October 7, 2009
Cambridge, MA

Endeca,  an emerging leader in enterprise information access software and inventor of a  breakthrough process for information retrieval and discovery in large data  repositories, today announced the establishment of a strategic relationship  with In-Q-Tel, a private, non-profit enterprise funded by the Central  Intelligence Agency (CIA). In-Q-Tel's mission is to identify and collaborate  with companies developing cutting-edge information technologies that serve US  national security interests.

Endeca  and In-Q-Tel will work together to provide the government organizations with  software solutions that enable a new generation of information integration and  exploration. Endeca's ability to overcome the performance challenges associated  with huge volumes of raw data and distribute relevant search results securely  and rapidly are important factors in In-Q-Tel's decision to form a strategic  relationship with Endeca. By collaborating with In-Q-Tel on the development of  software that compresses the time between data acquisition and insight, Endeca  will help the capabilities available to Government analysts.

According  to Charles Battaglia, former staff director of the Senate Select Intelligence  Committee and member of Endeca's Government Advisory Council, "The Federal  government is investing in key information technologies that will improve  intelligence both here and overseas.  In-Q-Tel's relationship with Endeca is further evidence that Endeca's  unique approach to searching for and retrieving relevant information, which  Endeca terms Guided NavigationSM, is a powerful innovation that can help the  government better manage their information assets."

Gilman  Louie, CEO of In-Q-Tel, added, "The challenge of information overload is  not unique to the private sector. Endeca's search and navigation software will  help analysts work smarter and more productively. We see significant opportunities to extend  and apply their commercial technology in the pursuit of enhanced national  security."

Endeca  Search and Guided Navigation solutions help public and private sector companies  and organizations address the information overload problems associated with  enterprise, content, and catalog information access and retrieval. Endeca  solutions are built on innovative technology that makes it possible for the  first time to offer search and navigation on structured and unstructured  information with high performance, and low total cost of ownership, even at  massive scale.
