform. Vivisimo also signed seven new reselling and consulting partnerships. The growth continued Vivisimo’s expansion into international markets, with partnerships added in northern and southern Europe and Latin America. Among the new partnerships is Kisiwa Technologies SRL in Italy, which produced a number of Vivisimo search deployments within the Italian government.
A number of search vendors seem to have found rough financial waters in the first half of 2008. For example, one mid sized European vendor may have folded its tent and retired from the field of battle. Another outfit has repositioned its search technology as a utility service. One vendor has been generating a flow of good news press releases. Autonomy reported strong quaterly earnings and now Vivisimo (a privately held firm) seems to have cracked the code on closing six deals a month, a remarkable number.
What’s Vivisimo’s secret? Marketwatch quotes Vivisimo saying:
We help our customers maximize the business value of their information by using sophisticated search and discovery to drive collaboration and innovation throughout their organizations.
I hope the Vivisimo powered USA.gov removes its limit on the number of images accessible from this service. I can’t get at Library of Congress images. The “business value” of this important service would be enhanced without this arbitrary limit.
Do you think there’s a secret ingredient at Vivisimo that the other vendors lack? Share your thoughts.

[…] done right, la baseline de Vivisimo, est peut être son secret de fabrication, que certains cherchent déjà … et au delà de la recherche qui doit avoir réponse mais qui doit aussi permettre de faire […]
Impressive numbers indeed.
Could you be more specific about:
“…one mid sized European vendor may have folded its tent and retired from the field of battle. Another outfit has repositioned its search technology as a utility service. One vendor has been generating a flow of good news press releases.”?
Thanks.
Otis,
Yes, I am able to be much more specific. No, I cannot put certain information in my Web log diary. My for fee customers get substance, not the quackery in this blog.

[…] even though there are money of trading, you will do well to take those charts of a reality as well. Try the name. It’s trading. Demos I think it is best to start out on The original television […]
Not entirely sure Autonomy needs to be looking in its rear view mirror. Judging by their recent growth and huge revenues.
