A MESSAGE FROM ATTIVIO’S CEOI spent the first ten years of my career hoping that business intelligence, client relationship management and enterprise resource planning applications would help my colleagues and I run our businesses with precisely tailored and timely decisions. In reality, though, all we really got were graphs and tables, so we still had to call around just as in the old days in order to fully understand the causes driving variations — whether for the good or bad. This is because structured data can only tell you WHAT is happening in your organization, but not WHY.

I spent the next ten years in the world of unstructured content and data, analyzing the information in content management systems, support logs, document management systems, emails, documents and the Web.

While this was a great step forward, we still could not figure out what a 10% growth in support calls or more recently what a 15% decline in positive comments in social media and other such findings actually meant in terms of transactional value, because unstructured content on its own, represents just one more piece of the overall picture. In the quest to make the best possible decisions, analyzing structured data and unstructured content independently just results in more questions and more work.

This is the reason we founded Attivio — to create a unified information access platform that correlates every available piece of structured data and unstructured content, enabling our customers to seize opportunities, solve business challenges and fulfill their strategic vision.

Please read on if you wish to learn more about how Attivio has redefined the business impact that information delivers for our customers.

INSIGHT THAT MATTERSThe benefits of unified information access (UIA) can be realized anywhere information is consumed — within a specific team in a company, a client-facing website, a partner support application or any application where someone is looking for knowledge and information.

Attivio’s mission is simply to provide a technology platform that has been built from the ground up to aggregate and distribute data and content in such a way that it provides insight that matters. With this insight, we believe people can make advanced decisions and accelerate their efforts to manage challenges and opportunities. Attivio’s Active Intelligence Engine™ (AIE™), the leading UIA platform converges applications without the need to rip and replace existing tech-nologies. It prepares information so that innate relationships (correlations) are established and delivers it where and when you want to consume it.

“The enterprise of the future will be information centered, requiring an agile adaptable infrastructure to monitor and mine information, understand human language and be more flexible and up-to-date than the traditional database. This new information platform must unite access to all data sources — structured and unstructured.”

“Forget the Query Box: Explore, Discover, Find”, Sue Feldman, IDC

OUTSMART IMPOSSIBLESome of the problems Attivio has helped customers solve had been previously thought to be impossible or far too complex and expensive to address with existing technologies.

We work closely with our customers to reframe complex challenges in the context of the advances we have made in unified information access, through our Active Intelligence Engine.

Attivio’s focus from day one has been to bring information together in a meaningful manner. Today we have a number of clients who will tell you how we have enabled them to do things they didn’t think were possible or that we got to the finish line in a fraction of the time expected.

S E I Z E O P P O R T U N I T I E SSupport analysts at a leading

enterprise deal with thousands of IT incidents, many of which are critical and time-sensitive. Before deploying AIE, the analysts had to manually sift through individual silos of information,

including service databases, vendor documentation, wikis, emails, SharePoint

and more, causing unacceptably high resolution rates.

Attivio worked alongside the company to seize the opportunity – deploying AIE to

give the support team a single unified view into every relevant information source. The cost-per-ticket decreased dramatically and

mean-time-to-resolution was reduced by more than 40%.

S O LV E C H A L L E N G E SA major bank was required to reserve more than $1 billion in cash to guard

against fines that could result if it was found to be in violation of the ever-changing landscape of regulations

governed by more than 200 agencies worldwide. Different parts of the bank

concentrated on local, national, and global regulators, all disparate and in

constant motion.

Attivio worked with the bank to solve their challenge – creating an automated

system to identify changes on regulatory sites and in the news; alert

the appropriate personnel to implement policy changes, via role-specific

dashboards; and provide an audit trail of updates. The money in reserves

reduced by half.

F U L F I L L Y O U R V I S I O NA world-renowned bank that prides itself

on long-term customer relationships had a vision of creating a next-generation,

information portal to enhance their customers’ experience across 40

countries, 50,000 employees and more than 100 separate application sources

of information.

Attivio worked with them to fulfill the vision – converging more than

90 customer-facing and internal applications – all of which gathered

data in different ways – into a single, unified point of entry.

“Attivio greatly differentiates itself from other solutions by embracing and balancing business intelligence and enterprise search capabilities, its patented technology innovations and the depth and experience of its management and development teams.

Hugh McKellar, KMWorld

ATTIVIO’S ACTIVE INTELLIGENCE ENGINE FOR UIAAttivio’s Active Intelligence Engine, the leading unified information access platform, seamlessly indexes, joins and presents structured data (databases) and unstructured content (documents, SharePoint, web, email, etc.).

AIE eliminates information silos while enabling organizations to rapidly fulfill new informational needs. As a result, business users gain real-time business insights that help build revenue, cut costs and increase competitiveness — insights that might otherwise go undiscovered.

Attivio AIE provides an unprecedented level of business understanding and actionable insight, beyond what is possible using business intelligence/data warehousing or enterprise search solutions alone. It empowers business users to easily access and analyze all relevant enterprise information to not only understand what is happening, but to also gain vital context to explain why it is happening. AIE supports the widest range of query options of any enterprise information platform, from simple Google-like keyword search to SQL queries and business intelligence tools.

“Why is it cool? Because it means users can explore the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ in one step ….Attivio enables users who would normally be too intimidated to use an ad hoc query tool, but who are quite comfortable with a search engine, to find the information they need in a structured database.”

EXTREME INFORMATION: COMPLETING THE BIG DATA PICTURE WITH AIEAnalytic database management systems and massively parallel processing address the challenge of large data volumes, but significant gaps exist in their ability to handle the variety and complexity of information necessary to give you the complete picture that drives business insight.

Consider all the sources of unstructured content that contain important information about employee, partner and customer behavior and opinions. There is a wealth of value that is today largely untapped — emails, open-ended survey questions, web forms, call logs, discussion boards, SharePoint and Wiki sites to name just a few.

Attivio completes the big data picture by fulfilling the demands of what Gartner calls Extreme Information — high levels of volume, velocity, variety and complexity.

ATTIVIO ACTIVE INTELLIGENCE ENGINE OVERVIEWAttivio’s Active Intelligence Engine was built from the ground up as a complete unified information access platform designed to:• Integrate, index, join and present all enterprise information• Provide the widest variety of end-user experiences • Enable rapid development and deployment of enterprise-class UIA

applications

All of AIE’s technical layers integrate easily with other enterprise applications and systems using an enterprise service bus and other enterprise messaging infrastructures. AIE utilizes a layered, service oriented architecture (SOA) with event-driven workflows. As one component within an AIE workflow completes desired tasks, system messages are forwarded to the queue of the next component, advancing the workflow through AIE’s technical layers as needed.

Unlike other information systems such as XML databases or legacy search tools that try to retrofit data and content to accommodate the technical limitations of their solutions, AIE’s core infrastructure was purpose-built to provide the most active and agile information management possible, while eliminating the technical boundaries between structured data and unstructured content sources.

“The Active Intelligence

Engine concept is so

simple that it’s a wonder

business users have

managed to live without

it….Most companies have

no idea what they already

know about a customer or

an issue because none of

the data they have can be

harnessed in a way that’s

really useful.”

Page 8: Attivio Company Brochure

UNIVERSAL INDEXAIE ingests all types of structured data and unstructured content, building a schema-less index of unified information that can be accessed with a single query, AIE does not require relationships between any data or content to be defined in advance. AIE ingests structured data on a table-by-table basis, retaining logical structure and data integrity — unlike other information solutions that “flatten” or denormalize databases, severely diminishing their business value.

PATENTED QUERY-TIME JOINAIE’s patented query-time JOIN operator allows selection of relationships across tables, connecting common fields to represent one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many relationships. AIE extends JOIN to include both data and content and to execute at query time, retrieving any sources that include a shared term and ensuring that the most up-to-date information is included.

SQL SUPPORTAIE is the only unified information access platform that supports SQL — the universal query language of data analysis tools. SQL allows precision and complexity far beyond the capabilities of search queries and uses standard operators to apply AIE’s analytical capabilities across disparate sources. Attivio’s AI-SQL extensions go beyond standard SQL — combining the capabilities of relational queries, search queries and analytics.

ODBC/JDBC ConnectivityAttivio’s unique ODBC/JDBC connectivity enables the integration of AIE with popular business intelligence tools, complimenting and expanding your organization’s BI infrastructure investments.

REAL-TIME UPDATESAIE is designed for real-time operation. New documents can be added and made available for search in batches of 100 or 1,000 in less than two seconds. Important individual fields can be updated nearly instantly, even under heavy query load, with no need to re-index the document.

REAL-TIME ACTIONSAny query AIE can execute can be saved as an alert to be run on a scheduled or continuous basis to execute a simple action, like notifying a user via email, or more sophisticated tasks, such as updating a database or triggering a CRM application.

WORKFLOWSCustomizable workflows integrate processing, querying and actions. Workflows can include linear processes, conditional logic (branching), loops for handling embedded objects (e.g., email attachments), multi-node configurations, etc. Time-consuming steps can be offloaded to dedicated hardware asynchronously.

SENTIMENT ANALYSISAIE’s sentiment analysis module extracts and measures positive or negative emotions expressed in a document and for specific entities in a document, producing quantifiable data that can be used in trend analysis, charts, etc.

CLASSIFICATION ENGINEAutomatically categorizes documents using rules or machine-learning-based classification models derived from training documents.
