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."
Cutting time to market in life sciences

Relay Technology Management has chosen a solution from Attivio to power a new platform aimed at helping the life sciences industry capture, access and track scientific, clinical and business information.
Relay Innovation Engine is said to remove inefficiencies and complexity for early-stage drug development stakeholders. It captures a comprehensive body of scientific literature, including more than 20 million scientific publications. Relay, however, needed technology to aggregate, analyze and present the structured and unstructured data from various sources in a way that is data type agnostic, scalable and user friendly. Relay chose Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine (AIE) to help produce its SaaS solution.
Three Tips to Maximize the Value of Big Data

When IT leaders delve into a "Big Data" challenge, they discover that it is more complex than they realized. Enterprise architects, information managers, and data management and integration leaders often find that massive volume represents only one aspect of the problem.
Looking beyond managing sheer volume, certain deficiencies within Big Data infrastructures emerge, whether Hadoop-based, ADBMS-based, or a combination of both. Organizations seeking to maximize the business value of Big Data must effectively address these issues.

Attivio added a handful of new modules to its Active Intelligence Engine platform today that allow users to tap into the power if Big Data. The AIE Extreme Modules include connectors to Big Data sources, namely Hadoop, as well as MPP data warehouses from vendors including HP Vertica, EMC Greenplum, IBM Netezza and Oracle.
Also included are a new recommendation engine that analyzes user-generated Big Data to suggest targeted products and services to customers and a new classification engine that classifies documents based on pre-determined rules and categories.
The new modules, particularly the Hadoop connector, are important developments for both Attivio and its current (and potential) customers.
The AIE Extreme Modules make clear that Attivio understands the increasingly important role Big Data plays in the enterprise. Combined with the unique capabilities of its core AIE platform, the company is on solid footing to thrive in the Era of Big Data. Enterprises that are already experimenting with Hadoop and other Big Data technologies should consider the AIE platform to bring Big Data insights to business users and to demonstrate the power of Big Data to executives.
