Attivio Active Intelligence Engine's Permissioning Model and Real-Time Updates Prove Key Differentiators in Replacing Leading Search Solution at Traction

Attivio, Inc. today announced that Traction Software, the leading developer of Enterprise 2.0 social software, has chosen the Attivio Active Intelligence Engine ^TM (AIE) to replace its legacy enterprise search solution for easier indexing, retrieval of content and an enhanced user experience. As part of the selection process, Traction evaluated several market-leading solutions before choosing Attivio's unified information access engine for its single, flexible API, full Java support as well as its sophisticated and secure permissioning model.

"Traction Software's award-winning social software enables enterprises and government agencies to share information and collaborate in a secure environment. We needed to partner with an information access company that would enable our users to securely capture and share data across entities from one central repository," said Greg Lloyd, President & Co-Founder of Traction Software. "Attivio was the clear choice for a variety of reasons, including its ability to update information in real-time to ensure the most relevant and current results. AIE improves our users' ability to find content quickly and offers a dramatically smaller footprint than our previous search engine solution."

In addition to needing a secure and flexible solution with granular permissioning that could extract and index text, including attachments - regardless of document form — Traction also needed multi-lingual support for its large overseas customer base, especially in Japan. Attivio again met the challenge, providing robust multi-lingual support superior to Traction's previous solution. Additionally, Traction was impressed with Attivio's real-time field updates and dynamic facet generation, which dramatically improves users' ability to quickly find what they need. AIE is 100 percent Java and runs in its own JVM, so it offers broad platform support for both Java and .Net APIs.

"At Attivio, we pride ourselves on our ability to help our customers and partners rapidly deploy information access solutions that seamlessly integrate into their existing infrastructure," said Ali Riaz, CEO of Attivio. "We are pleased that companies like Traction Software, which have such high standards for speed, ease-of-use and security, continue to choose AIE to power their information access requirements."

Company recognized for innovative unified information access platform

Attivio, Inc. today announced its Active Intelligence Engine^TM (AIE) has been named a KMWorld 2009 Trend-Setting Product. AIE is the first Unified Information Access platform to provide a complete view of the relevant information landscape, using information-driven workflow and real-time updates to deliver insight on all types of content, when and where it is needed. With AIE, applications and solutions provide users with precise, structured analytics and conceptual, linguistic exploration in any context, independent of the structure of the underlying data.

"We are honored to be named a KMWorld 2009 Trend-Setting Product for the second year in a row," said Ali Riaz, CEO of Attivio. "The Attivio Active Intelligence Engine provides the precision of SQL and the fuzziness of search in a way that continues to differentiate us in the marketplace. The selection of the AIE platform for this list illustrates the growing demand from business users for a sophisticated unified information access platform that is agile, efficient, easy to use and secure. With the recent release of version 1.5, AIE will further advance and transform the way information is indexed and distributed within the enterprise."

The updated version of AIE offers modules for Classification, Sentiment and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), as well as significant new features including high-availability ingestion and querying, guaranteed indexing and next-generation security.

AIE v1.5's enhanced security model eliminates the need for an enterprise search engine plus a relational database to manage complex document-level permissioning by storing content, groups and users as separate tables in its Universal Index. This allows significant cost savings and near-real-time access control updates because there is no need to re-index as changes occur.

"More than 800 products were assessed by the judging panel and all those selected clearly demonstrate identifiable technology breakthroughs," said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor-in-chief. "Undeniably, Attivio is at the forefront of its industry and continues to spark innovation with its AIE platform, offering a state-of-the-art platform for unified information access."
