What does Attivio do?

Attivio is a fascinating company that is born of deep experience in business intelligence and enterprise search. Its basic value proposition is as follows:

• Business Intelligence systems are better at raising questions than at answering them.
• When a BI Dashboard shows that sales have dropped or risen, the answer to why that happened is often in the unstructured information in a company.
• To answer the questions that arise, you often have to then search through the unstructured information to find what really happened.
• Attivio remedies this problem by connected BI dashboards with the relevant unstructured information.
