Endeca Relaxes at Land O Lakes
March 6, 2011
Endeca will have a small working vacation in the Land O’ Lakes Company with their new partner Winfield Solution. Live PR has the itinerary, “Winfield Solutions, a Land O’Lakes Company, Selects Endeca.” Winfield Solutions will use Endeca Latitude to support an initiative program to give co-op members enhanced insights and analytical capabilities in agricultural markets. Land O’Lakes providers its customers with crop nutrient, seed, and crop protection products. The story said:
“The data from the numerous resources we utilize is too complex to model and maintain in a relational database,” said Mike Macrie, senior director of IT at Land O´Lakes. “In addition, it was impossible to predetermine all the questions or requirements our partners would need to address for their analyses. We needed a solution that could unify disparate and varied data sources while providing an easy-to-use interface for our partners. Endeca addressed the shortcomings associated with traditional data warehousing alternatives.”
Endeca will enable Winfield Solutions to integrate and process its data across multiple systems without having to refer to the IT department. The data streamlining will also speed up departmental decisions. Looks like Endeca has long vacation ahead of itself, hopefully it won’t get sunburned on the lake.
