PALO ALTO, Calif., May 2, 2007 - Attensity™, the leader in text analytics software for business intelligence, today announced that Red Herring has distinguished the company as a 2007 Red Herring 100 Award winner, an honor for outstanding achievements given to the top 100 private technology companies based in North America.
