MarkLogic: The Door Revolves
May 17, 2012
MarkLogic hit $55 or $60 million. Not good enough. Exit one CEO; enter an Autodesk exec. Hit $100 million. Not good enough. Enter a new CEO. Navigate to “Former senior Oracle exec Gary Bloom named CEO of Mark Logic.” The new CEO is either going to grow the outfit or get it sold if I understand the write up. Here’s a passage which caught my attention:
Gary Bloom has been named CEO of Mark Logic, which returns him to his database roots.
According to MarkLogic’s Web page, the company is:
an enterprise software company powering over 500 of the world’s most critical Big Data Applications with the first operational database technology capable of handling any data, at any volume, in any structure.
However, I can download a search road map. Hmmm. I thought search was dead. Well big data search is where the action is. MarkLogic is pushing forward with its XML data management system.
