----March 21,
2005--Endeca , the leading provider of Guided Navigation(R), Search and
Analysis solutions today at Esther Dyson 's PC Forum unveiled Endeca
Latitude(TM), a revolutionary data analysis solution built on Endeca's
award-winning information retrieval platform. Latitude combines this intuitive
accessibility with robust charting and data visualization
capabilities, allowing non-technical, business users - representing
more than 80 percent of all enterprise users - to interact with
business-critical data in a way that was never before possible.

-- Reduced database-licensing costs/risks: Endeca's Navigation
Engine acts as a standalone server and thus does not put any
load on database server to answer queries; site licensing
model removes costs and risks associated with typical
seat-based licensing , allowing enterprises to extend Latitude
applications to large number of users. Our introduction of Guided Navigation resulted in a
fundamental change both in the expectations of what search should
deliver, and in the type of information retrieval applications that
were possible," said Jim Baum , president and CEO of Endeca.
"It's a great alternative and we believe that by making this service
available to our customers, we are truly giving our clients a valuable and
cost-effective resource ," says Brian Holley, Sales Manager for LandMark
Systems.landmarksystems.org/products/mapcard.

The result has been lower
report-writing costs, happier and empowered employees, and more
satisfied clients. Now, our employees can get answers
directly, and cut out the inherent iterative processes to get the
right answer," says Brendan Nolan, senior vice president, Distribution
Technology at MFS Investment Management. "We've tried to do this in
the past with other BI tools, but they never took hold. Guided Navigation is now the foundation of
Endeca's award-winning and highly successful enterprise search (Endeca
ProFind) and e-commerce search (Endeca InFront) solutions, which
create intuitive customer and employee interactions with huge volumes
of product data and enterprise content - giving these important users
the powerful tools to make informed purchasing and business decisions .
Starting with search and navigation, these solutions have since
expanded the capabilities of information retrieval to include dynamic
merchandising and Content Spotlighting, where products and content can
be dynamically promoted through search and browse-based business
rules.endeca. MyTopo .

Endeca Latitude
represents the next phase in the evolution of enterprise search
engines, introducing a new, intuitive way to access, discover and
analyze critical business data - with one simple set of tools. But when it comes to
accessing reporting and business performance tools, most enterprise
users are restricted to 'canned' reports, static dashboards and Excel
spreadsheets - or are forced to learn extremely complicated querying
and business intelligence offerings. In the past year, database and BI vendors such as SPSS, SAP,
and Oracle have made forays into the content world."
In 2001, Endeca introduced a new approach to information access
and retrieval called Guided Navigation, and in the process redefined
"search" as it is commonly known. Guided Navigation mimics the human
discovery process by integrating the two most common means of finding
information online -- searching and browsing - allowing users to
continually adapt and hone their search based on their own
determination of relevancy.com or call 877-587-9004.
