Endeca, the leading provider of Guided Navigation®, Search and Analysis solutions announced today it has signed a deal with In-Q-Tel to introduce Endeca’s next-generation enterprise search and navigation technology to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

The deal is the latest with In-Q-Tel, a private, independent, not-for-profit venture group established by the Central Intelligence Agency. The search and navigation solution is part of Endeca’s recently announced Government Search and Analysis Solutions.

“This represents In-Q-Tel’s first program with our new partners at the Defense Intelligence Agency,” said Gilman Louie, President and CEO of In-Q-Tel. “Today In-Q-Tel is working with multiple organizations in the IC.
