PolySpot Secures Investment

September 15, 2011

Polyspot, based in Paris, is a specialist enterprise search solution vendor. I learned of the two million euro infusion of capital in the announcement “PolySpot Raises €2 Million from Newfund to Boost its Growth.” The write up said:

PolySpot’s enterprise search solutions are the result of over 10 years of research and development, featuring a highly innovative architecture and technologies (including Apache/Lucene indexing library and Apache/Solr search service). As a result, PolySpot is able to offer open, functionally rich and highly competitive solutions that are used by major accounts across all sectors, including BNP-Paribas, Crédit Agricole SA, Bureau-Veritas, Veolia, Vinci or Schlumberger. Building on this success, PolySpot is now using this fund-raising round to move to the next level and boost its international business in the coming months. This fund-raising is part of an intensive work that began with the arrival of Gilles André (the figure behind success stories such as Leonard’s Logic and Augure) as the company’s new Managing Director and the appointment of David Fischer as head of R&D in 2010.

If you are not familiar with the firm, Polyspot is pushing forward with integrated information solutions. Founded in 2001, PolySpot designs and sells search and information access solutions designed to improve business efficiency in an environment where data volumes are increasing at an exponential rate. PolySpot’s solutions offer built in connectivity to most file types and file systems. The firm’s solutions are based on an innovative infrastructure offering both versatility and high performance at a competitive price point. The firm’s solutions are in use at such organizations as Allianz, BNP Paribas, Bureau Veritas, Crédit Agricole, OSEO, Schlumberger, Veolia, Trinity Mirror and Vinci.
