QueryObject Systems Announces QueryObject Server

QueryObject Systems Corporation announced the beta program for a new release of its QueryObject Server for the Linux operating system. The QueryObject System transforms high volume business data into a highly compact and portable format - a QueryObject - - that is hosted on the QueryObject Server for Internet access or distribution. Analysis of the QueryObject data is possible through "open standards" interfaces using leading Business Intelligence and eBusiness Intelligence tools, or via the FREE QueryObject Analyzer browser client.

The new 3.11 version of the system, which also runs on Windows NT and Unix WEB and LAN servers, is of special interest to eBusinesses that need to rapidly analyze Web traffic and electronic customer transactions, and other data intensive industries such as telecommunications and financial services that require efficient analytical access to traditional business data.

Industry Reaction: QueryObject Mission to Establish Universal Internet Analytical DataBase "LINUX is experiencing interest from IT organizations, VARs, and others who realize that the rise of e-Business is driving a need for an operating system that is designed for Web environments," said Philip Russom, director of business intelligence at Hurwitz Group.

"Now that operational applications are established on LINUX, a need for LINUX- based business intelligence systems is emerging. To date, however, very few software vendors have ported business intelligence systems to LINUX to supply this demand." "In aggregate, this release represents yet another step toward establishing the QueryObject System as a universal analytical data structure for Internet data analysis," added Bob Moran, vice president, DSS Research, Enterprise Business Applications at the Aberdeen Group. "With the new Linux support, the QueryObject System can now work in any operating environment. In another significant step, new Analyzer features are pointed at ease of use without diluting the power of the software, making it ideal for casual analysis users throughout the extended enterprise. Simultaneously targeting complex analysis, the QueryObject `open server' supports complex analysis by providing a very effective `back end' to traditional Business Intelligence environments."

Internet Server Designed to Deliver Business Data to All Knowledge Workers, Everywhere While the QueryObject Server WEB Edition can support analysis by tools supplied by other vendors, it also includes the option to use QueryObject Analyzer. Analyzer downloads a small java applet to the user's browser, turning it into a sophisticated graphical data analysis tool. This FREE utility allows organizations to extend access to business data, via the Internet, to all of their knowledge workers, regardless of location. "The QueryObject Server is an ideal Internet data source for both traditional and eBusiness Intelligence systems," said QueryObject Systems' CEO, Robert Thompson. "Its combination of high query speeds and support for multiple concurrent users extends the usability of most industry leading BI tools." "That said," continued Thompson, "traditional Business Intelligence tools are currently available to less than 15% of knowledge workers. QueryObject's FREE Analyzer client is designed to bring Business Intelligence to the other 85% of user organizations in an easy, intuitive and cost effective way, over the Internet."

Additional 3.11 Features: Other new features of the 3.11 deployment servers include: -- QueryObject Analyzer now allows users to display up to four dimensions per axis (to a total of eight dimensions) with multiple filters per axis -- Advanced QueryObject KeyBack allows users to key directly from an analytical answer set to multiple source records The QueryObject Engine, which transforms source data into QueryObjects, also has new 3.11 level features, including enhanced data access with additional native data drivers.

About the QueryObject System

The QueryObject System allows data intensive organizations such as eBusinesses, telecommunications, healthcare and insurance, or financial services companies to achieve competitive advantage by analyzing more data ...in more detail ... more quickly...over the Internet, or within other corporate environments. The QueryObject is the first true Information Age data structure, optimized for data access and distribution over the Internet. Where most databases were designed for client-server transaction processing, the QueryObject is architected for Internet data analysis. Its industry-leading design permits very large amounts of source data to be efficiently stored as a densely compressed loss-less mass, while a unique polynomial index provides instant random access to both the cross-dimensional totals and - via match keys - to the supporting transaction level data. The benefits are fast consistent analysis of large data volumes and concurrent support of a large user population.

The QueryObject Engine, which transforms any product data source into QueryObjects, runs on Mainframe, UNIX and Windows NT servers with native access to 22 data sources, allowing organizations to save time by processing the data directly on the platform on which it is stored.

The QueryObject Server, running on UNIX, Linux or Windows NT, provides open end-user access to the QueryObject data marts. Support for industry data access standards - JDBC, ODBC and OLE/DB - means that the QueryObject Server provides a powerful analytical back-end to most Business Intelligence and eBusiness Intelligence tools and applications, increasing their volume scalability, query speed and ability to support many concurrent users. For organizations that want to extend data analysis capabilities beyond their traditional BI communities without any additional cost, the QueryObject Analyzer Server (Unix, NT, Linux) complements QueryObject server strengths by providing Web-based users with unlimited access to FREE down-loadable access to a multi-dimensional Java client that turns their standard browsers into flexible, intuitive, analytical clients.
