IKANOW and Carahsoft Partner to Bring Open Analytics and Agile Intelligence
to the Government

Reston, VA and Woodbridge, VA—April 19, 2012 – Carahsoft Technology Corp., the trusted Government IT solutions provider, and IKANOW, the developer of Infinit.e, an open analytics platform, are partnering to bring IKANOW’s Infinit.e knowledge discovery and data platform to the U.S. public sector market. Under the partnership agreement, Carahsoft will provide proactive sales and marketing activities to educate the market about IKANOW’s service offerings and generate demand for Infinit.e.

Infinit.e is an all-in-one knowledge discovery tool with an intuitive browser-like interface and powerful algorithms that automatically find relevant information, determine connections and present results in easily understood diagrams, saving time, increasing confidence and improving communications.

“IKANOW offers U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community analysts with a platform using cutting edge open source technologies to find what information is really important in the ever-growing ocean of data to take fast, effective action,” said Chris Morgan, Chief Technology Officer, IKANOW. “We look forward to working with Carahsoft’s open source and big data teams to expand our visibility in the government marketplace.”

Rather than relying on licensing models and proprietary interfaces or closed innovation, IKANOW’s Infinit.e tool is built on open source technologies that empower advanced analytics to visually sort, organize and understand vast amounts of unstructured and structured data very quickly. The solution leverages a massively scalable, cloud-based analytic platform architected for plug-and-play with additional data sources, extraction engines and visualization widgets to provide users with the flexibility to adapt the platform to any specific mission or domain.

“We are pleased to add IKANOW to our growing portfolio of Open Source solutions and to make the company’s cloud-based analyst platform available to our government customers and reseller partners,” said Natalie Gregory, sales director for Carahsoft’s open source practice. “IKANOW solutions address the government’s exploding demand for knowledge discovery and research tools that are fast, easy to use, comprehensive and deliver high-confidence results.”
