LucidWorks Stories the Evolution of Big Data Search
May 16, 2013
Dan Kuznetsky is a trusted authority in enterprise search. He brings his expertise to the topic of search in Big Data in his latest article for ZDNet, “Evolution of Search in Big Data as Told by LucidWorks.”
After a discussion of how LucidWorks is contributing to the open source community through its participation in the Apache Software Foundation, Kuznetsky goes on to explore this interesting development model:
“LucidWorks is one of a growing number of technology companies that are building products based upon open-source software that was created in products hosted by the Apache Software Foundation. It is fascinating how they are cooperating to build the basic technology and then focusing on different competitive market niches. Each time I mentioned what I thought was a competitor, the folks from LucidWorks pointed out that those companies are partners that are trying to use their individual strengths together to serve the market. This is an area that is worth watching.”
Kuznetsky hit on the strength of LucidWorks and the rest of the value-added open source market. Innovation is encouraged, many benefit, but each company finds a niche that makes it profitable, but also useful. In this way, innovation is encouraged, open source development is encouraged, and users benefit from continuous improvement and support for the solutions in which they invest. Sounds like a win-win.
