Norbert Technologies LLC and Visual Insights Partner

Norbert Technologies, LLC and Visual Insights Inc, jointly announce the signing of a two-year technology and distribution partnership. Under the terms of the partnership, Norbert will integrate Visual Insights' award-winning ADVIZOR software into its powerful CorWorks data management software solution. General release of the integrated CorWorks-ADVIZOR product is scheduled for the third quarter of this year.

CorWorks is a revolutionary technology developed by Norbert to help users manage large amounts of data, and to extract information from that data quickly and completely. CorWorks compresses data sets to a fraction of their original raw size and allows extensive processing against this data in its compressed state.

As a result of the synergy between CorWorks and Visual Insights, business analysts, statisticians, data administrators, IS staff and other business users will be able to use CorWorks to model and analyze massive amounts of compressed enterprise data and see the results displayed in a highly graphical, three-dimensional user interface. Norbert Technologies and Visual Insights have also agreed to integrate sophisticated mapping and reporting capabilities later this year.

Andrew Dysart, president and CEO of Norbert Technologies, applauded the agreement, saying: "Visual Insights' ADVIZOR adds a whole new dimension to CorWorks. Visual discovery enables our customers to uncover meaningful relationships in massive amounts of business data, and to interact with the information in a powerful, intuitive graphical manner. ADVIZOR's combination of analytical and drill-down capabilities with simple, elegant visualization opens a new window to our customers' data."

Michael Tatelmen, Visual Insights' vice president of marketing and business development, notes: "Norbert's application is an ideal platform for ADVIZOR because CorWorks addresses the needs of data-intensive and rapidly changing business problems. Business decision makers and data analysts are free to focus on building more sophisticated business models and analyses. CorWorks' inherent flexibility and massive scalability, coupled with ADVIZOR's visual discovery and analysis capabilities, will help users gain maximum insight into their business for better, faster decision-making."

This year, Visual Insights' ADVIZOR family of software solutions will become part of the Smithsonian Institution's 2000 Information Technology Innovation Collection, a permanent research collection presented by Computerworld as a lasting historical record of computing applications and innovations. Nominated by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates in the Business and Related Services category, ADVIZOR joins the ranks of 440 of the year's most innovative technology applications from 38 states and 21 countries around the world.
