Actian and Attivio OEM Agreement Accelerates Big Data Business Value by Integrating Big Content

NEWTON, Mass. and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Attivio, creator of the award-winning Active Intelligence Engine (AIE®) and Actian, a leader in next-generation big data analytics, today announced a strategic OEM agreement. The agreement gives Actian customers the power to integrate and correlate human-generated, unstructured content sources with their structured data analytics to dramatically increase the return on their information assets.

Actian's ParAccel Big Data Analytics Platform accelerates analytic performance and enables rapid deployment of highly targeted analytics for critical initiatives including customer segmentation, fraud prevention, risk avoidance and digital marketing optimization. The addition of Attivio AIE's ability to include Big Content sources – social media, blog posts, email, research documents, SEC filings, insurance reports, legal depositions, open-ended survey responses and more – completes the Big Data analytics picture to greatly improve its impact and value.

With its patented query-time JOIN technology, Attivio AIE delivers unrivaled access to information from internal and external human-created information, so customers can integrate, correlate, access and analyze all of their assets, regardless of format. As a result, business users gain new, real-time business insights that help build revenue, cut costs, increase competitiveness and manage risk — insights that might otherwise go undiscovered.

"Big Content has become a vital piece in the Big Data puzzle," said David Schubmehl, Research Director, IDC. "The majority of enterprise information created today is human-generated, but legacy systems have traditionally required processing structured data and unstructured content separately. The addition of Attivio AIE to Actian ParAccel provides an extremely cost-effective option that delivers impressive performance and value."

"Through this alliance with Attivio, our customers now have access to all internal and external sources of unstructured content, solidifying our leadership position in the Big Data space," said Fred Gallagher, VP Strategic Business for Actian. "With Attivio, we are giving customers more options and making this technology accessible to companies who recognize the value of innovation that is simply not available from legacy big stack vendors who typically impose expensive, long-term contracts, inflexible technology and long deployment times."

"Actian ParAccel delivers high-performance analytics on massive amounts of data," said Sid Probstein, CTO at Attivio. "Being able to access and analyze outside sources from social media to any and all types of human-created content provides a complete and detailed view of customers and their requirements. It advances the entire field of BI and analytics."
