With search such a hot topic these days for both enterprise content management and web content management, it's probably not such a stretch that a provider of unified information access solutions, like Attivio (news, site), is doing so well.
Record Sales, New Clients
Attivio's fiscal year ended last month and the results were pretty impressive. According to the company which is not a public company, so we can't provide details, sales growth of 334% was achieved over the previous year.
They also doubled their client base and brought some major new clients (but we aren't going to name names, you'll have to head over to the Attivio website if you want those). We do know, however, that Attivio now has clients on three continents, so they are getting around.
Partnerships Help Deliver The Platform
A couple of new partners joined Attivio this year to help deliver their solution. These included Accenture, Ness, and Netezza. Attivio implements their solution primarily via system integrators, like Accenture.
Netezza, a provider of data warehousing and analytic appliances, has added Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine (AIE) to their TwinFin data warehouse appliance.

The problem we have with data is not our ability to store and manage it, but rather our inability to correlate it. Without correlation, the data has no meaning. And if the data has no meaning, business people start to ask some pretty tough questions about the value of IT.
One reason that we can't correlate data is because there are so many conflicting types of information. We have reams of structured data that resides in a database, and with each passing day we add massive amounts of unstructured data in the form of e-mail and a host of emerging Web 2.0 applications.
And yet, all most business people really want to be able to do is look at all the structured data about a customer alongside all the unstructured to determine what exactly is going on with that customer.
One company providing a framework to do that is Attivio, which provides a framework for delivering end users something relatively simple like being able to dynamically mash data together or build complex composite applications.
The Attivio Active Intelligence Engine (AIE) is designed by a team of developers led by company CTO Sid Probstein that built a framework for managing information that, rather than forcing everything into the same schema architecture, pulls data in its natural format into a centralized system. Database tables are presented in full alongside e-mail messages because there’s no need to normalize data or flatten everything to work with a proprietary search engine.

Today the channels for expressing opinions seem to increase daily. When these opinions are relevant to a company, they are important sources of business insight, whether they represent critical intelligence about a customer's defection risk, the impact of an influential reviewer on other people's purchase decisions, or early feedback on product releases, company news or competitors. Capturing and analyzing these opinions is a necessity for proactive product planning, marketing and customer service, and it is also critical in maintaining brand integrity.
What if you could quickly discover, quantify and act on the opinions of your customers and influencers wherever they appeared?
Opinion is a powerful force that is hard for companies to capture, shape and respond to rapidly - but failing to do so can have profound consequences. The importance of harnessing opinion is growing as consumers use technologies such as Twitter and Facebook to express their views directly to other consumers. Tracking the disparate sources of opinion is hard - but even harder is quickly and accurately extracting the meaning so companies can analyze and act.

Enterprise search to find missing pieces
One such technology is enterprise search. Enterprise search allows users to search among an organization's data via keywords regardless of which department or division "owns" the data, said Sid Probstein, CTO at Newtonville, Mass.-based Attivio.
"The government has a very real problem filtering through that data to find the pieces that will actually help analysts," Probstein said. "The government needs tools which are able to help organize filtered data."
Probstein said Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine, a hybrid enterprise search and data analysis platform, is just such a tool. The platform lets users - intelligence analysts, for example - search both structured and unstructured data from multiple sources, he said; it then returns indexed results that are organized in a way that makes analysis easy.
Users can set up queries such that only results that fit particular requirements are returned. This type of technology, had it been in use, might have connected the suspect's name -- which was on a TSA watch list -- with data held on him by the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, prompting an alert to be sent to analysts, Probstein said.

"The Lowdown: The total amount of digital data in the world is approaching 500 billion gigabytes and is doubling about every 18 months, according to an IDC estimate. Trouble is, making valuable use of all that information isn't easy.
Businesses today are awash in two types of data: structured and unstructured. The former is largely transactional data, the kind you find in corporate data warehouses and analyzed using traditional reporting and analysis tools. But those tools don't work well when it comes to unstructured information, everything from documents and e-mails to digitized audio and video " the kind of stuff we rely on search tools like Google to help us find.
Attivio Active Intelligence Engine
Enter Attivio and its Active Intelligence Engine that combines search and business intelligence capabilities in one "unified information access" product, giving users the ability to search for both kinds of data."
