QueryObject Systems
The QueryObject System allows users to rapidly analyze very large volumes of complex business data by easily transforming it into a compact, highly distributable analytical object - a QueryObject - that can be analyzed using industry standard tools and techniques. The System produces an analytical data mart that uniquely represents complex data relationships through polynomial equations. This resulting QueryObject is a mathematical index of all the relevant dimensions and metrics, including direct keys back to the source data.
The System provides a potentially high number of concurrent users with efficient and responsive access to higher information volumes than is available in traditional data marts, while maintaining a proportionally smaller, easier to distribute, footprint. The polymorphic nature of the QueryObject schema allows simultaneous access - through an ODBC and OLE/DB interface - with most industry-standard analytical tools and techniques including spreadsheets, ad hoc queries, multidimensional analysis and data mining.
The QueryObject System engine, which transforms relational or flat-file data into QueryObjects, runs on MVS, UNIX and NT servers. QueryObject data marts are then distributed to desktop or laptop clients, or UNIX or NT LAN and Web servers, for user analysis.
