June 19, 2014

Informatica World’s theme for 2014 is “The Power of Data” and what better person to be there than Attivio? According to Virtual Strategy: “Attivio Showcases Active Intelligence Engine At Informatica World 2014.” Attivio is known for the industry’s leading big content platform Active Intelligence Engine (AIE).

AIE was designed to give its users in short time spurts so they can unlock the data’s greatest potential.

” ‘We’re changing the way enterprises think about their information sources and how they integrate Big Content,” said Sid Probstein, Attivio’s CTO. “The majority of information produced today is human-created such as emails, documents, CRM case notes and social media. Our patented technology delivers rich analytic insight from unifying these sources rather than analyzing structured data and unstructured content separately.’ “

Targeting structured and unstructured data from the cloud and onsite servers is one of Attivio’s key components. It also makes an ideal way to complement for the Informatica Intelligent Data Platform. The ones who really make out from the two software are big content users. It empowers companies to use their data to the fullest capabilities and make better business decisions. Attivio is positioning itself to do something more than being a basic big data provider. The new buzzword is big content. What’s next?

AIIM Conference 2014 Highlights SharePoint

April 11, 2014

At AIIM Conference 2014 Roberto Yglesias led a session about empowering users through ECM. CMS Wire gives a rundown of the session in their article, “How to Win with SharePoint #AIIM14.”

The article relays Yglesias’ thoughts on SharePoint:

“’When SharePoint is deployed well, in my opinion it is the most complete collaboration tool out there,’ said Yglesias. ‘Great examples are when it’s used for project collaboration like the one we’ll be speaking about or when it’s used for team and department sites within an Intranet. Its features of offline synchronization using OneDrive for Business and the integration into Office makes it the perfect tool for productive collaboration, not to mention everything else users don’t care about but IT does such as retention policies, etc.’”

Stephen E. Arnold often has the same opinion about SharePoint. While competitors are growing in number and strength, a well-design and customized SharePoint implementation is still a great solution. On his Web site, ArnoldIT.com, Arnold puts his expertise to use by providing the best SharePoint tips, tricks, and news coverage available.

March 27, 2014

SharePoint Conference 2014 was full of announcements, plans, and projections. Users and managers kept an eye on the program hoping to see updates that would improve ease of use and overall efficiency. One such announcement projected an upcoming unified compliance tool. Read more in the Fierce Content Management article, “Compliance, Video Portals Could Shake SharePoint Partners.”

Developer partners have long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with SharePoint when it comes to add-ons for the enterprise, but the article says that might be about to change:

“But compliance and video updates unveiled at last week’s SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas, could unnerve some of the partners on which Microsoft relies. During the event Microsoft teased its forthcoming Unified Compliance Center, which builds upon compliance tools found in Exchange and allows them to be leveraged seamlessly across all tools in Office 365. The tool will allow for multifactor authentication to facilitate not just eDiscovery but true auditing and compliance enforcement.”

Stephen E. Arnold is a longtime leader in search and gives a lot of attention to SharePoint on his Web site, ArnoldIT.com. He often finds that customization and critical add-ons are key to a successful SharePoint deployment, so this announcement will really up that capability for most users.

Major Topics for the Word Economic Forum Predicted by Digimind

February 12, 2014

The article titled What to Expect From the World Economic Forum 2014 on Digimind’s Blog predicts the major themes of the WEF in advance of its start. The WEF is an independent organization committed to stimulating communication and engagement among political, business and academic leaders worldwide. The content processing company, Digimind, explains what can be expected by the trending buzzwords from Digimind Social’s wordcloud. The article states,

“As the business, political, academic and other leaders of society descend on the Swiss Alpine town today, we can exclusively reveal that the Global Risks talks, focusing on the global economy, are being buzzed about the most online. With words like ‘Rich,’ ‘Poor,’ and ‘Inequality’ appearing frequently… it is not hard to deduce that the global wealth divide and income inequality will feature heavily, especially given Oxfam’s recent report…claiming that the 85 richest people on the planet own nearly half of global wealth.”

Other key concepts include Madrid’s mayor Ana Botella, a divisive politician whom many Spanish twitter users have lambasted for incompetency. Besides income inequality, the major issue at hand, Iran also figures on the list, along with Syria and Oxfam. As these topics are addressed, Digimind promises to update its audience. This bold move by Digimind invites speculation about the accuracy of their predictions.
