The Sinequa Shuffle
January 25, 2011
According to some French news reports from ITRnews.com and Channelnews.com, as of December 31, 2010 Sinequa president Jean Ferré has stepped up or aside to make way for Alexandre Bilger. Bilger, who has served as Product Architect and company Co-Director since 2004, is now tasked with driving a “focus on the operational development of its turnover while maintaining its lead in the technological and functional.”
Although Ferré is leaving after a five year reign marked with success, he won’t be going too far. The former CEO will retain a seat as Vice-Chairman while at the same time lingering as a shareholder. Bilger will be trading in some of his duties on the technical side in an effort to spend more time with customers and partners. All in all, most seem to agree this is a win-win situation.
Sinequa provides business search for companies with a plethora of data sources and complex security and connectivity issues. This firm seeks to refine enterprise search methods while cutting down on required infrastructure. Sinequa’s technology solutions can be seen across several legs of industry, including banking, consulting, consumer products, government, media, telco, manufacturing and retail per the establishment’s website.

Hi Sarah,
it’s great to see that you guys at Beyond Search actually spare some words for this Enterprise Search Vendor. We deploy their engine at Siemens and are extremely pleased with both perfomance and scalability as well as the plentitude of content connectors that ship with the product. Moreover, there’s actually a lot of buzz about real-time search, and from our experience, this product actually delivers it. There’s a lot more praise that I could add here…
My suggestion: you may want to reconsider the “two geese” rating that you give Sinequa in your Overflight evaluation. I think you definitely undervalue this vendor.

Joachim Wermter,
Thanks for writing. The geese rating is indicative. Sinequa has some marketing work to do in the US. Perhaps the new management will communicate to the North American market more effectively.
