Here is the first of two pretty good posts that I copied from the Angoss thread on Stockhouse. Crazy Canuk _________________________________________________________ Poster: Rover-II (10/23/99 4:09:48) Angoss touts flexible framework This is the heading of an article that I found in the October 22, 1999 issue of ComputerWorld Canada on page 36. I checked ComputerWorld's website for an electronic version of the article but they have not updated their website yet. I will post the link when it becomes available. In the mean time here are some highlights: The article talks about KnowledgeStudio Version 2.0 and its features. But the best part that I liked about the article is that it contains some quotes from Paul Tyndall, manager of predictive modelling for the Royal Bank Financial Group's (RBFG) Wealth management division. The article says that, he says that KnowledgeStudio is a valued addition to his business intelligence application suite. The article also says that Tyndall provides RBFG's various divisions with predictive modelling based on client information, in a SAS-based business intelligence environment. Here are some quotes from Paul Tyndall from the article: "We found that it fits the niche that we are looking for, filling the gaps we couldn't fill using SAS on its own" he added that SAS provides some but not all of his data mining needs. Of all the functions, he said there's one that has impressed him more than others. "It's really tree functionality that's the number one go-to functionality for us. It's really the kind of functionality you can't replace by any other means." also "And in terms of the interface, I've found that it's far superior to the other versions of it out there in the market, and at a good price point." The article also says that Tyndall says that limitations are not an issue, since KnowledgeStudio is a framework. The rest of the article talks about the platforms that the product will run on and the database formats supported and the price of a single, standalone workstation seat which is $6,000. With Microsoft now using Angoss's products along with a good word from RBFG it's seem like we and Angoss have a bright future ahead.
