Attivio Ships Unified Information Access Platform

Tuesday, December 6, 2011 - Database Trends and Applications

Attivio announced the launch of an advanced unified information access platform that condenses information from existing BI and big data technologies into a single environment accessible to business end-users. Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine AIE) 3.0 is designed to support information access methods used across the enterprise and provide search queries and role-based dashboards for mainstream business users.

Big data technologies address sheer volume, but not the variety, velocity and complexity now referred to as extreme information, Mike Urbonas, director of product marketing at Attivio, tells 5 Minute Briefing. The platform integrates with existing data warehouse environments as well, Urbonas says. "AIE can index and ingest structured data whether from a data warehouse or production database tables," he points out. "A data warehouse is always preferable because there are fewer joins than in highly denormalized production databases, but both are fine."
