Founded in 2000 by search engine pioneers, François Bourdoncle and Patrice Bertin, Exalead is a global software provider in the enterprise and Web search markets.

Exalead's worldwide client base includes leading companies such as Price WaterhouseCooper, ViaMichelin, American Greetings and Sanofi Aventis R&D, and more than 100 million unique users a month use Exalead's technology for search.

Today, Exalead is reshaping the digital content landscape with a platform that uses advanced semantic technologies to bring structure, meaning and accessibility to previously unused or under-utilized data in the disparate, heterogeneous enterprise information cloud. The system collects data from virtually any source, in any format, and transforms it into structured, pervasive, contextualized building blocks of business information that can be directly searched and queried, or used as the foundation for a new breed of lean, innovative information access applications.

This revolutionary technology and others make Exalead one of the most important companies to watch in the fields of digital content search, discovery, management, security, and storage.
