451 Group Market Development Report: Attivio cranks core engine as it drives search-based apps business forward

Authored by Nick Patience, 451 Group

Attivio has released version 2.1 of the Active Intelligence Engine (AIE) as it strives to compete with larger enterprise search firms while also carving out a niche for itself as one of the main proponents of search-based applications – that is, applications that are built on top of a search engine, rather than solely a relational database (although they often work alongside a database).

Attivio has enhanced its core AIE to version 2.1, adding support for SQL and enhanced security features, while continuing to rack up some major customer wins.
