LucidWorks Redesign Reflects Internal and External Success
September 18, 2013
LucidWorks has long been a leader in open source value-added enterprise solutions. One reason for their continued success is the ability to remain agile, and adjust to a changing market. LucidWorks is at it again with their latest redesign. At first glance, it is very noticeable from the outside – the LucidWorks Web site.
The design uses a slide show motif and a variation of the “card” approach to information presentation. Tasty stuff. See www.lucidworks.com
The new site looks great. Scrolling subject headings like “Big Data,” “eCommerce,” and “Knowledge Management” alert the user to the major areas where LucidWorks can make a big impact in the enterprise. Major business like Zappos and Sears are highlighted as Solr powered operations, the same open-source foundation that gives LucidWorks its abilities. User experience is front and center for the new Web layout.
However, the redesign is not just skin deep. LucidWorks Search 2.6 is the latest upgrade on the industry-standard product. The solution is built on Lucene/Solr 4.4 with REST APIs for schema definition and LucidWorks Flare to bring analytics to search results. And while LucidWorks Search and LucidWorks Big Data have been the bread and butter of the company for years, the LucidWorks Marketplace expands download ability into an app marketplace. Not only are partner products that run on Solr also available, but key components of the LucidWorks Search architecture are broken down into individualized downloads, allowing customers to obtain the specific components necessary for their customized architecture.
LucidWorks stays successful the company has been able to adapt to a changing market and giving customers what they need in a changing marketplace and information environment. The latest update by LucidWorks is just a reflection of management competence.
