>>In any case, BI is becoming a hotter and hotter market!<< Information is Power ! The experience I gained while working in the business world proved to me that this message / mantra is one of the most important factors at the center of the success of any project or business initiative. It used to drive me ballistic when someone within my company would undertake a course of action without taking the time to fully understand the information that was available to them. All they had to do was do a bit of digging for it. The excuse that was continually thrown on the table to justify their actions was that - they had to move forward and they were afraid of analysis paralysis, yadda, yadda, yadda! Unfortunately, if they had taken the time to dig for the right information we could have avoided screw ups that cost the corporation millions of dollars in direct and indirect costs. When organizations see how companies like ANGOSS are simplifying the Data Mining process, or how firms like Seagate can assist them by providing them with invaluable business intelligence - then I am absolutely convinced that this area (and the value of this company's shares in particular) will catch on like wild fire. I believe that the Oracle announcement, and the strides that organizations using these tools are making, will make many of people in companies sit up a little straighter in their chairs when Data Mining is discussed now. I like the position that ANGOSS is in now. And for you poets out there . . . The sun is just coming over the horizon now signaling the dawn of a new age of discovery. This sun will shine brightly on ANGOSS Software! LOL Darn, that was pretty good, if I do say so myself. Yes, I'll admit that last paragraph was a mildly a border line hype job - but what the heck. I liked it! Anyhooo, it should be an interesting rest of the year! Crazy Canuk

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have recently contacted the company and asked for printable copies of several of the case studies that they presented in their Power Point presentation at their AGM. I feel that these examples clearly illustrate the impact that data mining can have on organizations. I recall that these case studies helped me to better understand the dramatic effective the Angoss applications are having for their clients. I believe that by posting them here, it will clearly show other investors just how good the future could be for Angoss and their products. I also believe that it will validate my claims that Data Mining has the ability to exponentially enhance an organization's decision making capabilities. So, hopefully I will be able to post these soon. That said, I have been corresponding with another ANC shareholder through private messages, and when I told him of my plans, he dug up a URL that will get this started. I have to say that after reading this information I had to sit back and reflect a bit on what I read. It is not very often where I have investments that not only make good business sense, but also are in companies whose products can save people's lives! Information is definitely power! I can only speak for myself when I say that after reading this summary, I feel pretty damn good about my support for this company, and the potential it has. canadait.com. Medical Research at the Oxford Transplant Center The Oxford Transplant Center in London, England is using KnowledgeSEEKER in its kidney transplant unit to analyze twenty years worth of case history data, with over 5000 separate measurements for each patient, to discover the factors that effect transplant survival rates. KnowledgeSEEKER has already identified a previously unknown correlation between the time taken to perform a transplant operation and survival rates at five years. Furthermore, KnowledgeSEEKER revealed that the length of time kidneys are chilled in ice prior to transplant has a direct influence on long-term survival rates, as does the length of time that the removed kidney sits still warm before being stored in ice. These discoveries pinpoint areas for future research and should ultimately lead to higher survival rates for transplant patients. Dr. Ken Welsh, transplant immunologist and project head, explains that "over the past years we have used either manual examination of data in spreadsheets or traditional reporting packages to extract results and then used a statistical package to analyze these. This approach can result in repetitive queries and analysis by different staff, and since reporting tools only give the information you ask for specifically, the biggest problem is that you need to ask the right question." I will say again, that this case study made my day! I have always liked this company, and their products, and their future potential - but now, I like it even more. Crazy Canuk
