Information Builders is extending its Webfocus
business intelligence platform to provide predictive analysis
for field workers.
Webfocus with open source predictive modelling
will make real-time decisions simple, said the firm.
Information Builders said Webfocus RStat is the first business
intelligence (BI) platform to allow
data miners, statisticians, BI developers and analysts to
collaboratively build predictive applications for field and
operational employees.
"Data mining has been largely excluded from mainstream BI
applications, managed as one-off projects where a specialist
conducts the analysis and reports the findings," said Information
Builders CEO Gerald Cohen.
"Very rarely has prediction become part of the daily operations
of field workers. Information Builders believes every
decision-maker at any level in the organisation can and should
benefit from access to predictive modelling applications," he
said.
"Embedding them within Webfocus allows us to extend the use of
these models to users on all platforms in many, many different
kinds of applications."
The technology will be available at the end of the year, said
the firm.
