Bloomington, IN – May 2, 2000. -- Megaputer Intelligence Inc. today
announced the release of PolyAnalyst 4.1, a next version of the leading
data mining system featuring the support for an innovative SQL-based
protocol, OLE DB for Data Mining. The new system also implements a powerful
Data Import Wizard and a special architecture for dealing with very large
databases. A non-traditional Decision Tree algorithm, a limited-time free
addition to PolyAnalyst 4.1 scheduled for release on May 20-th, further
enriches the suite of eleven unique machine learning techniques offered by
the system.
PolyAnalyst 4.1 and PolyAnalyst Knowledge Server 4.1 from Megaputer are
the first commercial data mining applications shipping with a built-in
support for all major functions of OLE DB for Data Mining. This new
standard simplifies communication and provides deep integration of data
mining applications with data storage and management tools. OLE DB for Data
Mining was introduced recently by Microsoft Corporation and is backed by a
dozen leading data mining vendors. The beta specification for OLE DB for
Data Mining is currently available at http://www.microsoft.com/data/oledb/
and will be open for public review until May 15, 2000.
"The implementation for OLE DB for Data Mining support in PolyAnalyst
4.1 is the first commercial illustration of the deep integration of RDBMS
and Data Mining applications provided by this new protocol", says Steve
Murchie, SQL Server group product manager, Microsoft Corporation. "Megaputer
Intelligence delivered this exciting new version of PolyAnalyst in record
time."
The support for OLE DB for Data Mining built in the new data mining
solution from Megaputer represents a crucial step toward making data mining
functionality available to any business analyst or developer, without the
need for specialized knowledge of a particular data mining tool. An
integration of this functionality with the broadest set of machine learning
algorithms offered by PolyAnalyst 4.1 allows the users to readily address
any data mining task. An evaluation copy of PolyAnalyst 4.1 accompanied by a
tutorial illustrating the use of OLE DB for Data Mining is available for
downloading at http://www.megaputer.com.
