Enterprise Search Replacement Solution Brief
Strategies for innovating with cognitive search
LEAVE LEGACY SEARCH BEHIND
When Microsoft ended support for its FAST enterprise search platform, it left a lot of companies in the lurch. But it also presented an opportunity to re-evaluate their search options and gain critical functionality missing from FAST.
Attivio offers a proven migration path with the quickest time to value. With the Attivio Cognitive Search Platform, you can upgrade your search-based applications, without requiring a big hardware footprint. A leader in the cognitive search space, Attivio offers an innovative solution to the challenge of legacy applications.
Our customers’ success says it all. National Instruments replaced Microsoft FAST with the Attivio Platform to power its eCommerce, Intranet, and CRM search. The Attivio Platform provided a superior cost-benefit profile and a much faster time-to-value than competing search providers.

UPGRADE TO COGNITIVE SEARCH
Beyond a completely compatible FAST migration, you also need an innovative system that scales with your business. With modern, cognitive technology, the Attivio Platform offers:
- Advanced capabilities. The Attivio Platform combines self-learning technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and a knowledge graph to create a search and discovery solution at big data scale.
- Broad connectivity. With connectors to 100+ enterprise data sources across 500+ file formats and a full set of API frameworks, Attivio provides complete connectivity for any information source.
- Best-in-class security. Attivio’s approach to security mimics the way security works in a database and ensures that users only see the information they have permission to see. Even better, it uses your existing protocols and methods.
