Why Attivio: Unified Information Access for Business Agility

Business agility is critical to increasing revenue, cutting costs and gaining competitive advantage. Agile organizations discover and act on opportunities that others miss. They rethink, reframe and resolve business problems to accomplish things others assume are impossible.

Legacy IT infrastructures cannot keep up with extreme new demands for information that now call for on-the-fly integration of data warehouses, big data sources, documents, web content and much more. The solution is unified information access. This is the future...Today!

Attivio drives business agility using the power of UIA, providing new insights and a complete view of your business that other technology infrastructures can't match. Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) seamlessly unifies structured data and unstructured content alike — replacing fragmented silos with the ability to index, join and present all enterprise information, complementing and extending your existing IT investments.

Trusted by Fortune 10 global leaders and innovative startups alike, Attivio's approach to unified information access combines the most vital capabilities of business intelligence (BI), data warehousing, enterprise search, and process automation to bring depth and agility to your business analytics, enterprise applications and websites. Today's global business imperatives — uncovering insights that drive innovation and agility, making smarter decisions faster and mitigating risk — have made Attivio vital to our customers' growth and success.

Aside from the obvious business benefits, integrating information and unifying its access simplifies operations because, with the right solution, both can be accomplished in a single platform. This reduces the complexity of having to manage and maintain several disparate products that each performs a specific function (ETL, reporting, etc.).

The UIA Maturity Model

On one level, the Active Intelligence Engine concept is so simple that it's a wonder business users have managed to live without it this long. After all, most companies have no idea what they already know about a customer or an issues because none of the data they have can be harnessed in a way that's really useful. On the other hand, the concept is so powerful in that it gives users access to a business intelligence dashboard that provides a lot more context than traditionally could be pulled out of a database.
