More on Exalead Please
August 27, 2012
On the Q2 Dassault conference call, there was a brief mention of one of our favorite companies, Exalead. Seaking Alpha serves up the conversation in “Dassault Systemes’ CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results (Afternoon Call)- Earnings Call Transcript.”
We have long been interested in Exalead, and applauded Dassault’s decision purchase the business and invest resources in expanding it, rather than simply licensing its technology. So, how have things been going? When Dessault president and CEO Bernard Charles was asked about any general plans to provide a lifecycle management solution, he noted in part:
“. . . there is one thing we are doing in a completely different way maybe you have heard about it so I want to connect this to that point. We are now providing extremely innovative spare part management systems which are based on completely revolutionary platform using EXALEAD which has proven to provide amazing results that are very different from traditional implementation of spare parts systems potential available or proximities to talk about it. Jay? Next question?”
Wait, next question? But we want to know more! Oh, well. Not much discussion about Exalead, I’m afraid. Perhaps next quarter.
Exalead was founded in 2000 and purchased by engineering powerhouse Dassault in 2010. Exalead’s CloudView platform is uniquely capable of seamlessly integrating structured and unstructured data. We find their approach to be stable, offering platform flexibility, mobile search, and mash-ups. Oh, and their solutions are more affordable than much of the competition.
