PALO ALTO, Calif., January 30, 2006 - Attensity, the innovator in Text Analytics software solutions, released the third major version of its application for investigating facts mined from unstructured text using Attensity's patented Extraction Engines.

Attensity Discover 3.0 provides business and government users a single application to both parse unstructured text and rapidly discover what it contains. This release enables customers to quickly and easily structure datasets from within the application, adds capabilities to conduct deeper analysis with insights found through tabular views, and provides users with an improved text viewer.

With this latest release, Attensity also has become the first Text Analytics company to support Apple's Mac OS X "Jaguar," "Panther," and "Tiger" operating systems.

"Attensity is proud to extend the capabilities of Attensity Discover while supporting additional platforms," said Craig D. Norris, Attensity's chief executive officer. "Attensity Discover 3.0 has become a one-stop shop for text discovery. It doesn't require knowledge engineering, so business users can upload, parse and explore their text in minutes. One of our government customers extracted and analyzed 15 years of backlogged intelligence in less than three days without any special linguistic expertise."

Attensity Discover 3.0 uses sophisticated linguistic technologies to extract the facts from unstructured text and organize those facts into a relational database. Each row in the table represents an event, and each column an attribute of that event, such as location, time, action, or actor.

New features enable users to view and export raw text when an insight is found using the "Actors, Actions and Objects" tabular view of the text. Attensity also optimized wildcard queries and counts by records to better help customers find facts, track trends, and tag threats.

"Organizations can no longer ignore the vast amounts of information stored as freeform text," said Marcia Kaufman, partner, Hurwitz & Associates. "There is strategic information buried in everything from customer emails to service records to surveillance reports. Making this information actionable will save businesses and governmental organizations time, money and - in some cases - lives."

Attensity's Discover application has been nominated for Software Development magazine's Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards, to be announced March 15 during SD West 2006. For the past 15 years, the Jolt awards have been presented annually to showcase products that have "jolted" the industry with their significance.

Attensity Discover 3.0 can be purchased directly through Attensity. Additionally, Teradata or IBM sales representatives can discuss comprehensive analytic solutions that integrate Attensity's technology into data management and business intelligence systems.
