Premier Integration and Support Firm Teams with Leading Unified Information Access Provider

TCplus Datennetz has announced the expansion of its technology solutions portfolio with the addition of Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine™ (AIE™). Attivio AIE is the leading unified information access (UIA) platform, providing an unprecedented level of business understanding and actionable insight — beyond what is possible using business intelligence/data warehousing (BI/DW) or enterprise search solutions.

According to a recent IDC report "Worldwide Big Data Technology and Services 2012-2015 Forecast" (Document 233485, March 2012), "Unified information access platforms will emerge to knit together information silos across the enterprise, no matter the format or the content." The findings point to the complexity around managing and scaling for big data, and the clear solution that unified information access platforms offer in that "they are capable of indexing and integrating large volumes of unstructured, semi-structured, and structured information into a unified environment for information gathering, analysis, and decision support." IDC recommends that companies "recognize the value of unified information access and analysis in supporting fact-based decisions by individuals, groups, and systems."

Attivio AIE freely integrates and presents structured data (databases) together with unstructured content (documents, SharePoint, web content, email, etc.) enabling customers to know not only "what" is happening, but also gain context to analyze "why" it is happening. Organizations that implement AIE empower their business users to easily access and analyze all relevant enterprise information to identify new business solutions and opportunities that might otherwise go undiscovered.

Attivio AIE offers the most accessible and standards-based approach to analytics of any UIA platform. Through its ODBC and JDBC drivers and full SQL support, AIE seamlessly integrates with leading BI and analytic platforms, so companies across a wide range of industries can access and visualize all required information to address their most daunting business challenges.

"In TCplus, we have found a transnational partner, with a respected and established presence in Austria and Switzerland, that can skillfully position, sell and implement our platform," said Ali Riaz, President & CEO at Attivio. "Together, we anticipate broad market adoption of our solutions and look forward to jointly growing our customer and partner landscape in both countries."

"We believe that unified information access will be a driving force in how companies manage their big data challenges, specifically related to the variety, velocity and volumes they must contend with," said Benjamin Wimsberger, CEO TCplus Datennetze GmbH. "With Attivio, we have added an experienced, capable partner to our portfolio, able to deliver the right solution for these market challenges."

Leading Global QlikView Solution Providers Join Attivio Partner Network

Attivio announced it has partnered with QlikTech to deliver a powerful approach to rapid deployment and development for customers seeking self-service BI and access to disparate structured and unstructured information sources throughout the enterprise. Through the combined power of the Attivio Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) and QlikTech's QlikView Business Discovery platform, this partnership provides critical business insight and empowers innovative decision making by giving users the ability to access, manage and interact with all relevant information, regardless of its source or format.

Additionally, Attivio has struck separate agreements with a number of leading QlikView solution providers, including Project Brokers and Visual Data Group. These agreements provide opportunities to expand reach across multiple shared markets, including banking and financial services, life sciences, manufacturing, technology and the energy sector, and drive adoption of unified information access (UIA) and self-service BI globally.

"This partnership with QlikTech and agreements with two premier solution providers offer our customers the opportunity to capitalize on Attivio's ability to tap into the incredibly valuable sources of information that exist in unstructured content for critical business insight," said Peter McQuade, vice president of Alliances and Partner Sales at QlikTech. "Business intelligence should empower business users, simplifying decision-making across the entirety of an organization. Accessing fully integrated data sources is a significant advantage in achieving self-serve efficiency, unencumbered by the complexity of legacy approaches."

QlikTech's powerful, accessible Business Discovery solution bridges the gap between traditional business intelligence (BI) solutions and standalone office productivity applications. Its QlikView Business Discovery platform enables intuitive user-driven analysis that can be implemented in days or weeks rather than months, years, or not at all. QlikView Business Discovery works with existing BI applications and adds new capabilities: insight for everyone, zero-wait analysis, mobility, an app-like model, remixability and reassembly and a social and collaborative experience.

"Attivio's value in quickly unifying and accessing the traditionally separate silos of enterprise data and content is resonating across an increasingly large group of customers and industries," said Sid Probstein, CTO of Attivio. "This partnership combines QlikView's strength of easy-to-use business intelligence with unified information access from Attivio. As a result, business users will more readily gain insight to their enterprise information that yields actionable insight and results."

"We are seeing a growing and urgent demand among our customer base for a solution that supports the analysis of unstructured content and data sources such as news, social media, and sources from behind the corporate firewall like email and SharePoint," said Daren Cox, CEO at Project Brokers. "Attivio is the only UIA platform that can provide that analysis and integrate with QlikView to bring our users a fully integrated view into all of their information resources in intuitive, visually impressive dashboards."

Attivio will be attending the QlikTech Qonnections Global Partner Summit, April 22-25 at the Fontainebleau, Miami Beach. To arrange a meeting, please contact Jamie Kreppein at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or +1.781.771.6892.
