Governor Presented with Endeca Navigator Award at Company''s Annual Meeting
Endeca Technologies, Inc.,an agile information management software company, today announced that the Honorable Deval Patrick, Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, will join Endeca to celebrate the company''s continued growth and innovation in Massachusetts. Endeca will host the Governor for its annual company meeting today at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel.
Governor Patrick''s Innovation Economy initiative emphasizes the significant resources that Massachusetts can uniquely bring together to create employment opportunities in knowledge-based industries and grow the overall Massachusetts economy. These resources include leading educational institutions, information technology organizations, life sciences and healthcare organizations, clean energy organizations, and an unmatched population of human capital. These resources were highlighted earlier this year when Governor Patrick led a delegation of state officials and business leaders, including representatives from Endeca, on the Massachusetts Innovation Economy Partnership Mission 2011 to Israel and the UK.
"Massachusetts is well positioned to lead the nation in Big Data and Endeca is at the forefront of our Innovation Economy," said Governor Patrick. "With a focus on business expansion and job growth, I''m pleased to support this leading software provider in Massachusetts."
The emergence of the Big Data economy was featured in a May 2011 McKinsey & Company report entitled Big Data: The next frontier for innovation, competition and productivity.
"By harnessing Big Data - the growing volume, variety, and velocity of information - businesses and government have boundless opportunities to innovate in the coming years," said Steve Papa, CEO, Endeca. "Big Data holds opportunities for the entire Massachusetts Innovation Economy and emphasizes the unique strengths of our Commonwealth. It is an opportunity to create focus for educational institutions, deploy our venture capital resources, create efficiencies in government and healthcare, extend our dominance in life sciences, support growth in the management consulting industry, create new information technology companies, and will drive employment and the further development of human capital in Massachusetts."
In recognition of his vision in leading the Massachusetts Innovation Economy, Endeca presented Governor Patrick with a Navigator Award. "Governor Patrick''s efforts to help the world recognize the energy, scale, and unique contributions of Massachusetts'' Innovation Economy transcends politics and political parties and ultimately creates greater prosperity for all citizens," continued Papa.
