History
editDigimind was founded in 1998 by Paul Vivant, Patrice François, Gerald Navarette and Romain Laboisse in Grenoble, France. Within a year, they launched vStrat, a collaborative market intelligence software tool for Lotus Notes (now IBM Notes). This was followed by the release of Strategic Finder, a meta search engine, in 1999.[3] By the end of 1999, the software had reached over 60,000 users.
In 2003 the company launched Digimind Evolution, a competitive intelligence software application. The company's subsequent success and expansion in both French- and English-speaking markets facilitated the opening of a Research & Development centre in Rabat, Morocco in 2006, and an office in Cambridge, MA in 2008. In 2007, Digimind launched Digimind 7, an application providing real-time visual analysis of news stories.
In July 2024, Digimind was acquired by Onclusive[4], a portfolio company of Symphony Technology Group. Later that year, Digimind rebranded[5] to Onclusive Social reflecting it's full integration with media intelligence provider Onclusive[6].
