Vivisimo Named as KMWorld Trend-Setter
Award-Winning Company Honored Again for Innovative Technology
Pittsburgh, PA—Vivisimo (www.vivisimo.com), the leading provider of intelligent clustering, search and metasearch software for organizing search results, has been named as one of KMWorld's Trend-Setters for innovative products. KMWorld editors, with the input of knowledge workers, analysts and product users, compiled the 2005 list to recognize companies with the most innovative approach to knowledge management.
"As was the case last year, we evaluated more than 200 vendors, whose combined offerings top the 1,200 mark. It bears mentioning that these are not the only trend-setting products on the market today, rather they are the ones upon which our panel agreed," said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor-in-chief. "And just what were the criteria for selection? As we have in years past we considered usability, flexibility, adoption rate and total cost of ownership. And we also recognized some vendors for their vision toward the future or for a collection of offerings, rather than a specific product or compelling new version of an existing one."
Vivisimo provides comprehensive solutions for both consumer and enterprise search. The company's latest enterprise offering, Vivisimo Velocity, integrates its flagship Clustering Engine with search and metasearch software in one all-inclusive solution. For consumers, www.clusty.com offers a dedicated search site for clustering Web search results as well as news, shopping, images, blogs, gossip and Wikipedia.
"Vivisimo is working to change the world of search with its innovative clustering technology that alleviates the problem of information overload," said Raul Valdes-Perez, CEO and co-founder of Vivisimo. "Being named a KMWorld Trend-Setter is another great validation of our work in the search market and the problem we are solving. This award adds to the overwhelming positive response we have had to our products and technology."
The KMWorld honor is just the latest example of industry praise and recognition for Vivisimo. The company was also named a KM Promise Award finalist; elected as one of KMWorld's 2004 "100 Companies that Matter"; chosen as a 2005 Red Herring 100 finalist; cited to the 2004 EContent 100; selected as "Analyst's Choice" by eWeek and designated as a "Cool Vendor" by Gartner. The company's consumer search engine, Clusty, was lauded as one of Time's 50 Coolest Web Sites of 2005; voted one of PC Magazine's Top 100 Web Sites and called the "Second most popular search engine on the Web" by About.com.
