Despite BI's advances, companies continue to struggle in responding quickly to a continuously evolving information landscape and the need for ease of information access that business users require. And big data technologies address sheer volume, but not the variety, velocity and complexity now referred to as extreme information.

Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine (AIE) 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 delivers insight and access into the business activity that is most important to each user's particular function and corporate directive.

AIE is the only UIA platform that offers full SQL and ODBC/JDBC connectivity to support seamless integration with popular BI tools such as Business Objects, Cognos, Jaspersoft, QlikView, Tableau, TIBCO Spotfire, etc. AIE joins and exposes structured data and unstructured content, enabling the use of BI tools to create new dashboards and visualizations for brand new business insights that matter.

"CSC has 50 years of experience delivering successful BI and data warehousing solutions using leading tools such as IBM Cognos, SAP Business Objects, SAS, Informatica, QlikView and Oracle. We view Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine as a strategic complement to these technologies..."
