PolyVista® business intelligence software enables
organizations extract superior insight beyond that provided
by their existing business intelligence tools. They use
PolyVista to solve business problems that cannot easily
be tackled by other business intelligence packages. Not
only does PolyVista enable users to rapidly obtain answers
to questions they may have, but also automatically extract
additional insight from rich data (structured and unstructured)
by identifying questions that users should ask, but never
knew to ask - PolyVista discovers 'gems' of intelligence
hidden in the data.
Further,
PolyVista is able to deliver its results in a matter
of minutes or hours, while competitive business
intelligence and discovery products may take days
or even months to do so. PolyVista is able to accomplish
this because the process of discovery has been automated.
As a result, not only does PolyVista delivery superior
insight from the data, but also delivers quickly
enough to be used in a timely fashion.
Organizations today are inundated with information
and data. While much of it is collected as numeric
data, an increasing amount of data is also assimilated
in text form. Most companies do not even attempt
to leverage the intelligence buried within the text
data. As a result, valuable customer insight is
wasted. And, with this ever-increasing data, it
is becoming humanly impossible to sift through it
intelligently to be able to make better business
decisions. This is where PolyVista comes in.

PolyVista is able to not only simultaneously analyze numeric
and text data, but extremely broad arrays (factors) of
data as well. Through this process, PolyVista is able
to identify key interrelated factors, thus making it possible
to obtain answers to complex questions posed to the system.
This process of Discovery enables PolyVista to deliver
superior insight to its users.

PolyVista
and Discovery:
While Reporting as a business intelligent
tool has its value, and delivers useful results,
it tends to present data in a 1 and 2-dimensional
world, i.e., it can look at one or two factors of
data at a time. Further, with competitive reporting
as well as high-end business intelligence tools,
one needs to know beforehand what questions to be
ask. But what about the questions one does even
know to ask! In business, several factors/dimensions
are usually interlinked with each other, as a result
of which oftentimes a user may not know what to
even look for within the data simply because it
is too complicated to analyze. This is where Discovery
is required.
While discovery as a function is available through
several business intelligence solutions, it is usually
a tedious, manual process that may require weeks
or even months of specialized work to use effectively.
PolyVista has simplified discovery by automating
the discovery process, and thus producing useful
results in a matter of minutes or hours. Further,
because of the automated nature of analysis, PolyVista
is also able to deliver standard results provided
by competitive business intelligence products in
record time.

The Special Sauce:
PolyVista's solution strength lies in the integration
of several cutting edge capabilities - some of which PolyVista
is in the process of patenting. After over 5 years of
research and development, PolyVista has brought together:
 |
|
An
OLAP engine (industry standard) |
|
|
Text/unstructured
data mining technology, with a patent pending for
how it interacts with numeric/structured data (patent
pending) |
|
|
Algorithms
that automate the analysis of multiple dimensions
or factors of data (patents granted and patents
pending) |
|
|
Sophisticated
visualization in 2D and 3D charts and graphs (patents
granted and patents pending) |
|
|
Simple
user interfaces |
As
a result, PolyVista can be used equally easily by business
users as well as business analysts. Additional information
