About Us

Founded by a team of experts in business intelligence, data warehousing and enterprise search software, Attivio is driving new innovations in the emerging unified information access market. We deliver the Active Intelligence Engine (AIE), a universal repository for injecting information into key business processes. It weaves data, content, and applications together for a variety of uses such as ecommerce, eDiscovery, and operational business intelligence. The engine is easy to install, always downloadable, linearly scalable, and perfect for both custom solutions and application embedding. Our main innovations are integrating structured data and unstructured content into a single universal repository and using the information to automatically update, manage, and enrich business systems.

Our strategy is mashing up technologies for today's collaborative world where online presence, multi-channel alignment, and end-to-end integration are critical factors. We believe that search results from unstructured content or query results from structured data alone always sub-optimize the business process. By delivering answers based on all corporate information to the right person at the right time, we drive the shift from finding information to using information and help companies conduct better business.

"Attivio believes in breaking down silos: between structured data and unstructured content, between information and action, between open source and commercial software, between customers' short-term requirements and our long-term technology roadmap. We will break them down with outstanding engineering talent, mash-up technologies, and a steadfast focus on delivering sophisticated solutions that are easy to implement and maintain. This is our mission, created entirely by our past experiences with customers and partners from all verticals."
