What Is Better Than One Logic? Two Logics?
December 22, 2021
Search, database, intelligence, data management and analytics firm MarkLogic continues to evolve and grow. Business Wire reveals, “MarkLogic Acquires Leading Metadata Management Provider Smartlogic.” Good choice—we have found Smartlogic to be innovative, reliable, and responsive. We expect MarkLogic will be able to preserve these characteristics, considering Smartlogic’s top brass will be sticking around. The press release tells us:
“As part of the transaction, Smartlogic’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, Jeremy Bentley, as well as other members of the senior management team, will join the MarkLogic executive team. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Founded in 2006, Smartlogic has deciphered, filtered, and connected data for many of the world’s largest organizations to help solve their complex data problems. Global organizations in the energy, healthcare, life sciences, financial services, government and intelligence, media and publishing, and high-tech manufacturing industries rely on Smartlogic’s metadata and AI platform every day to enrich enterprise information with context and meaning, as well as extract critical facts, entities, and relationships to power their businesses. For the past four years, Smartlogic has been recognized as a leader by Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Metadata Management Solutions and by Info-Tech as the preeminent leader of the Data Quadrant for Metadata Management (May 2021).”
Based in San Carlos, California, MarkLogic was founded in 2001 and gained steam in 2012 when it picked up former Oracle database division leader Gary Bloom. Smartlogic is headquartered in San Jose, less than 30 miles away. Perhaps MarkLogic’s XML with taxonomy management will triumph in more markets and bring the Oracle outfit to its knees? Perhaps index term management is the killer app?
