Vivísimo Once Again Named to KMWorld's list of 100 'Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management'
Leader in Enterprise Search Makes KMWorld's Annual List for the Sixth Year in a Row
Pittsburgh, PA—Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), a leading provider of enterprise search software and expertise, today announced that it has once again been named as one of the 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management, according to an annual list compiled by KMWorld (www.kmworld.com). Published in the March 2008 issue, the list is compiled by KM practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors and their customers. This marks the sixth year in a row that Vivisimo has earned this recognition.
“We have long held that the true essence of knowledge management is an attitude, a single-minded commitment to improvement,” said Hugh McKellar, editor-in-chief of KMWorld. “And companies on our list simply must emphasize an abiding determination to serve their most important constituency: their customers. They must also show agile innovation combined with a full understanding of the forces that affect, and will affect, their customers.”
The KMWorld listing continues Vivisimo’s momentum after the company reported a banner year in 2007 highlighted by the launch of Velocity 6.0, the first major enterprise search platform to bring business-ready Web 2.0 functionalities, such as social tagging, social bookmarking, social networking and mash-ups to the market and the introduction of Velocity for Mobile, an extension to the Vivisimo enterprise search platform that allows mobile workers to access and search corporate intranets, email and other applications from smartphones and other mobile devices.
“It’s a true testament to the continued development of our brand and our innovative approach to enterprise search to be recognized by KMWorld for the sixth year in a row,” said Raul Valdes-Perez, CEO and co-founder of Vivisimo. “As the demand for enterprise search continues to grow, we at Vivisimo will persist in bringing unique capabilities to market that empower users to discover, enrich and share information.”
