May 16, 2013
With the flood of interest in big data solutions and technology that can chop the masses of unstructured content down to size, we are also seeing much VC funding go towards startups in this area. Linux Today reports that “LucidWorks Pulls in $10M to Turn Open Source Data into ‘Business Gold’”
LucidWorks started as Lucid Imagination in 2008 and focused on provided support, training and consulting for open source search technologies Lucene and Solr. Opportunity arose when the company saw a need for open source search to become more accessible by entering into the big data market.
Providing a quick rundown on LucidWorks current technology offerings, the article tells us:
“LucidWorks product suite contains two development platforms that enable organizations to search, discover, and analyze their data. LucidWorks Search is built on top of Apache Lucene/Solr open-source search project and seeks to simplify and improve the process of building embedded search applications. The other product, LucidWorks Big Data, then helps businesses make sense of the data.”
We have been following LucidWorks since before their name changed and their exciting news comes as no surprise. As one of the leaders in open source enterprise search technology they will undoubtedly remain one of the top on our list to follow.
