LucidWorks Receives Top Honors from Gartner
May 6, 2013
In the world of information technology, Gartner is the standard in quality IT research and advisory. Their ranking and awards truly mean something to others in the industry. For this reason, when LucidWorks received their latest commendation from Gartner, people paid attention. Read the full report in the article, “LucidWorks Positioned in the ‘Challengers’ Quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Search.”
The report begins:
‘”The LucidWorks product suite transforms the technical and distribution innovations of open source into a cost-effective, commercial-grade solution for building the next generation of business-critical applications,’ said Paul Doscher , president and CEO of LucidWorks. ‘We believe that being named in the ‘Challengers’ quadrant of the Gartner Enterprise Search Magic Quadrant validates the capabilities and flexibility of our existing suite and the business and product roadmaps we are implementing.’”
This is the first ranking of the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Search by Gartner. Google, Oracle, and Microsoft were listed as the only three in the “leaders” ranking. The significance of being named as a challenger is that LucidWorks is in a strong enough position to join those big names at the top of the list in the near future. With their investment in a strong open source infrastructure, and their eye toward innovation, LucidWorks will be in the leader category very soon.
