ProClarity Integrates with Microsoft Commerce Server 2000

Knosys Inc, an award-winning provider of analytic front-end technology designed specifically for the Microsoft Windows DNA 2000 platform, announced at PC Expo plans to offer a version of its ProClarity line that integrates tightly with Microsoft Commerce Server 2000. Knosys is optimizing their widely adopted ProClarity OLAP client and ProClarity Analytical Platform to extend the Commerce Server 2000 Business Analytics System to help e-business customers manage their Internet businesses more effectively and make strategic decisions more quickly. Knosys will present product demonstrations at Microsoft's PC Expo 2000 exhibit in Booth 2636.

"Microsoft Corp is pleased to be working with associates like Knosys on extending the power and flexibility of Commerce Server 2000," said Chris Atkinson, vice president of Windows DNA and Web Services Solutions, Microsoft. "Knosys' ProClarity solutions for Commerce Server 2000 enable our joint e-business customers to easily and intuitively extend the scope of their analyses data into the entire organization."

The ProClarity product line delivers analytic capabilities for the Windows DNA 2000 platform, and leads to significant cost savings and deployment advantages for organizations with diverse user communities and varied analytical application needs. The ProClarity product family works across the organization's analytical applications and integrates seamlessly with decision makers' favorite business productivity tools, such as an Internet browser, Microsoft Office 2000 applications, custom Visual Basic applications and Commerce Server's Business Desk. The Commerce Server 2000 Business Desk is a browser-based management console, where business managers get the decision support and the control they need to impact the business logic of a site. ProClarity extends the power of this decision support beyond the site business data by providing the ability to analyze integrated data from any area within the organization, from financial systems to call centers and customer management data. ProClarity deploys quickly and its browser-like user interface makes it intuitive and easy-to-use.

"Knosys is extremely excited to be selected for the Commerce Server 2000 solution," commented Clay Young, vice president of Marketing for Knosys Inc. "It is a great opportunity for us to illustrate the ease-of-integration and customizability of the ProClarity Analytical Platform while delivering a powerful and flexible analysis solution to companies deploying Commerce Server 2000 e-Commerce solutions."
