LucidWorks Remains Focused on Good Data
December 7, 2012
After undergoing a recent name change in the early fall, some might wonder about LucidWorks’ strategy and identity going forward. Jeff Kelly addresses that just that question in, “LucidWorks Changes Name, But Remains Focused on Data-Centric Applications,” on DevelopsAngle.
Kelly begins:
“LucidWorks recently changed its name (from Lucid Imagination), but the Redwood City, Calif.-based company remains laser focused on delivering powerful data-centric application development platforms. In fact, the company streamlined its product offerings, eliminating multiple community and enterprise editions to focus on just two core products: LucidWorks Search and LucidWorks Big Data. Both the name and product changes are meant to reduce confusion and reiterate the company’s core mission – helping enterprises and developers build powerful and scalable data-focused applications, CEO Paul Doscher told me in a recent conversation.”
Kelly goes on to relay his discussion with Doscher and major ideas that emerged from that session. Among them is a discussion of how foundational technologies are not a means unto themselves. Rather, Kelly calls them “enablers.” However, it is the role of companies like LucidWorks to step in and fill the gap, taking these enabling technologies and allowing individuals and organizations to derive real value from them by making them accessible, intuitive, and supported. That is, in our opinion, LucidWorks’ greatest achievement.
