Who Is Who in the Chase for US Govt Information Work

August 26, 2009

I was poking around for information on the Teradata technology and I read “An Important Benchmark for Federal Knowledge Management”. The most important items in the write up were this check list of vendors chasing Federal projects. Here’s the list, “Cognos [now IBM], Business Objects [now SAP], MicroStrategy Autonomy, Blackboard, Vivisimo [a search vendor], Hummingbird [a unit of Open Text], Informatica, Tomoye [social software], Concept Searching, Elsevier [sci tech publisher], SER [Brainware?], Interwoven [now Autonomy], Fig Leaf Software [training company], Mark Logic, TIBCO [plumbing and infrastructure], Vignette [now Open Text], Convera, Factiva [now Dow Jones], Inxight [same as Business Objects now], Ascential, First Logic, Stratify, MetaCarta [mapping with In-Q-Tel backing], Trillium, Hyperion, Teradata, [and] Attensity.” Several of the names surprised me. For example, Covera. Another was Concept Searching, a company not in my files. Quite a list for a knowledge centric conference. Seems redundant and out of date yet the article published on BeyeNetwork has an August 18, 2009, date stamp. Explicit, accurate company identification is useful to me. Dr. Ramon Barquin and BeyeNetwork may have an alternative view.
