X1 Asserts That It Sets the Standard for Enterprise Search
October 30, 2015
I read “A Series of Firsts: How X1 Sets the Standard for the New Enterprise Search Market.” I am interested in firsts. I like a series of first even more.
According to the write up the first first is:
X1 is ready for the IT reality of always-on, virtual, cloud, and hybrid environments and business mobility. This is evidenced by two “firsts” that X1 is proud to announce. First, X1 is the first search application with an app publicly available in an Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) app store.
The second first is:
The second “first” that X1 is proud of is the listing of X1 Rapid Discovery in the Amazon AWS Marketplace. Again, this is no small feat – this is the first enterprise-grade search and eDiscovery application to be available in the AWS Marketplace.
The article points out:
X1 will continue to provide solutions that work in the infrastructures that organizations utilize today. The traditional approach to search will not work, but with X1, companies will have the flexibility to deploy into any environment and give users a powerful search experience on any device. That is a powerful productivity tool – and businesses require worker productivity the same way humans require oxygen. It is a new enterprise search market out there and X1 is uniquely positioned to lead the charge.
According to Crunchbase, X1 was founded in 2003 and has received $12.2 million in three rounds from several investors. If you search for the company, be aware that hits may be returned to the X1 platform by Xfinity, which is an interactive TV system. There is a company offering the X1 orgasmatron. I also spotted links to the Bell aircraft labeled X-1.
Vendors of search and content processing systems may want to attend to making certain that a query for “X1 search” returns links to their brand. I have noted that a number of search vendors have lost control of their “name”; for example, Thunderstone and Smartlogic, to name two.
To locate X1, the search and discovery outfit, navigate to www. x1.com. Web searches can offer some first hand discovery excitement to the uninformed.
