Unlike traditional business intelligence (BI), unified information access (UIA) enables access and analysis of not only structured data, but also unstructured data and content (documents, email, web pages, etc.) combined. UIA provides complete, 360-degree business insights that not only answers "what" but also "why." Discover UIA now in our 4-minute video.

Attivio is an enterprise software company passionate about breaking down the information silos that exist inside companies and bringing all of that content and data together in a single, unified information access platform we call the Active Intelligence Engine.

In this whiteboard video, Attivio CTO Sid Probstein provides an overview of Unified Information Access and how it applies to the enterprise.

UIA platforms, such as the Attivio Active Intelligence Engine, are helping companies break down the information silos within their enterprise.

Unlike most search engines, Attivio has been designed from the beginning to promote agile, rapid deployment. Implementations are measured in days and weeks, not months or longer. Attivio implementations are often in practice no more than 20 percent of the license fee, which minimizes migration costs.

With Attivio, you will always have fully tested and certified support for Linux, Solaris, and all the popular portal standards. Our pricing model is simple and clear: one price for departmental use, another for the entire enterprise. There are no usage costs (index size, query volume, etc.) that necessitate audits and make it difficult to determine annual budgets.

We are committed to maintaining our thought leadership in enterprise search and the larger, more comprehensive Unified Information Access (UIA) market.

Through its ODBC and JDBC drivers and full SQL support, Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) seamlessly integrates with the TIBCO Spotfire analytics platform, so companies across a wide range of industries can access and visualize all required information to address their most daunting "imagine-if" business challenges. In combination, AIE and TIBCO Spotfire give customers unprecedented capabilities to effectively analyze fully integrated content and data to drive decisions that improve financial performance, reduce overhead, drive new product innovations, and reduce time to market.

Despite advances made through adoption of the ITIL framework and IT services management tools, organizations still face unacceptable incident resolution times, escalation rates, staff frustration and support costs. In order to resolve issues and address problems, support staff typically must access multiple silos of information — not just the structured data that ITIL and ITSM tools address, but content from system logs, vendor documentation, wikis, PDFs, SharePoint, websites and more.

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.

By combining key capabilities of enterprise search and business intelligence (BI), Attivio Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) provides the information infrastructure that addresses the short-comings of traditional BI solutions. AIE provides access to all types of information, regardless of format and includes text analytics, faster data updates and richer, more flexible dashboards that are much easier to enhance and extend than traditional BI.

AIE's union of search and BI features includes SQL support so queries can be as simple as search terms or as sophisticated as any BI query. AIE also has both a ODBC and a JDBC driver, which allows your existing BI applications to pull information directly from the AIE index.

Traditional information access technologies like enterprise search don't break silos. They primarily make it easier to find what you're looking for in a single silo, using a pull model.

Because you need to go out and search for specific information, it's easy to miss something important. And this approach doesn't help to analyze information or discover patterns in the data. To intervene on issues early, to dazzle customers, seize opportunities and control risks and costs, you need systems that support proactivity, agility and insight.

In this short video demonstration, Attivio CTO Sid Probstein explains the features and benefits of Attivio's Active Dashboard, which continuously delivers real-time, role specific information to users.

Social media is changing the way companies react to the latest trends in the marketplace with regards to their products and services.

Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) is being used by companies to couple what is being said about their product and services in the social mediasphere with their own internal enterprise content and data.

Watch this demonstration, built for Accenture, that shows how Attivio AIE can be used to power a SocialCRM application that combines unstructured content from the web with structured data from the Salesforce CRM platform to provide new insights and trend detection.

When your customers call your company with a problem or seeking information, do your service representatives have a single view into all of the relevant information about that customer?

Are your employees able to access the critical information about your clients from all your enterprise data resources, whether it's contained in emails, documents, databases or the web?

Using Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) to power voice of the customer solutions, companies are able to provide improved customer service which translates into better retention, increased sales opportunities and reduced costs in systems maintenance, licensing and development.

Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) is the first platform that utilizes a universal index to provide a search-like interface that gives you a single view into all your different sources of content and data. Our patented query-time JOIN capabilities allow users to search across their full enterprise data landscape with a single query and retrieve results that are relevant and related to their query.

Using the power of the relationships in your content and data, a schema-agnostic search index and flexible workflows and APIs, AIE provides an easy interface for exploring your enterprise content and helping you connect the dots and find the answers that will help drive better business decisions.

At the recent Forensics Expo in Europe, Robert Milne, retired Forensics Intelligence Manager from Scotland Yard stopped by the Attivio-SLTN booth and shared some of his insights on the explosion of big data and how it is impacting the technology and processes in use today. For example:

• Did you know that approxiamately 80% of forensics material doesn't even make it into the laboratory?
• SLTN is servicing over 27 countries worldwide and is a true innovator in this space.
• The money saved in analyst time alone pays for the investment, many times over, in advanced data forensics technology.
