Press Release
Tuesday, March 2, 2010, Company Release

Attivio, Inc. today announced that Diversified Business Communications, a global publishing, eMedia and trade events company, has selected the Attivio Active Intelligence EngineT (AIE) to improve the search experience of its publication websites, automate the processes for pushing content into its Content Management System (CMS) and bring more than five years worth of archive editions online.

Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine provides the ability to rapidly make all content fully searchable by combining disparate data sources into a single index. The unified index also creates a common platform to develop a standard search interface, automated facet recommendation, alerts and improved relevancy throughout Diversified's websites. The new sites will incorporate linguistics capabilities, including dynamic facet recommendation and spell checking, to improve the reader's experience; concept and entity extraction to automate search engine optimization; automatic page linking to create hyperlinks as relevant content is added; multi-lingual support and tunable relevancy to emphasize more recent content as well as preferred data sources.

"Revenue models, distribution methods, and production tools continue to change, but the skilled work of writers, photographers, and editors is what differentiates quality publishers like Diversified Communications", said Ali Riaz, CEO of Attivio. "We are very pleased to have been chosen to help them continue to improve their readers' experience, more effectively leverage archive content and drive even greater agility in their operations."

Diversified previously used a hosted solution but wanted to upgrade its ability to search, analyze and leverage its archive data and print publications. Attivio's flexible workflow and ability to integrate with third party resources and technologies make it possible to easily adapt existing publishing processes to the online world. To further enhance Diversified Communications' position as a valued resource for readers, Attivio's standard database connectors and scheduling capabilities made it possible to integrate with its existing content management system and access third party white-list content.

The first of Diversified's publication sites, Workboat.com, went live in less than 6 weeks from initiation, followed closely by IntegrativePractioner.com and SeafoodSource.com.

"Through Attivio's Active Intelligence Engine we've been able to bring our archived content online quickly and seamlessly and are able to work more easily with third-party content," said Brian Randall, Vice President of eMedia at Diversified Business Communications. "Overall, we've been able to streamline our content population and updating and deliver a more robust search offering to our readers, giving them a far richer experience."

Diversified serves a number of industries including: seafood, food service, natural and organic, commercial marine, and business management.
