Exorbyte Pivots and Slows Twitter Stream
April 16, 2015
I was doing a routine check of search vendor Web sites. I noticed that Exorbyte, a search vendor recognized as a Deloitte Technology Fast 50 company in 2o10, has pivoted from eCommerce to identify resolution. What I find interesting is that there are some similarities with WCC Group’s strategy. That company focuses on the human resource and government approach to human information.
Here’s the new look for the Exorbyte Web site:
Exorbyte, like other search vendors, is responding to market signals for security related functions. Coincident with this shift, Exorbyte slowed its stream of Twitter posts. There is considerable chatter about smart software like IBM Watson (Thomas or Sherlock version?). Exorbyte is another example of a vendor with search as a core function and with a positioning that does not evoke the associations of European enterprise search vendors which have been a source of some consternation.
