STATISTICA Data Warehouse is a complete intelligent
data storage and information delivery/distribution solution
enabling you to customize the flow of information through
your organization, to provide all authorized members of your
organization with flexible, secure, and rapid access to
critical information and intelligent reporting.
The system is virtually platform independent and will fit
into any existing database architecture and hardware
environment. It will efficiently combine information from
multiple database formats and sources (from manual data
entry forms to large batteries of automatic data collection
devices). The system can be further enhanced through
integration with other fully compatible components of the STATISTICA
line of applications and solutions; to name just a few:
- STATISTICA Data Miner
for advanced data mining and artificial intelligence
(e.g., neural networks) based solutions to provide
decision support through cutting-edge methods for
knowledge extraction and prediction
- Quality
Control Miner and Enterprise
Wide SPC System (SEWSS) for tight integration
with quality control, process control, and yield
management activities
- STATISTICA
Text Miner for automatic processing of
unstructured information in documents, databases, or Web
directories (Web-crawling of URL's)
- STATISTICA
Knowledge Portal for presenting summary reports,
charts, and action items to end users (management, sales
force, engineers, etc.) through secure access portals
via the Web; to deliver key intelligence and decision
support to stakeholders world wide (e.g., you access the
STATISTICA
Knowledge Portal via standard Web browsers from
anywhere in the world)
Architecture and Connectivity
- The STATISTICA Data Warehouse connects to any
platform, database, or data source, and will scale to
businesses and applications of any size.
The STATISTICA Data Warehouse is build on a database
and database schema customized for your particular business.
The solution can be installed either inclusive of a high
performance database engine (SQL Server) or as a (virtual)
database schema compatible with most industry standard
databases; therefore, it will seamlessly integrate into
existing database systems.
Because STATISTICA Data Warehouse does not depend
on one particular database vendor or hardware platform, it
is itself entirely platform-independent. The main Data
Warehouse software will connect to any database format,
and hence can efficiently combine and pool information from
multiple sources.
The STATISTICA Data Warehouse application software
will run on servers with multiple processors, or banks of
multiple-processor servers for super-computer like
performance. The system will scale effortlessly and
economically to even huge data sizes and analysis
(intelligence) problems.
Web-Enablement
- The STATISTICA Data Warehouse extracts
information from sources anywhere in the world, and
delivers intelligence anywhere in the world.
The Web component of the system is built on the
proven WebSTATISTICA technology that is used by
organizations world-wide to provide secure access via
standard Web browsers: Unlike other Web-based solutions, the
STATISTICA Data Warehouse does not require any
additional components to be installed on the (thin) client
machines. Hence, the system can be utilized by (authorized
and authenticated) users world wide, from hotel rooms via
dial-up modems, from home, or from office and production
facilities located at the most remote places on earth (e.g.,
via satellite Web links).
Advanced Security and Authentication
- The STATISTICA Data Warehouse implements a
detailed and sophisticated security system to ensure
that your proprietary knowledge and intelligence is safe
from unauthorized access.
The STATISTICA Data Warehouse system will likely
become the most important repository of business
intelligence and decision support resources in your
organization. Therefore, the security of the system is a
crucial priority, so that those valuable resources are
shielded from unauthorized access.
STATISTICA Data Warehouse implements the highest
level of security by establishing groups of users with
different levels of authority (regarding the information
that is accessible, and the operations that can be
performed), requiring regularly updated passwords, etc.
Special methods are also in place to detect and guard
against systematic electronic intrusions
("hacking").
Document Control
- The STATISTICA Data Warehouse enables full
document management, compliant with government and
industry standards.
STATISTICA
Document Management System can be seamlessly
integrated into your STATISTICA Data Warehouse
application to optimize the flow of information within your
organization and thus increase your productivity. This
system can also be configured to comply with all (corporate)
documentation management policies or regulatory requirements
for document security, audit trails, and electronic
signatures/authentication (e.g., as, for example, stipulated
by FDA CFR Title 21 Part 11: Electronic Records;
Electronic Signatures; or ISO 9001 4.5: Document and
data control).
Advanced Analytics
- The STATISTICA Data Warehouse can incorporate
the most advanced data analysis and knowledge extraction
methods available; you can go far beyond OLAP to
simplify and extract knowledge about even the most
complex - and inaccessible to other applications -
patterns in the data.
Because the STATISTICA Data Warehouse is built from
the same high performance components as the entire STATISTICA
line of analytic solutions software, those analytic
solutions can easily and seamlessly be integrated into your Data
Warehouse. STATISTICA offers the most
comprehensive set of tools for data mining, text mining,
data analysis, graphics and visualization, quality and
process control (incl. Six Sigma), etc. on the market. These
resources and technologies can be connected to the data
sources in the STATISTICA Data Warehouse, to leverage
the most advanced technologies and algorithms available for
analyzing and extracting key intelligence from all sources.
For example, you can apply hundreds of neural networks
architectures, highest performance tree classifiers (e.g.,
stochastic gradient boosting trees), flexible root cause
analyses, control charting methods, powerful business
forecasting methods, or sophisticated analytic graphics
methods to convert raw data in the Data Warehouse
into useful and actionable intelligence with clear
implications for decisions affecting your business.
Programmability and Customizability
- The STATISTICA Data Warehouse is an
open-architecture system that will not lock you into a
relation with a single vendor or solution; you can
respond quickly to new business demands and requirements
that need to be incorporated into the Data Warehouse.
As all applications and solutions in the STATISTICA
family of products, the STATISTICA Data Warehouse is
fully programmable and customizable, using industry standard
programming tools such as Visual Basic, C++, Java, or HTML.
This feature is of key importance when your business depends
on your ability to quickly adapt to new information and
business realities: Because you can customize the system
without being forced to rely on the programmers of a single
vendor or knowledge of idiosyncratic scripting conventions
(required by many competing solutions), you have the freedom
to develop your proprietary extensions to the data
warehouse, and to add not only your own reports but also
custom analytic and data transformation/cleaning procedures,
using widely available resources and industry standard tools
(e.g., VB, C++, Java, or HTML tools and programmers). Of
course, StatSoft can always offer to you a full complement
of consulting, system integration, and programming services
delivered by an experienced staff, if you choose to work
with us.
