On December 21, 2000, Excalibur Technologies was combined with Intel Corporation's Interactive Media Services division to form the Convera Corporation. Finally, on April 9, 2007, the RetrievalWare software and business was purchased by Fast Search & Transfer at which point the product was officially retired. Microsoft Corporation continues to maintain the product for its existing customer base. Annual revenues for RetrievalWare peaked in 2001 at around $40 million US dollars.〔 - Indicates that Convera products accounted for 85% of the total revenue of $51.5 million.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RetrievalWare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
