Endeca Announces the Endeca Manufacturing Suite to Improve Quality and Cut Costs Across the Value Chain

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 28, 2009 Endeca Technologies, Inc., a search applications company, announced today the availability of the Endeca Manufacturing Suite, providing manufacturers with visibility that reduces risk and cost, and increases product quality by enhancing decision-making across the supply chain. Endeca also announced today the availability of Design for Supply 2.0, one of the search applications in the Manufacturing Suite. Design for Supply 2.0 helps global engineering and sourcing departments to better collaborate when choosing optimal parts for a new design to improve upstream part selection decisions to cut downstream costs. Endeca’s Manufacturing Suite also includes two additional search applications - Spend Analysis and Warranty Analysis - built on a single platform.

Endeca manufacturing customers, including Boeing, Ford Motor Company, Harris Corporation, John Deere, Raytheon, and Weatherford, rely on Endeca for information visibility across the value chain. Endeca manufacturing customers have saved tens to hundreds of millions of dollars by enabling global engineering, sourcing, quality and warranty departments to better collaborate across the value chain.

The Endeca Manufacturing Suite provides visibility across previously siloed systems for key decision points in the value chain, such as selecting the best parts for a new product design, selecting the lowest risk supplier, and identifying the true source of product failures. Each search application in the Suite helps engineering, sourcing, quality, and warranty departments to easily interact with large volumes of diverse and changing information, improving millions of daily decisions. The suite makes the entire value chain more flexible and adaptable, raising quality while cutting costs.

The Endeca Manufacturing Suite includes:

The Endeca Manufacturing Suite is built on the McKinley release of the Endeca Information Access Platform, announced in March. The new platform boasts a redesigned engine that takes advantage of multi-core processors from chipmakers such as Intel to deliver faster performance on greater volumes of data on fewer servers. For developers, advances announced in the McKinley release of the Endeca Information Access Platform and its complementary tools allow the integration and exploitation of larger volumes of diverse and changing information.

As part of its commitment to provide relevant solutions to the manufacturing community, Endeca is working with a growing ecosystem of business partners to deliver and maintain applications that solve specific business problems, and to do so at dramatically lower total cost of ownership, quicker time-to-value, and lower risk than other approaches.

The Endeca Manufacturing Suite is available today. Endeca is featuring the Suite, including Design for Supply 2.0, at the AMR Research Supply Chain Executive Conference being held this week in Scottsdale, AZ and at the 2009 PLM Summit North America being held June 23 – 24th in Miami, FL.
