Following its re-branding in 2000, Excalibur, now known as Convera, has successfully positioned itself as a leading provider of mission-critical enterprise search, retrieval and categorisation solutions within the global market.
With its technologies already being used in SA, Convera is now looking to raise awareness of its products and is currently working with its key partner, Knowledge Focus, to demonstrate the value the technology is providing for businesses in the region.
Kumba Resources, one of SA`s leading mining companies, implemented a knowledge management initiative, which uses Convera`s RetrievalWare to provide a platform for Kumba`s information. The solution enables scalability, building of a future roadmap and capabilities to handle multimedia formats, which were all key to Kumba`s business aims. As a result, the business can react more quickly to the rapidly changing market.
Other Convera customers in SA include:
- Eskom, a leading supplier of energy in SA.
- M-Net/SuperSport, a subscription-based TV station with over 60 channels.
- Government, tertiary financial institutions.
