DATABASE MINING ================================================================= Karl Drobnic Oct 3 Reply #3505 The major significance of the October CD release will not be sales, though those will bring welcome, high profit revenue. Each time a company sends its inventory to TPRO for assessment, the TPRO database will grow. Very quickly, TPRO's database lead will grow so large that competition will be unable to surface. So even more companies will run the CD. "Database mining" is one of the huge growth industries of the next century. TPRO's knowledge of every significant factory floor in the US will give them a tremendous advantage when it comes to preparing bids for future systems integ. projects. Plus, there are many, many ways to exploit a database. Database exploitation is very high margin. Eg: when WNDR wants to write its next version of FS, who will they pay to get the facts? TPRO! Wade Ramey Oct 3 Reply #3508 Database mining refers to sophisticated software that can efficiently "mine" huge databases for quick access of pertinent material. Does this have anything to do with what TPRO is doing? From: Karl Drobnic Oct 4 1997 12:51PM Reply #3534 Regarding my earlier post about the CD and database mining - the short term effect of the CD will be cash in the till. The medium term effect will be such a fast growth of the TPRO database that competitors (if they arise) will have to license the TPRO database (more cash to TPRO). The long term effect will be "database mining". *TPRO will have the most complete picture of industrial America's production facilities in the world.* Suppose you're Boeing looking for new subcontractors to supply parts. You want to know who really has the capacity to deliver. Pay TPRO to assess your short list. TPRO will find a thousand ways to "sell information" without compromising its clients. Knowledge may be power, but information is high-margin sales. Karl Drobnic, Publisher Venture Returns tomorrowcast.com
