Attensity Delivers Open Source Architecture to Enable Text Analytics Across the Enterprise

New Software Developers' Kit Facilitates Integration of Text Analytics into User's Framework

PALO ALTO, Calif., August 8, 2005 -- Attensity, the innovator in software applications that analyze text, today announced the release of Attensity SDK, its first Software Developers' Kit. Attensity SDK opens Attensity's technology architecture to developers via a Java application program interface (API). It enables developers to conduct text analytics in real time from any application that currently exists within the enterprise, such as customer relationship management, web and search applications. Attensity SDK ultimately empowers business users with the text analytics extraction capabilities of Attensity Server, enabling them to leverage the valuable, sometimes hidden, information residing in their unstructured data.

"We're excited with the release of our first Software Developers' Kit," said Craig Norris, chief executive officer of Attensity. "Our Attensity SDK allows developers to leverage open standards to access the powerful applications of Attensity Server. Our goal is to continuously improve upon the text analytics capabilities we offer our current and future customers. The release of our powerful Attensity SDK supports this commitment by making it easier for users to access our next-generation text mining technologies."

Attensity Server provides the unique ability to extract high value, hard-to-access text information about relationships between people, places and things. Unlike other data analytics solutions, which typically use a statistical approach to analyzing text and only provide a narrow understanding of the information, Attensity Server grasps the nuances, relationships and context of everyday language. By analyzing the relationships between words, Attensity Server delivers a rich and accurate picture of the text, while guaranteeing security and superior performance.

Attensity SDK enables developers not only to access existing software applications that leverage the Attensity text extraction engines, but to create custom applications as well. These applications can also run Attensity's text analytics extraction engines in real-time.

Attensity SDK features a Java API. Developers send text to the core Attensity engine, to facilitate analysis by the Attensity software extraction engines. Data is then generated from that text in an XML format in addition to the creation of a traditional relational database.

"Attensity's move to provide third-party developers access to their core routines is a positive response to an important new vision growing in enterprise, government, and ISV communities," said Hadley Reynolds, vice president and director of research at Delphi Group. "There is increasing appreciation that advanced text analytics will play a key role in creating a new generation of intelligent applications that merge unstructured information with data from structured sources. We expect to see these approaches become core functionality in processes which require insight into enterprise transactions, customer interactions, and business exchange."

Attensity SDK is available immediately. Interested developers can get more information by sending a request to info@attensity.com.
