LucidWorks, a long-time industry leader in enterprise search, has changed the future yet again with their introduction of the Solr Marketplace. The Marketplace allows organizations to easily find and integrate pre-built add-ons into their open source infrastructure. All offerings are built on the trusted infrastructure of Apache Lucene Solr, so quality and usability are guaranteed. Read more of the exciting news in the article, “LucidWorks Creates Industry’s First Marketplace for Pre-built Application Add-ons to Enrich Solr Search.”
The piece begins:
“LucidWorks, the company transforming the way people access information, today announced the Solr Marketplace, the industry’s first marketplace for pre-built application add-ons that make it easier for organizations to integrate open source enterprise search capabilities into existing applications. The Solr apps and add-ons . . .T% allow Solr developers to extend the capabilities of their applications with ready to use and easy to deploy modules, apps and connectors . . . For a limited time, most of the app add-ons in the Solr Marketplace are available for a free download.”
An impressive list of partners contributing to the marketplace already includes Avalon Consulting, Basis Technology, Raytion, Smartlogic, and others. Stay tuned for more partners as they are added. As was mentioned, most current offerings are free for a limited time. The Marketplace had 35 apps available upon launch but keep an eye out, as that number will likely grow as well. What sets LucidWorks apart is its ability to see where the market is headed, and innovate proactively. While others are too busy playing catch up, LucidWorks is just getting started crafting the future.
