Q&A: The Drive to Unified Information Access

Tuesday, April 28, 2009, Enterprise Systems

Information access is a vital requirement for any enterprise -- but given the wide range of data types (and consider the vast challenges of unstructured data), how can an enterprise support querying of data with SQL precision but with the fuzziness of search that all users are used to? The answer just might be unified information access. To learn more, we spoke with Sid Probstein, CTO and co-founder of Attivio.

Enterprise Strategies: What do you mean by unified information access?

Sid Probstein: We refer to a single point of access for all information in the enterprise: structured, related, transactional, numeric data ( typically stored in relational databases) and unstructured text data (typically stored on file systems, content management systems, etc.). Our goal is to support querying this information -- and all information -- with the precision of SQL and the fuzziness of search.
