Unified Information Access Goes Beyond ITIL to Bring Unstructured and Structured Information Together to Replace Time-Wasting, Manual Hunt-and-Gather Efforts

The challenge of managing IT incidents is draining IT staff resources, wasting money and slowing down the resolution process. Attivio, creator of the Active Intelligence Engine™ (AIE), the leading unified information access platform, introduces IT Knowledge Expert — a single, aggregated and fully connected view into all relevant support information. IT Knowledge Expert presents all unstructured content and structured data in one dashboard to resolve IT incidents faster, reduce cost-per-ticket, number of tickets and service level agreement (SLA) penalties and ease the burdens of high employee turnover that plague the IT support industry.

Despite advances made through adoption of the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL®) framework and IT services management (ITSM) tools, to resolve issues support analysts typically must access multiple silos of information — not just structured data that ITIL and ITSM tools address, but content from system logs, vendor documentation, wikis, PDFs, SharePoint, websites and other sources.

The result is prolonged downtimes that lead to lost sales, dissatisfied customers, violated SLAs and low service team morale that ultimately leads to hefty training costs for new hires.

Attivio's IT Knowledge Expert breaks down these silos and easily integrates with existing enterprise systems, enabling secure access, navigation and discovery of all information relevant to a service management issue, including:

• Service databases (known errors, incident/problem/change data, configuration management data, etc.);
• System metrics data;
• Application log files (XML, TXT, etc.) including conditions before, during and after an incident/problem;
• Application manuals, programming documentation, wikis, email and file documents of all types (PDF, MS Word, MS Excel, Visio, etc.) anywhere within or external to the organization, including SharePoint repositories, content management systems, websites and RSS feeds;
• Personnel databases identifying organizational profiles, subject matter experts and key system stakeholders.

"Companies today wage battles with incident resolution times, escalation rates, staff frustration and support costs," said Fred Broussard, Research Director of Enterprise System Infrastructure Software at IDC. "Much of this frustration is a result of time wasted going from silo to silo gathering information and still not receiving the clarity needed to resolve issues. Unified information access can help remove this uncertainty, and potentially do it with the speed and efficiency to enable organizations to solve problems faster and at a lower cost."

Best practices and recommendations for the convergence, joining and presentation of enterprise information with high levels of volume, velocity, variety and complexity are discussed in a new Attivio IT Knowledge Expert whitepaper available here.

"IT Knowledge Expert connects the dots between the multiple databases and repositories used by IT support specialists to resolve incidents, identify problem-solving root causes, manage system changes and avoid ‘system collisions' in ways traditional solutions cannot match," said Sid Probstein, Attivio CTO. "Our customers are seeing reductions in mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) of up to 40%, as well as significant improvements in cost-per-ticket and customer satisfaction."

Inverted Index Establishes Standard for Scalable Approach to Connect Information Across Multiple Silos

Attivio, creator of Active Intelligence Engine™ (AIE), the leading platform for unified information access (UIA), has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 8073840 for "Querying Joined Data Within A Search Engine Index." Attivio's technology retains the structures and relationships found in all types of information, and allows users and applications to exploit these links at query time. Customers can develop new analysis methods that span information silos, and gain insight that would be missed by legacy systems.

"The industry recognizes Attivio's unique and innovative approach to UIA," said Sid Probstein, CTO, Attivio. "Because AIE was built from the ground-up to process and analyze both unstructured and structured data, we provide the true bridge between qualitative and quantitative information. This patent is testament to the accomplished and dedicated team that has made the continuously evolving Active Intelligence Engine a critical asset."

The essence of UIA is the ability to connect current information across silos, seamlessly integrating with existing IT infrastructures, so customers can freely explore, discover and monitor relationships and trends. Attivio AIE's join capability, in combination with its recently announced SQL support and ODBC connectivity fulfills this vision. Without these powerful technology advantages, which are unmatched by any other information management software company, the full potential of UIA cannot be realized.

AIE also makes use of JOIN to deliver the following next-generation capabilities:

• AIE Active Security, which aggregates security information from multiple authorities and provides early-bound resolution of queries without security compromises that result from re-processing documents with embedded ACLs, as is typical with legacy technologies.
• Support for big data analysis that is more "real-time" than other solutions, and where the analysis may need to consider all of the data at once, not just a slice of it.
• Support for goal-oriented graph queries, often used in semantic querying. See details here.
• The ability to find information linked to multiple entities and sources. Names of people, products, locations, and even things like telephone numbers can be linked effortlessly to structured and unstructured data using a single query

"Enterprises need an information platform that unites access to all data sources — structured and unstructured," according to Sue Feldman, Research VP, IDC. "It must enable easy, natural interaction and be accessible to business users across the organization. It must normalize across all sources and formats to uncover the relationships that surface. Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine is one of a new breed of information access platforms that is designed to do exactly this."

Relay's Innovation Engine Solves Inefficiencies for Early Stage Drug Development Stakeholders

Attivio, Inc. announced today that it has been selected by Relay Technology Management to power a new platform that addresses the urgent need in the Life Sciences industry for stakeholders to capture, access, compare and track comprehensive scientific, clinical, transactional, and business information. The company's new Relay Innovation Engine™ removes inefficiencies and complexity for early stage drug development stakeholders from the biotech, pharmaceutical, technology transfer offices, and investment communities.

Relay's scope is unequaled, capturing a comprehensive body of scientific literature, including more than 20 million scientific publications, 8 million patents, 150,000 diseases, and 100,000 clinical trials.

In order to deliver on its vision, Relay's approach required a powerful technology that could efficiently aggregate, analyze and present structured data and unstructured content from diverse information sources, in a manner that would reliably scale, remain data type agnostic, and enable a superior end user experience.

Using AIE, Relay's SaaS solution was produced six months ahead of schedule - requiring only a fraction of the development resources initially projected. For Relay users, similar efficiencies are anticipated. Industry norms suggest that professionals spend 80 percent of time locating relevant information and only 20 percent on actual research. Relay expects to reverse this inefficiency, dramatically reducing the time and effort involved with identifying and analyzing drug assets and targets, driving exponential innovation.

"The flexibility of Attivio's platform and their team's deep subject matter expertise helped us shorten our time-to-market by several orders of magnitude, an achievement we simply did not think was possible given the enormity of the technical challenge," said Brigham Hyde, Ph.D. Managing Director at Relay Technology Management. "Because of this, and through the integration of AIE with Relay's proprietary system architecture, ontologies, and quantification platform, the Relay Innovation Engine streamlines the time and complexity involved in sifting through large data sets and aggregating complex sources so that the life sciences community can perform value-added analysis on their business development decisions."

"Attivio is pleased to be deeply involved with the development of the Relay Innovation Engine, a meaningful solution for healthcare based on our Active Intelligence Engine," said Ali Riaz, Attivio President & CEO. "Companies are realizing the promise of unified information access, especially in critical areas where users need ease and speed of access to vast amounts of information in order to draw meaningful insight to support their decision making."

"The explosive growth of data, which is very often core to the value of today's SaaS/Cloud-based applications, is becoming an increasingly difficult issue for SaaS vendors to economically manage," according to Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Managing Director of THINKstrategies and founder of the Cloud Computing Showplace. "Attivio's UIA platform has become increasingly attractive to SaaS vendors because of the functional challenges of keeping pace with users' escalating data access requirements combined with the time-to-market mandates of intensifying competition within the SaaS/Cloud marketplace."

About Relay Technology Management, Inc.
Relay Technology Management (Relay) is a software analytics company focused on the life sciences industry. Relay's proprietary platform, The Relay Innovation Engine, aggregates scientific and market data in real-time and provides competitive business intelligence to Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical companies and University Technology Transfer Offices. The Relay Innovation Engine analytics platform enables identification of scientific and market trends in drug development in a way never before captured or visualized.

Leading unified information access company, Attivio, suggests alternate approach to all-out ban

"Visionary companies must find ways to change the way e-mail is used; not banish it," commented Sid Probstein, Chief Technical Officer at Attivio in response to widely reported news that a ‘zero email' policy is underway at one of the world's largest IT. Thierry Breton, CEO of British-based Atos, wants to phase out e-mails over the next 18 months. In an interview with the Daily Mail newspaper, Breton maintained most e-mails are irrelevant. To replace electronic messages, he is calling for more phone and in-person conversations. Breton also mentioned the possible use of tightly controlled ‘real time' messaging interfaces.

Probstein offers prescriptive guidance for businesses facing similar challenges. "Workers are drowning in information overload, so Mr. Breton's reaction to the effectiveness and value of e-mail is natural and visceral; but reverting to phone calls and verbal conversations for most internal correspondence is not the answer. The reality is that businesses need to enable efficient collaboration amongst their workers, and they need to preserve and provide access to historical information. Otherwise, they are perpetually re-inventing the wheel each time similar issues arise."

While it's not perfect, e-mail can be an effective tool for capturing knowledge. Every worker, however, has struggled to find an important fact buried in their inbox, locate an old copy of a presentation that includes an important slide, or search for a mobile phone number in an e-mail signature. Leading e-mail applications only offer end-users rudimentary search. They also impose strict mailbox size limits, which, combined with clunky archiving, leads to loss of access to historical data. Worse, support for finding e-mail along other sources is limited, clunky or nonexistent, says Probstein.

Organizations can dramatically reduce e-mail volume by using it where it makes sense, but deploying Traction TeamPage and other advanced Enterprise 2.0 collaboration tools for specific tasks like project management, discussion groups and exception handling. The federal government, for example, has taken this path to reduce e-mail volume. A recent Department of Defense study reported a 50% reduction in time spent on electronic communications management after implementing Traction in a technology testing program.

"The key to effectively managing e-mail is to retain the right information and enable users to control it as they do any other important corporate resource," explains Probstein. He provides tips for end-users to create value from e-mail:

• Link internal correspondence that relates to external communications from customers and partners;
• Use a Unified information access strategy to identify relevant, messages;
• Secure and index e-mails with other important files, E 2.0 collaboration tools, intranet pages, and content from CMS or competitors' websites;
• Discover e-mail through the normal process of search, running reports, or monitoring dashboards.
• Automate email surveillance to guard against regulatory compliance and security risks.

Responding to increasing demand for an advanced unified information access platform that complements and extends existing BI and big data technologies, providing access to diverse information, Attivio announced its Active Intelligence Engine™ (AIE) 3.0. AIE is the industry's most powerful UIA platform for rethinking business challenges, reframing approaches and solving problems previously thought to be impossible.

Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine seamlessly unifies disparate content and data, so companies across a wide range of industries can address their most daunting "imagine-if" business challenges.

Examples of Attivio's organizational impact across multiple vertical industries include:

• Helping a leading global bank mitigate risk and reduce exposure to fines and penalties, reducing cash reserve requirements by $50 million
• Working with a government agency and predictive analytics partner to identify individuals who might be inclined toward high-risk behavior
• Providing an institutional investment firm with a multi-channel/multi-device application for accessing proprietary research anytime, anywhere

Despite BI's advances, companies continue to struggle with responding quickly to a continuously evolving information landscape and the need for ease of information access business users require. Big data technologies address sheer volume, but not the variety, velocity and complexity now referred to as extreme information. Attivio AIE 3.0 gets to the heart of these problems by supporting the right information access method for every user in the enterprise — search queries and role-based dashboards for mainstream business users, existing BI investments for power users, and new applications that blur the lines between these worlds. AIE 3.0 delivers insight and access into the business activity that is most important to each user's particular function and corporate directive.

"Attivio AIE 3.0 takes unified information access to a more personalized level by supporting the right access method for every enterprise user. We are thrilled when we see our customers achieve results that improve financial performance, reduce overhead, drive new product innovations, and reduce time to market," said Sid Probstein, Attivio Chief Technology Officer. "AIE gives forward-thinking business managers the personalized and hands-on access they need to make quicker decisions and deliver meaningful value."

AIE 3.0 now offers the most accessible and standards-based approach to analytics of any UIA platform. Through its JDBC and newly announced ODBC drivers and full SQL support, AIE seamlessly integrates with virtually any BI tool. Customers can now leverage the powerful capabilities of tools like Tableau, MicroStrategy, QlikView, Jaspersoft, Cognos, Business Objects and many more - bringing the rich context of unstructured content to users of the most cutting-edge BI, visualization and analysis tools.

Attivio AIE 3.0 provides:

• SQL via ODBC and JDBC to seamlessly add unstructured content and text analytics to any existing BI infrastructure
• Active Dashboard Tookit for rapid creation of unified discovery-enabled analytic dashboards
• Dynamic integration of sources like SharePoint, Documentum, Exchange, etc.
• Google-like searchability, as well as SQL-powered dashboards
• Schema-less design that dramatically reduces the time to onboard new sources

"The challenges emerging from the growth of 'big data,' as well as business demand for more flexible, timely and well governed information in support of new use cases, is causing existing approaches to information infrastructure to break," according to Mark Beyer, Gartner Research VP. "Organizations that establish a road map toward a cohesive, application-independent and information source-independent set of information management technology capabilities are best positioned to support long-term enterprise information management (EIM) goals. Look for common ways to normalize and extract meaning from all types of content so that it can be exchanged across the organization."

"Achieving relevant and timely insight from disparate enterprise information can be a challenge using traditional stand-alone approaches such as BI, search tools and data analytics," said Fahim Siddiqui, Chief Product Officer, IntraLinks. "Attivio removes the obstacles to achieving this, allowing customers like IntraLinks to evolve our thinking on how to address information challenges. AIE 3.0 will help IntraLinks continue to deliver on our promise of providing fast, flexible and direct access to the right types of results that business users need."

Company Launches Frankfurt and London Operations to Meet Growing Demand for Unified Information Access

Attivio, the industry leader in unified information access, announced the opening of two new offices in Frankfurt and London to support the company's fast growing European customer base. With its expanding global partner network and the addition of these new locations, Attivio, headquartered just outside of Boston, MA, now has a direct presence in 11 countries, with more soon to follow.

What was initially referred to as Big Data is increasingly being called Extreme Information, representing not just the growing volume of data, but also the variety, velocity and complex analytic requirements that are crippling traditional approaches to information management. Because the insight required for today's business challenges is trapped in separate silos of structured and unstructured data — databases, text files, emails, PDFs, SharePoint, CRMs and more — critical knowledge is delayed, hard to explore or missed all together. By unifying and automating delivery of essential information, decision-makers can better identify risks and opportunities, reduce operational costs, improve customer retention and outpace the competition.

Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine™ (AIE) provides customers with unequaled access to relevant and timely Extreme Information. By combining rapid integration with a single real-time view of multiple data sources, users gain meaningful insight to their core challenges when it matters - at the convergence of business decisions and actions.

Commenting on the company's global expansion, Attivio CEO Ali Riaz said, "These additions underscore Attivio's commitment to building our presence in markets where we are experiencing strong demand for our Active Intelligence Engine, a logical next step given its broad linguistic capabilities. Across borders, cultures and languages, the common denominator that defines our customers is that they dare to think differently about their challenges and opportunities, recognizing that legacy approaches simply cannot meet their needs today and into the future."
