SAN CARLOS, Calif. — April 21, 2011 — MarkLogic Corporation, the company revolutionizing the way organizations leverage unstructured information, has been named a finalist for the Software & Information Industry Association’s CODiE awards in the “Best Database Solution” category. MarkLogic has won the “Best Database Management” category for the past two years.
MarkLogic Server is a database that allows organizations to fully leverage the 80% of data that is classified as unstructured information and to address issues associated with big data. This can included anything from documents and PDFs, to emails and tweets. The “Best Database Solution” category recognizes the best solution for the storage, organization, management, search, and retrieval of large quantities of data in a business environment for any range or combination of activities, including financial, contacts, records management, research, documents, and other sources. Finalists are also eligible for the “Best Operations Management Solution” and “Best Information Management Solution” super-categories.
“The CODiE Awards represent some of the best technology solutions on the market,” said Ken Bado, president and CEO, MarkLogic. “As organizations start to look at the opportunities unstructured information and big data present, the advantages of having a solution like MarkLogic are clear. Throwing old technology at a new problem doesn’t work, and these awards represent truly innovative solutions, such as MarkLogic, which can enable organizations to leverage the 80 percent of their data that’s unstructured and give them a significant competitive advantage.”
