Secure, Scalable Web Feed Server
Lightweight Virtual Appliance: Installs quickly and simply.
RSS proxy server: Aggregates all of the enterprise RSS feeds in one place, removing the need for individual aggregators per computer.
Zero-install deployment: No clients are required; users can read their RSS feeds via a Web application or via their Microsoft Exchange account. Optionally, a full featured Outlook client is available for additional functionality.
Tiered Administrator Permissions To Empower Teams: Internet accessible tools provide quick and easy end user provisioning and system integration. Simply define users and groups and then channel the specific Web feeds for each. With tiered administration, IT administrators can create an unlimited number of administrators with permissions ranging from read-only access to full system control. Distributing administration responsibilities makes it easy to empower department managers, and team leaders to subscribe, channel and monitor web feeds for their specific needs. Users and groups can be imported from LDAP directories or created specifically on the feed server. Users and groups are searchable to make it easy to find and assign admin and user permissions in large organizations.
Channel Feeds to Secure Web Reader, MS Outlook, IBM Lotus Sametime Instant Messaging and Mobile Devices: Team members can receive, track and manage their information in a powerful Outlook based feed reader. Time sensitive, actionable feeds can be channeled to Sametime instant messaging and to mobile phones. AttentionStream synchronization keeps feeds and articles up to date no matter where they are accessed.
Advanced Security and Secure Feed Support Administrators have the ability to strip out potentially malicious attachments and to set up lists of blocked feeds and attachments. Flexible filtering allows server and Outlook client filtering of feeds and articles containing iFrames, CSS, and java scripting. Administrators can set permission levels to allow or block attachements and scripting. Define secure autheniticated feeds on a per group basis to keep private data private.
Real-time AttentionStream™ Synchronization: Real-time synchronization with internal web based RSS Reader, Exchange inbox, instant messaging and mobile devices. Articles read, filed and deleted are treated consistently across all of the clients. Immediate delivery of RSS feeds to a mobile device (Blackberry Server, GoodLink or Microsoft Exchange Activesync is required).
Browsable Feed Library Feeds can be neatly organized using categories and sub-categories to create a logical taxonomy. Users with permission can browse through the enterprise feed library to create their own custom reading lists.
Effortlessly Create Custom Feeds and Publish Content Using Email Clients With the newest version of the Attensa Feed Server users can publish and distribute Web feeds using their email client. Users can easily create custom feeds and use their email client to write and forward content to the newly created feeds. Content can be added to the feed as easily as forwarding an email.
Enhanced AttentionStream™ Reporting and Searchable Attention Analytics Reports: Managers, team leaders and admins can access new reports based on Attensa's unique AttentionStream analytics. Understand which users are reading what feeds, how many feeds are in the system, and more. Attention reporting helps gain insight into how users effectively convert information into wisdom as users gather information in their quest to answer questions and solve problems. Reports can be used to identify must read feeds and the most effective communications channels for getting information to specific users and groups. Detailed Attention reports are searchable based on feeds, groups and users.
Feed Rankings and Discovery Community feeds can be ranked by the number of subscribers. Users with permission can discover and easily subscribe to new feeds.
Three Search Tools and Techniques to Discover and Channel Highly Relevant Content
Search Feeds and Articles Stored on the Feed Server
Users can search across feeds and articles stored on the feed server and easily subscribe to new feeds that capture their attention.
Search the Open Web with Persistent Search Tools
Administrators and users can set up dynamic searches across 18 Web, blog and social network search engines. The ability to add search from premium content providers is also available. Search feeds are hosted on the server and can be channeled to specific users and groups. Users can add new searches through the Attensa Feed Server's Web reader.
Simply typing search keyword queries once will launch searches across multiple search engines. Search results are updated automatically on a continuous basis.
Search Custom Content Channels Using Precision Search Tools
Users can create precisely focused search channels that automatically and continuously deliver exactly the content they are searching for without duplication. Precision search differs from conventional indexing searches by matching and filtering results in real time. Researchers can fine tuning their search criteria, in real time to deliver exactly the information as soon as it is observed on in the content channel.
Designed for Scaling Efficiency and Lower Total Cost of Ownership The Attensa Feed Server scales more efficiently than conventional clustered server approaches used in competitive enterprise RSS solutions. The server uses Attensa's AttentionStream™ processing to intelligently manage and direct workload demands to task specific servers. AttentionStream processing running on the Linux OS lowers TCO by requiring fewer servers to support workloads and reduces software licensing costs.
Embedded Documentation and Technical Support Access: Documentation for users and admins is now available through the web interface. Access to the Attensa Support portal is available through the admin interface.
Backup and Restore Customers' Feed Server subscriptions and user settings are protected by automated backups. The frequency can be scheduled by the administrator. Feed Server information can be restored to users from backed-up files.
The best way to get started with Enterprise 2.0 is to take the wheel yourself. Take the Attensa Feed Server on a test drive with a fully functional trial version.
