Exalead And TERMINALFOUR Announce Strategic New Partnership
Exalead, a global leader of search software for business and the web, and TERMINALFOUR, Europe's fastest growing content management company, recently announced a new strategic partnership which reflects both companies' commitment to development and expansion and will also allow both companies to drive new growth opportunities.
Based on a shared vision for enterprise content management and search solutions, Exalead's CloudView product line will immediately be made available alongside TERMINALFOUR's Site Manager to help businesses manage their web, intranet and extranet content and provide a powerful enterprise search facility. The selling of the software by TERMINALFOUR will open up new sales opportunities for Exalead in the market and will ultimately help reduce costs for customers.
"Exalead is pleased to announce this new partnership and we are very confident that TERMINALFOUR's extensive knowledge and experience in this market will open up new opportunities for both companies," said Exalead Managing Director, Raymond Bentinck. "This partnership will benefit new customers as it will provide them with an opportunity to purchase a highly sophisticated enterprise search platform to compliment TERMINALFOUR's enterprise web content management solution."
Piero Tintori, CEO and founder of TERMINALFOUR, said, "Exalead proved to be a perfect addition to the TERMINALFOUR community. Like TERMINALFOUR, they understand the importance of aligning their customers' IT requirements with their business needs. With search being crucial to so many companies today, Exalead's best of breed search capabilities will play a vital role in securing new customers for TERMINALFOUR as we continue to gain market share throughout Europe, the US and the middle-east."
The partnership will be officially announced via a joint marketing event at TERMINALFOUR's 2008 User Open Day, t44u, at the O'Callaghan Alexander Hotel in Dublin on Thursday 20th and Friday 21st November.
