Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
ORLANDO, Fla., GARTNER SYMPOSIUM/ITxpo, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- X1
Technologies, a leader in enterprise desktop search, today announced from
Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2006 that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc.
in the visionaries quadrant in the 2006 Information Access Technology Magic
Quadrant'(i) report.
According to Gartner, they "consider all enterprise search vendors to
be information access technology vendors; however, those that only offer
search capabilities (frequently called "keyword search") are inherently not
Visionaries or candidates for the Leaders quadrant. Finding information,
and acting on it intelligently, demands increasingly sophisticated and
innovative strategies."
"We consider our positioning in the visionaries quadrant by Gartner as
further confirmation of both our strategic vision and our ability to
deliver a secure, scalable and open solution that brings unified actionable
search to the business environment for access to all relevant corporate
data," said Josh Jacobs, president of X1 Technologies. "This year has
brought us continued success in all components of our business -- financial
performance, customer sales and deployments, technology innovation and
partnership expansion."
The X1 Enterprise Platform brings enterprise desktop search technology
to the business environment for access to all information whether it
resides on the desktop or across the corporate network. X1 can be managed,
deployed and extended across the enterprise while retaining the
scalability, performance and security required in business today.
