Exalead Named KMWorld Trend-Setting Product of the Year

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - August 26, 2008) - Exalead, a global leader of search software for business and the web, today announced that its Exalead one:search search solution has been awarded KMWorld's Trend-Setting Product of the Year for the third year in a row.

Each year, KMWorld compiles a list of trend-setting products in several categories based on perspective from and criteria determined by editorial colleagues, analysts, integrators, and a select group of users. Criteria used to choose which products will populate the list include customer service and product features, functionality and efficiency.

"This year, we are seeing certain enterprise search vendors break from the pack as they unleash new ways to search structured and unstructured data -- empowering enterprises to make faster, better decisions with information they didn't have access to before," said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor in chief. "For the third year, Exalead's solution has impressed us with its capability for speedy and effective information retrieval and data refinement. The company's innovative approach to search is both what brings value to its customers and what keeps it on our judges' radar year after year."
