Vivisimo Named to KMWorld’s 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management

Vivisimo Makes KMWorld’s 100 Company List for 7th Consecutive Year

Pittsburgh, PA — Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), a leader in enterprise search, has been named one of KMWorld’s “100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management,” an annual list published by KMWorld (kmworld.com). This is the eighth year of the list and the seventh consecutive year Vivisimo has earned a place on it.

“Each company on KMWorld’s 100 Companies that Matter list embodies as part of its culture agile and limber execution of its mission, embracing a spirit of both adaptability and innovation,” said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor in chief.

The recognition by KMWorld caps a year of strong performance for Vivisimo.  The privately-held enterprise search developer continued to win new customers; it closed on its first round of financing in eight years of growth; and continued product innovation with the Velocity Search Platform 7.0™, Velocity for OEM and the Velocity Discovery Module™. 

Velocity 7.0 followed Vivisimo’s industry-leading social search with conceptual search, including a new interface that gives users explicit control to fine tune queries and personalize search to meet specific information goals. Velocity for OEM leveraged the platform’s superior architecture into a modular design for deployment in different markets and applications. The Velocity Discovery Module enables auto-classification, express tagging and export of documents in their native formats for fast and easy sharing of large numbers of documents.

“Vivisimo is one of the companies that exemplifies the performance necessary for consideration for KMWorld’s list of 100 Companies that Matter,” said McKellar. “The fact that Vivisimo has been listed seven straight times illustrates tenacity and focus—traits that also reflect the continued growth and evolution of our industry into critical strategic and operational functions.”

The 100 Companies that Matter list is compiled by KM practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors and their customers and colleagues.

“Vivisimo’s inclusion in KMWorld’s 100 Companies that Matter is testament to our customers’ confidence in our ability to help them extract business value from their corporate information,” said Raul Valdes-Perez, CEO of Vivisimo.  “Vivisimo’s making KMWorld’s list for the seventh time also recognizes the outstanding performance and dedication of our people, whose singular focus on satisfying customer requirements is becoming an industry legend.”
