FORT MYERS — Web search firm Yippy says it plans to acquire Michael Cizmar & Associates to attract customers who have been using Google Search Appliance. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Michael Cizmar & Associates is a charter Google for Work partner and winner of Google's 2014 Innovation Partner of the Year Award. When the acquisition is completed in July, Founder Michael Cizmar will join Yippy as a member of its senior management team.
In February, Google announced it was ending Google Search Appliance, a service that helps companies index large amounts of data for easy retrieval. Fort Myers-based Yippy says its planned acquisition of Michael Cizmar will help it draw customers who have been using Google's search appliance. “Google's decision to focus its attention on cloud-based solutions has created an opportunity for Yippy to bridge the gap between appliance and cloud,” says Richard Granville, CEO of Yippy, in a statement.
“Yippy's EASE 360 software stack offers a compelling solution for customers seeking a replacement for the Google Search Appliance,” says Cizmar in a statement. “Yippy's Blue Flame appliance is not simply 'on par' with the Google Search Appliance, it is a dynamic reinvention of how enterprise search can be delivered with intelligence and analytics at a fraction of the cost.”
