MarkLogic and Smartlogic Join Forces, Will Sales Follow?
December 29, 2014
The article titled MarkLogic Recognizes Smartlogic with Partner Excellence Award on Smartlogic reveals the work the two companies are doing together. Jeremy Bentley, CEO of Smartlogic, suggests in the article that while MarkLogic contributes data management, Smartlogic offers superior content analysis. The combination of these inputs is good for the clients in terms of better, more informed decisions, and the formation of new revenue streams. The article states,
“These organizations are bringing the power of the Semantic Web in-house, while freeing themselves of the restrictions of relational databases and the costs of implementing new schemas. They are securing competitive advantage by automating content intensive manual processes, getting to market quickly with new products, finding insights into the business, unearthing archived knowledge, and building applications more quickly – all by accessing different types of information spread across the organization in different formats and disparate repositories with one query.”
In sum, let there be synergies! The question on the minds of both organizations (and their clients) must be, will sales follow? This much remains to be seen. But with the two companies integrating their product plans, it is assumed that efficiency and flexibility will be improved, leading to an better ability to meet the needs of modern businesses.
