InterNetivity Launches a New Version of Databeacon

InterNetivity Inc, a pioneer in Information Outreach applications, is launching the anticipated new version of its flagship product, databeacon, a powerful Web-based data analysis and reporting application. With its scalable "Billions Served" architecture, databeacon lets thousands of simultaneous users perform multi-dimensional, client-side analysis of personalized data from a variety of sources. Databeacon's unique interface allows for "instant adoption," requiring no tutors or costly training sessions.

Databeacon 5.0 was designed from the ground up to meet the analysis and reporting demands of exploding B2B segments primarily in the EBPP (Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment), online exchange and ASP (Application Service Provider) markets where easy-to-use, flexible and scalable self-service applications delivering personalization and customization features will lead to rich and rewarding information relationships.

A number of Fortune 500 companies are already using databeacon to fulfill their Information Outreach objectives, having deployed the application to provide customers with easy web-based analysis of B2B transactions such as online billing.

Information Outreach solutions address key new requirements of the radically changing economy. InterNetivity describes databeacon as an Information Outreach solution because it promotes the analysis of valuable data, not only by internal workers, but by customers, partners and suppliers who expect online self-service options to give them an edge in conducting business. Knowledge is power, not just for the company, but for all those who are connected to the company by virtue of the Web-based world we live in.

According to InterNetivity president and CEO, Andy Coutts, "databeacon 5.0 meets the demands of burgeoning B2B markets which require instant adoption and easy deployment. Traditional offerings tend to impose complex architectures and user interfaces which require intense training." Coutts added that, "By and large, applications in the analysis and reporting segment focus on the internal examination of customer data. By virtue of its innovative architecture and user interface, databeacon sends interactive capabilities outward to large, external audiences who can benefit from effortless analysis of data sets such as online phone bills, sales statistics, supply chain data or stock portfolios."

New features in databeacon 5.0 will make it even easier for the mass of users participating in the e-economy to conduct Web-based data analysis and reporting. A key element in databeacon 5.0 is the capacity for multi-dimensional analysis which enables the dynamic comparison of several categories at one time. You can now place up to four categories on the columns and/or rows, allowing for the creation of side-by-side bar graphs and commonly used reports. For example, a single view in databeacon can answer the following questions about an online phone bill: How many long-distance calls were placed by the accounting department? What was the number one location called by accounting? Precisely which number called specific locations?

Other new features include multi-dimensional filtering, an enhanced user interface, improved reporting abilities, a powerful new online user's guide, enhanced Preference features, more complete support of numeric formats and a new "Save as" button which lets users save data in the following formats: Microsoft Excel (XLS), text (tab separated, text (comma separated), Microsoft Word (RTF), or Adobe Acrobat (PDF).

Pricing for databeacon 5.0 starts at US $40,000 per processor, allowing for an unlimited number of users.

Databeacon 5.0 is sold directly by InterNetivity and through the reseller channel. It's offered as a complete analysis and reporting application or as an OEM solution to round out other vendor's systems requiring a Web-based analysis and reporting component (such as those in the area of ERP, CRM and EBPP).

Customers wishing to test-drive databeacon 5.0 can visit the InterNetivity Web site at
