July 19th, 2011 by Market'&Co News, Press releases 0

Dassault Aviation announced, during the last Paris Air Show, late June, the deployment of a Search-Based Applications dedicated to flight line crew and mechanics.

Developed in less than a month by Exalead and its partner Bull, the application allows instant post-flight access to all the maintenance data used for diagnostics support.

Several hundred thousand records – aircraft, system and equipment repair records and other maintenance reports – contained in different databases are collected, indexed and linked together by high-performance search algorithms.

Comment from Jean Sass, CIO, Information System Division, Dassault Aviation:

“With Exalead, we have been able to solve problems that we could not resolve with traditional enterprise management solutions.
Within a few weeks, we had access to effective dashboards, adapted to the requirements of a wide variety of activities and capable of aggregating heterogeneous data sources.”

Stephen E. Arnold Interviews Laurent Couillard, Exalead CEO

June 28th, 2011 by Market'&Co Interviews & Commentaries, News, On the personal side... 0

In an interview with Stephen E. Arnold last month, Exalead CEO Laurent Couillard shared his vision for Search-Based Applications and his take on the synergies between Exalead and Dassault Systèmes. We invite you to enjoy the interview.

Along the way, you’ll discover why Arnold is convinced that “with the fast uptake of CloudView, Exalead will undergo continued rapid growth, vying with Autonomy for the role as the world’s leading enterprise information and content processing vendor.”

Excerpt :

What is your background? How did you come to the search, information access, and content processing business?

I came to Exalead from Dassault Systèmes, where I began my career as an applications engineer. My first mission there was to develop software to help our customers better design, build and test manufactured products. While this foundation in technology and innovation makes me feel at home here at Exalead, I think in particular coming at our business from the user side of the software equation is a plus.
Beginning with the company’s founders, Exalead has gathered some of the world’s best talent in server-side software development, grid computing, and natural language processing. It’s what’s enabled us to produce the industry’s top SBA platform. Now, we’ll be devoting more energy to developing packaged business applications built on this foundation. That’s a mission right up my alley. And I intend to apply all my experience in sales and partner network development to this mission as well. That’s my charge from DS: to use my dual technology/sales background to develop Exalead and to penetrate new markets with SBAs, while preserving all the qualities that make Exalead so unique in this market. I’m fortunate to be in a position to leverage the full knowledge, resources, geographical coverage and expertise of the DS group to make this happen.

June 27th, 2011 by Market'&Co Kudos 0

On June 7th, Exalead clients and partners gathered at the Cité de l’architecture & du patrimoine to share their experiences with Search-Based Applications (SBAs). Exalead CEO Laurent Couillard reflects on the energy of the event:

“This annual conference is a cornerstone of our SBA engagement. Our own vision is immeasurably enriched each time we have the opportunity to come together and share experiences with our partners and clients. Their creativity and innovation is inspiring. Together, we’ve made dramatic progress in using SBAs to solve tough IT challenges and to open up new market opportunities, and the Search-Based Application revolution has only just begun…”

Laurent Couillard partnered with Morgan Zimmermann, VP Sales Worldwide,
to kick off the conference, first with a look back at the evolution of the Search-Based Application model, and then with a look ahead to the innovations
on the horizon for 2012.

The conference was centered on the real-world SBA experiences of clients like Randstad, the world’s second largest HR services provider; La Poste, France’s national postal agency, and travel and tourism leader Voyages-sncf.com (SNCF group sites are the third most visited in Europe after Expedia and Priceline), as well as Exalead partners like Capgemini, Business & Decision, ST Groupe, Bull, Décisionnel, Keyrus and CSC. The evening was topped off with the official launch of CLuE, the new CLub of Exalead users, an announcement toasted from the panoramic terrace of the Cité de l’architecture & du patrimoine.

Press release- Dubai Police Select Dassault Systèmes’ Exalead to Improve Access to Oracle Database System

May 12th, 2011 by Market'&Co Press releases 0

VÉLIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France – May 12, 2011 – Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) announced today that its subsidiary, Exalead, the European leader in search and information access software for the enterprise and Web, has signed an agreement with the Dubai Police through Taya IT, Exalead’s value-added reseller (VAR) for the region.

To aid in civil and criminal investigations, the Dubai Police maintain a large repository of critical data in an Oracle database system. At present, the continually growing repository includes approximately 35 million documents. To retrieve information from the system, police personnel were using the database’s built-in search utility. As the volume of data increased, the system began to experience serious performance issues. It could take the platform 30 to 45 minutes to process some queries, and competing information access and transaction processing demands were degrading overall database server performance. In addition, the search utility was rigid, returning only exact matches to precise user queries.
