QlikTech and Attivio Team to Combine Unified Information Access with Self-Service Business Intelligence

NEWTON, Mass., April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Attivio today announced it has partnered with QlikTech to deliver a powerful approach to rapid deployment and development for customers seeking self-service BI and access to disparate structured and unstructured information sources throughout the enterprise. Through the combined power of the Attivio Active Intelligence Engine® (AIE®) and QlikTech's QlikView Business Discovery platform, this partnership provides critical business insight and empowers innovative decision making by giving users the ability to access, manage and interact with all relevant information, regardless of its source or format.

Additionally, Attivio has struck separate agreements with a number of leading QlikView solution providers, including Project Brokers and Visual Data Group. These agreements provide opportunities to expand reach across multiple shared markets, including banking and financial services, life sciences, manufacturing, technology and the energy sector, and drive adoption of unified information access (UIA) and self-service BI globally.

"This partnership with QlikTech and agreements with two premier solution providers offer our customers the opportunity to capitalize on Attivio's ability to tap into the incredibly valuable sources of information that exist in unstructured content for critical business insight," said Peter McQuade, vice president of Alliances and Partner Sales at QlikTech. "Business intelligence should empower business users, simplifying decision-making across the entirety of an organization. Accessing fully integrated data sources is a significant advantage in achieving self-serve efficiency, unencumbered by the complexity of legacy approaches."

QlikTech's powerful, accessible Business Discovery solution bridges the gap between traditional business intelligence (BI) solutions and standalone office productivity applications. Its QlikView Business Discovery platform enables intuitive user-driven analysis that can be implemented in days or weeks rather than months, years, or not at all. QlikView Business Discovery works with existing BI applications and adds new capabilities: insight for everyone, zero-wait analysis, mobility, an app–like model, remixability and reassembly and a social and collaborative experience. 

"Attivio's value in quickly unifying and accessing the traditionally separate silos of enterprise data and content is resonating across an increasingly large group of customers and industries," said Sid Probstein, CTO of Attivio. "This partnership combines QlikView's strength of easy-to-use business intelligence with unified information access from Attivio. As a result, business users will more readily gain insight to their enterprise information that yields actionable insight and results."

"We are seeing a growing and urgent demand among our customer base for a solution that supports the analysis of unstructured content and data sources such as news, social media, and sources from behind the corporate firewall like email and SharePoint," said Daren Cox, CEO at Project Brokers. "Attivio is the only UIA platform that can provide that analysis and integrate with QlikView to bring our users a fully integrated view into all of their information resources in intuitive, visually impressive dashboards."

Attivio will be attending the QlikTech Qonnections Global Partner Summit, April 22-25 at the Fontainebleau, Miami Beach.  To arrange a meeting, please contact Jamie Kreppein at [email protected] or +1.781.771.6892.
