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."
