Data Visualization Helps Panoratio Data Mining Users to Instantly Discover Patterns and Relationships

(Waltham, MA — March 10, 2008) - Panoratio, a provider of innovative technology that maps statistical content from large and complex datasets, has selected OpenViz data visualization software from Advanced Visual Systems (AVS) to be incorporated into its Data Explorer product.

Panoratio uses OpenViz to provide highly interactive and graphical displays of dense imagery in near-real time, with virtually no restrictions on the complexity or amount of data that can be analyzed.

Panoratio’s Data Explorer is a smart data analysis tool that rapidly queries Panoratio Portable Database Images and delivers results in seconds with built-in intelligence that assists analysts in finding patterns and relationships in the data which they might not otherwise discover.

Independent software makers such as Panoratio use OpenViz to serve as an embedded graphics platform for interactive analytics and data visualization. Designed to overcome the limitations of static charting packages, OpenViz enables application designers and product managers to create high performance solutions from extremely complex data, algorithms and integrated corporate content.

According to Steve Sukman, Executive Vice President at AVS, “The speed and agility of Panoratio’s Data Explorer is extremely impressive. Coupled with our high-performance rendering, end-users can explore incredible volumes of data without any latency or wait time. AVS has been visualizing large-volume data for over sixteen years and knows that when a complex query and resulting visualization are delivered instantaneously, the level of comprehension and rhythm of discovery are enhanced by orders of magnitude.”

OpenViz is the industry’s most advanced data visualization system for adding interactive graphics, charts and functionality to ISV products and enterprise applications. First released in 2000, OpenViz provides application developers, and product managers with virtually unlimited techniques for extracting, manipulating and presenting all types of data in desktop and Web-based solutions. Prominent implementations of the technology are in the fields of business intelligence, financial analysis, customer analytics, risk management and life sciences.

About Panoratio

Panoratio was spun–out of Siemens AG, and founded as a software company in 2003. The company develops and markets discovery tools that enable fast, dynamic analysis to occur in–memory on any computer–through a patented process for rendering large, complex data sets into a proprietary file format–the Portable Data Image™ (.pdi™). The .pdi format is transparently compressed, and is ideally suited for archiving, distribution and syndication of large amounts of historic analytical data. All queries return in fractions of seconds, and complete analysis can occur in a fraction of the historical time. This solution enables companies to analyze large, complex amounts of data interactively, and helps them detect, discover and understand interrelationships that would ordinarily remain hidden.
