Endeca unveiled Endeca Latitude, a data analysis solution built on Endeca’s information retrieval platform. Endeca Latitude introduces a new way to access, discover and analyze critical business data. The new software gives employees and customers the combined exploration, reporting and analytical capabilities that today only a handful of trained power users, analysts, and IT enjoy. Built on Endeca’s information retrieval platform, Endeca Latitude brings the simplicity of searching and browsing online to the world of business intelligence. Latitude combines this intuitive accessibility with charting and data visualization capabilities, allowing non-technical, business users to interact with business-critical data. This combination of simplicity and accessibility empowers employees and customers to reach intelligent and informed decisions on their own, without the dependencies, bottlenecks and delays inherent with traditional BI and OLAP tools. www.endeca.com

There is some additional detail on what blogs and wikis don’t do for you from somone who is using them in an enterprise environment that Lauren interviewed for her report at Corporate Blogs and Wikis: Benefits and Limits.
It is to early to tell anything from our ongoing survey on the use of enterprise blogs, wikis and RSS, but so far it is surprising how low the use of RSS is. Speaking of RSS, there is a fairly new blog focused on enterprise RSS that looks worth tracking.
Both are good background reading for our upcoming conference session in San Francisco.
