Attivio | Unified Information Access Blog

Q: Do you need to replace or extend a data warehouse, data mart or other operational data store and want an approach that does not require a significant investment in up-front design?
A: AIE ingests all types of data into a universal index so you can analyze, access, and explore data within a schema-less data model. You can also integrate unstructured content and present the data in BI-style dashboards.

Q: Is your challenge finding a more automated way to "connect the dots" (for example people, places and things) across disparate pieces and sources of content and data, so you can more effectively discover insights and make decisions?
A: AIE's patent-pending JOIN operator connects data and content from diverse sources, and workflow enables automated discovery, analysis and delivery of information to people and processes.

Q: Do you need to apply rules or filters during information discovery so you can trigger events and workflow based on content?
A: AIE's platform simplifies filtered information discovery, allowing your application to automatically detect relevant information during ingestion or retrieval. AIE's workflow can apply rules and process the filtered information for action by people or processes.

Q: Do you need to simplify data integration with a common information hub and create a central dashboard across multiple related applications?
A: One of the toughest problems in the data world is data integration. With AIE, you can avoid much of the "Transform" step of ETL by ingesting data into the AIE universal index. You can then retrieve any of the data without losing its relational context.

Q: Do you want to enhance an application with a 360-degree view of a specific type of information, such as a view of a customer, market, brand, risk, etc.?
A: AIE lets you achieve the most comprehensive 360-degree views possible by including related data and content in interactive graphical views. Attivio's patent-pending JOIN operator ensures that related content is included with data for analysis and display.

Q: Do you need a common platform for providing both quantitative and qualitative analytics? Would your application benefit from incorporating analytics and workflow?
A: AIE unifies text and data analytics, providing qualitative analytics and comprehensive, scalable access to data used for quantitative analytics. With AIE, you can use workflow to create events based on analytics or push analyzed data to people or processes automatically.

Q: Do you need to replace legacy enterprise search with a technology that is easier to implement and tune and that includes more sophisticated text analytics?
A: AIE includes cutting-edge search technologies - advanced linguistics, clustering, classification, dynamic facet recommendations, and sentiment analysis.
