Endeca: Push into Education and Training

March 5, 2009

Endeca, http://www.endeca.com, is expanding its information access software business by connecting education and training customers with more specialized solutions. You can read the press release here. Solutions from Endeca Education Services here, include customized training curriculum served on site or online. The goal is to get pre-packaged, flexible solutions that speed up business performance to their customers in these trying economic times. Part of the attraction of Endeca’s expanded offerings is the ability to pre-purchase training at a discounted rate. There are a lot of information access companies in this industry, and education services are particularly dependent on critical technology. It’s a really good move on Endeca’s part to expand in that venue to tap so much opportunity. On the other hand, the shadows of Apple and Google have begun to creep into the education market. Excitement ahead in a large business sector perhaps?

    Stephen,

    I read the press release and I think you accidentally misinterpreted it. You take it to mean that Endeca is focusing on solutions for education and training companies. On careful reading, I take it to mean that are rolling out some new educational services offerings for their customers.

    While begging pardon for the commercial, if anyone got here because they are looking for information infrastructure for an education company, go check out Mark Logic. We are indeed focused on education companies and have folks like McGraw Hill and Cengage as customers.
