The cost of finding and acting on information has increased over time and will continue to increase. This is not only due to the growing amount of information that is available to us today. Much rather it is the growing number of enterprise data sources and formats that are still creating the bulk of the cost.

The eccenca distribution of SMILA (SeMantic Information Logistics Architecture) aims to commoditize those infrastructure components that are key to reducing life cycle cost of information access applications. By providing an open standards based platform for your information management and information access initiative, we aim to help you focus your resources on improved user experience, better business process support or the use of best in class automated data analysis tools.

We believe that there is a business opportunity in creating customer satisfaction. Thus we offer our eccenca Community Edition distribution of SMILA as Open Source software. We are convinced that the platform for your next generation semantic information access project should cause no vendor or tool provider lock in. Much rather it should be open to anyones suggestions, contributions and innovations. Thus we have created the eccenca Community that will allow our eco-system to share idea, components and innovations.
