PALO ALTO, Calif., April 11, 2007 - Attensity™, the leader in text analytics software for business intelligence, today announce Red Herring has nominated the company as a finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award, a selection of the private companies based in North America playing a leading role in innovation and technology.

The Red Herring editorial board surveyed the entrepreneurial scene throughout North America and identified the top 200 out of more than 800 closely evaluated companies leading the next wave of innovation.

"We can see the exciting evolution of the technology sector reflected in the quality and variety of exceptional companies that we had to choose from in putting our list together," said Joel Dreyfuss, editor-in-chief of Red Herring. "It was tough to choose just 200 finalists from such a large list of excellent contenders, and we are very happy with the qualities of the companies we selected as finalists."

Red Herring's nomination quickly follows two major product announcements from Attensity: the flagship text analytics suite Attensity 4 and Attensity LEADS, the Law Enforcement Analyst Desktop Solution. Major manufacturers, airlines and insurance firms as well as government intelligence and law enforcement agencies are among those customers using Attensity's patented technology to enable agents, analysts and executives to uncover critical facts and relationships recorded in freeform text.

"We're honored Red Herring's editors consider us one of the top 200 private technology companies in the United States," Craig Norris, Attensity's CEO, said. "This nomination further validates the choice made by dozens of government and enterprise organizations to employ Attensity's text analytics solution to extract facts from and conduct analysis on their unstructured data."

The winning 100 companies will be announced at the Red Herring Spring event in Monterey, California, on May 1-3.
