Attivio Teams up with Capax Global

September 4, 2013

Attivio has signed up another partner, this time a leader in search. PR Newswire reveals, “Capax Global and Attivio Announce Strategic Reseller Partnership.” The move will help Capax Global’s customers smoothly shift from conventional enterprise search to the more comprehensive unified information access (UIA) approach. The press release quotes Capax Global CEO and managing director John Baiocco:

“We have seen a natural shift towards UIA as our enterprise search customers contend with massive volumes of information, coming from multiple sources, in different formats. Traditional approaches are no longer adequate in dealing with the scale and complexity of enterprise information. Attivio leads the industry in addressing the demands of big data volume, variety, and velocity that our customers face.”

David Schubmehl, research director at analysis firm IDC, also weighs in on the importance of UIA:

“Unified information access is the next logical progression beyond enterprise search as companies face unprecedented volumes of disparate information, of which 85 percent or more is unstructured. Because UIA platforms can integrate large volumes of information across disconnected silos, technologies like AIE have become a key enabler for big data analytics and decision support.”

Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Massachusetts, Attivio also has offices in other U.S. states, the U.K., Germany, and Israel. The company’s award-winning Active Intelligence Engine integrates structured and unstructured data, making it easier to translate information assets into useful business insights.

Capax Global celebrates its 20th birthday this year, making it a veteran in the search field. The privately-held company, based in New York, offers consulting services, custom implementations, and cloud-hosting services. An emphasis on its clients’ unique business objectives is no doubt part of its appeal for its many customers, which include Fortune 500 companies and major organizations around the world.
