Newton, MA - April 29, 2013 - Company Release

Attivio, Inc. the leader in unified information access (UIA), has been positioned in the "Visionaries" quadrant in Gartner's April 25, 2013 "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Search," recognized as one of the most influential market analyses for organizations seeking to evaluate software. According to Gartner, "Visionaries address the keen desire of enterprises to pursue consumer-class search experiences with fresh capabilities and flexibility. They understand that chasing the "Google experience" is not sufficient, but that providing search features that allow for better collaboration, application development, and innovative means of finding and working with content is particularly valuable."

Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) combines the power of enterprise search, BI and big data analytics for strategic applications and solutions that can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud. Attivio AIE maximizes the return on customers' information assets by powering solutions that integrate multiple disparate information sources to improve sales performance, delight customers, ensure compliance, minimize risk and drive productivity.

"We believe our position at the highest point on the ability to execute axis of Gartner's "visionaries" quadrant speaks to the innovation, growth and successful results our clients are realizing," commented Ali Riaz, CEO at Attivio. "We remain focused on creating the most complete access and interpretation of businesses' information assets."

"Enterprises need powerful search technology that brings clarity to complexity," stated Sid Probstein, CTO of Attivio. "Attivio's technology integrates all related content and data matching a single query, with no advance data modeling, no ‘flattening' of data tables and, thanks to our patented query-time JOIN capability, no pre-defined query requirements."

Awarded for its unique method of unifying multiple content and data sources, Attivio stands out among top companies in knowledge management

Attivio, Inc. the leader in unified information access (UIA) powered by its Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®), has once again been named to the "KMWorld 100 Companies that Matter" list. Now in its 13th year, KM practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors, their customers and colleagues, compile the list.

"All companies on the list have something in common. Each has either helped to create, redefine or enhance a market," says Hugh McKellar, KMWorld Editor-in-Chief.

Attivio has redefined the UIA market with its patented query-time JOIN capability that allows customers to develop new analysis methods that span information silos, and gain insight that would be missed by legacy systems.

AIE dynamically joins all related content and data matching a single query — with no advance data modeling, no "flattening" of data tables and no pre-defined joins between information sources required. Attivio's technology retains the structure and relationships found in all types of information, and allows users and applications to exploit these links at query time. Through this approach, Attivio helps customers in financial services, life sciences, government, manufacturing, retail and e-business answer their most pressing ‘what' and ‘why' big data and analytics questions.

Attivio's most recent release, AIE 3.5, features event-driven visualization capabilities and a new Ontology Module that allows customers to better correlate, access, and analyze information by using their existing ontologies as the foundation for advanced entity extraction and query expansion.

"Business users are clamoring for new combinations of content and data, drawn from new internal and external sources, in higher volumes than ever before," stated Ali Riaz, CEO at Attivio. "AIE combines the power of enterprise search, BI and big data analytics for strategic applications and solutions that help our customers increase revenues, cut costs and mitigate risks. We are honored to once again be recognized among the elite technology vendors in knowledge management and business intelligence by KMWorld."

The complete list will be featured in KMWorld's March 2013 issue and will also be available at www.kmworld.com.

Unified information access platform gives organizations new ways
to correlate and analyze business information and expands SQL capabilities

Attivio announced Version 3.5 of its award-winning Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®). Version 3.5 features a new Ontology Module and event-driven visualization capabilities that let analysts immediately understand what's happening on large, multi-node systems. Additional enhancements include expanded SQL support and automatic generation of thumbnail and preview images to help customers more rapidly view and retrieve critical information.

Ontology Module

Many organizations, particularly in industries such as financial services and life sciences, rely on ontologies — formalized categories, terms and relationships for a specific domain — to ensure consistent presentation and understanding of information. AIE enables enterprises to unify information access across hundreds of disparate information silos. With the AIE Ontology Module, customers can better correlate, access, and analyze information by using their existing ontologies as the basis for advanced entity extraction and query expansion. Features include:

• Advanced entity-extraction through ontology-based dictionaries
• Synonym support for enhanced entity extraction and querying
• Query auto-complete and classification based on ontology terms
• Zthes, SmartLogic, RDFS, OWL, YAML, and MeSH support with an extensible loader framework to easily add new input formats

Event-Driven Systems Analysis and Visualization

AIE's ability to ingest, integrate and correlate disparate silos of structured data and unstructured content through one, unified index eliminates the need to create separate databases for individual business applications. This integration removes the barriers found with database-backed systems and enables information-based connections never before possible. As AIE 3.5 executes workflows, enhanced systems and performance monitoring tools provide a unified view of all relevant metrics. Customizable graphical displays of important parameters stream in real time and overlay upon each other to correlate events and system behavior, providing critical insight to massive, mission-critical environments.

"IntraLinks is a leading provider of inter-enterprise content management and collaboration solutions used by 800 of the global Fortune 1000," said Fahim Siddiqui, Chief Product Officer, IntraLinks. "AIE's event-driven system and performance management have set a new standard of excellence that means we are able to proactively identify and resolve issues. For us, Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine is not just a technology; it's a key piece of our overall commitment to providing the best possible experience for our customers."

"Companies no longer need to accept trade-offs and compromises when they integrate and apply big data applications across multiple enterprise data repositories," said Sid Probstein, Chief Technology Officer, at Attivio. "Attivio AIE 3.5 is a linearly scalable platform that requires no additional stack or database and manages information of all sizes, shapes and forms. It is absolutely the strongest, most agile and customizable platform upon which to build business intelligence and competitive advantage."

Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine® provides single point of access for QlikView analytics across the variety and complexity of Big Data

QlikTech, (NASDAQ: QLIK) a leader in user-driven Business Intelligence (BI), and Attivio today announced a partnership to give customers the ability to combine QlikView in-memory data with Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) via QlikView Direct Discovery. QlikTech and Attivio have collaborated to test and validate Direct Discovery with Attivio's AIE to leverage AIE's capabilities of unifying the variety of Big Data information to give business users a full understanding of not just what has happened, but also why.

By combining the power of QlikView and AIE, customers can integrate, correlate and analyze structured, unstructured and semi-structured information faster and easier than ever before. The AIE solution is now available on QlikMarket, QlikTech's recently launched Web marketplace.

"QlikView is committed to simplifying the way business users access and utilize information," said QlikTech Chief Technology Officer Anthony Deighton. "The speed with which Big Data is evolving requires constant, cutting-edge innovation. Attivio is able to join multiple content and data sources so companies can develop new analysis methods that span information silos, and gain insight that is often missed by other systems."

Through the combined capabilities of QlikView Direct Discovery and Attivio AIE's unified information access, users no longer need to download large data sources into memory. QlikView can directly access unstructured and structured information from the Attivio AIE engine and display results in a QlikView visualization or dashboard. Specific business benefits of the Attivio and QlikView integration include:

• Financial Services — reduce operational costs and streamline processes; gain visibility into transactions and optimize processing life cycles, increase effectiveness of risk and compliance initiatives, better analyze customer behaviors and maximize investment returns and portfolio performance.
• Government/Military — integrate, access and share information sourced from multiple disparate systems, databases and repositories that typically do not communicate readily with one another; improve information flow; shorten critical timelines and provide an affordable migration path to meet future requirements.
• Life Sciences — make faster, better business and clinical decisions; shorten discovery-to-commercialization product cycles; improve physician feedback to manufacturers and reduce the time and cost of regulatory compliance.
• Manufacturing, Retail and e-Business — analyze retail sales from an unlimited number of sources of transactional data and unstructured information; collaborate with suppliers and partners more transparently; empower front-line staff to anticipate and resolve customer needs quickly.

"Data on its own provides an incomplete picture of what's going on in a business because it excludes the insights that are locked away in the 85% or more of enterprise information that's actually created by humans - emails, collaboration tools, documents, call center logs, open ended surveys and PDFs," said Sid Probstein, CTO at Attivio. "The QlikView Attivio integration takes Big Data exploration, analysis and usage to a new level and makes answering ‘what' and ‘why' business questions a lot easier."

Ali Riaz shares secrets to success for high-growth, market-driven maturity

The entrepreneurship ecosystem in the US is growing fast with more companies founded every day, yet the overwhelming majority of startups fail. This Sunday, Harvard Business School will host the 10th Annual Entrepreneurship Conference themed "Dream. Build. Grow: The Lifecycle of a Startup." Seasoned entrepreneurs, investors and experts will discuss first-hand experiences — successes and failures — in each step of the lifecycle of a startup.

Attivio CEO, Ali Riaz, will share how Attivio quickly advanced from a privately backed startup to a thriving business, driving more than 100 percent revenue growth each year since its founding in 2007.

Most recently, Attivio received $34 million in new growth capital from Oak Investment Partners and renewed commitment from initial investors, Per-Olof Söderberg and Tenth Avenue Holdings. Known for its unique method of joining multiple content and data sources so companies can gain insight that would be missed by legacy systems, Attivio's new round of financing supports the company's continued growth and broadens the network that helps bring disruptive, game-changing technology to the global marketplace.

Riaz will join Peter Cannone (OnForce), Abhi Shah (Clutch Group), and Dan O'Keefe (Technology Crossover Ventures) for the "Raising Growth Capital" panel to discuss how high-growth companies raise large rounds of capital to pursue growth initiatives or to recapitalize existing shareholders. Riaz and the other panelists will discuss the key considerations that go into raising these rounds and how various parties — companies, growth equity firms, investment banks, and lawyers — work together to complete these transactions.
