Huddle Named to KMWorld's List of 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Mar 08, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Huddle, the enterprise content collaboration platform, today
announced that it has been named one of KMWorld's 100 Companies that
Matter in Knowledge Management. The list, which is compiled by
knowledge management practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors, and
their customers and colleagues, is the latest in a series of
accolades that Huddle's collaboration software has received and
builds on a number of key developments for the company over the last
12 months.
"Criteria for inclusion vary, but all winning companies have things
in common. Each has either helped to create a market, redefine one or
enhance one, and they all share two things -- the velocity of
innovation and the agility to serve their customers," says Hugh
McKellar, KMWorld Editor-in-Chief.
Key milestones for Huddle in the last year:
-- Record performance in government: The company revealed that it is on
track to have its biggest year for government contracts to date.
Huddle has doubled the number of deals secured with UK public sector
organizations in the first eight months of this financial year (May 1,
2012 - April 30, 2013) compared to the total number of contracts
closed in 2011/2012. In addition, Huddle took its government
technology expertise to the US thanks to a strategic partnership and
technology development agreement with In-Q-Tel. A FISMA (Federal
Information Security Management Act of 2002) certified instance of its
cloud-based content collaboration platform is being developed for US
government agencies and organizations.
-- Record performance in the enterprise and key appointments to the
executive leadership team: The company has achieved more than an 800%
sales growth, year after year, in the enterprise marketplace.
Strengthening its executive team, the company also welcomed Dr. Chris
Boorman as chief marketing officer (CMO). Boorman brings more than 20
years of marketing and business leadership experience from enterprise
software category leaders including Informatica, SDL, salesforce.com,
VERITAS and Oracle.
-- Product innovation: Huddle unveiled its intelligent recommendation
technology. Powered by patent-pending predictive technology, the
intelligent recommendation engine's learning algorithms select files
that will be of most relevance to users for full sync across their
device of choice -- mobile, tablet or desktop. Without having to sync
the entire corporate knowledge store onto their devices, placeholder
files give workers visibility of all files available to them without
consuming bandwidth and reducing the likelihood of enterprise data
being compromised. This solves the information overload issue
experienced by the workforce in today's enterprise.
"Working with colleagues and teams within their organization, as well
as customers, partners and contractors across the firewall, today's
knowledge workers are often drowning in data," said Alastair
Mitchell, CEO, Huddle. "Huddle solves this problem by not only
enabling people to share and work on content securely, regardless of
their location, but also by pushing relevant information to their
devices. By doing so, we're helping people to filter through the fire
hose of information they're subjected to on a daily basis and deal
with the content they actually need. This system intelligence is the
future of enterprise search, and to be included in such a list,
validates our vision of making life easier for knowledge workers
across the globe. Today, effective knowledge management is not about
storing and accessing your content, it's about collaborating
effectively and getting your job done."
