We look forward to taking advantage of the Command Center on an ongoing basis and around other special events."

This year's EMC World will focus on Big Data's transformation of business and the responsibility of designing, building and operating advanced IT environments. "We are very excited that EMC chose to debut the Attensity Command Center at this important event involving thousands of EMC customers," said Rebecca MacDonald, vice president of marketing at Attensity. "This innovative use of social media analytics is a great example of EMC's industry leadership in harnessing the voice of social customers to drive its business forward."

In addition to EMC World, the Attensity Social Media Command Center will be used to analyze social media conversations about EMC and its customers during the U.S. Open golf tournament to take place June 11-17 at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. EMC is a sponsor of the tournament.

The Attensity Command Center pulls data from over 150 million social media and online sources, including the full Twitter Firehose, Facebook, forums, blogs, online news, video sites, review sites and more. Using Attensity's semantic technology, this data is filtered, tagged and enriched in real time to identify key business metrics, then delivered via dynamic reports displayed on multiple large screens on the conference floor. The application goes beyond social media monitoring to:

• Deliver a real-time view of the conversations that are happening right now across millions of social sources.
• Identify the trends developing in those conversations, before they become issues.
• Accurately analyze sentiment around key topics and themes.
• Identify and extract detailed insights including demographic and geographic data, influencer scores, and more.
