 PROFILE
Don't let its size fool you -- this Hummingbird is a predator. Largely through acquisitions, Hummingbird has grown from being a provider of networking software that links incompatible operating systems into a leading maker of data warehousing, document management, and business intelligence software. Its Enterprise Information Portal provides a Web-based interface through which companies can manage structured data from transactional databases as well as unstructured data culled from e-mails, spreadsheets, and other sources. Clients include Boeing, Lucent, and Lockheed Martin. Hummingbird bounded into the knowledge management market with the 1999 purchase (which doubled its size) of PC DOCS Group.
