Coveo: Disruption of the Search Market
sponsored by Coveo
--------------------------------------------------------

ABSTRACT:

This IDC Flash discusses Coveo's recent spin-off from Copernic and its leap into midmarket enterprise search. Both consumer and enterprise search are hot technology areas, with good reason: Neither consumers nor information workers can find their "stuff." Recent announcements from Google, Microsoft, and AskJeeves, among others, have shown that this topic is newsworthy in the consumer market.

Coveo like Google's search appliance, Verity's Ultraseek, dtSearch, ISYS, and ZYLAB addresses the specialized needs of midsize companies for enterprise search. Coveo's entrance strategy for this market is intriguing: It offers a downloadable 5,000-document trial version that has no expiration date. This product searches local documents, intranets, Microsoft Outlook email, and the Web with a minimal footprint. IDC believes that the midmarket is underserved by the dominant enterprise search vendors. Coveo's strategy may foreshadow an era of disruption from below.
