Your profile in SI explains your posts. A little DD of QUOB. Conference link:dw-institute.com QueryObject booth at conference:dw-institute.com Interesting, insider buying, small float, volume surge, conference about to start. Something up here ?

Size counts. As the business intelligence market rapidly matures, customers have by now accomplished the basic projects and are beginning to confront the REALLY BIG tasks the terabytes of information they have been reluctant to explore at any level of granularity until now. As business intelligence becomes pervasive, the playing field levels. The quest for true competitive advantage in data analysis then switches to management of the really big picture. QueryObject Systems Corporation is well positioned for this future in which a terabyte will be considered small. QueryObject is not your standard OLAP data source, but the future requires that organizations look beyond "standard" data access norms and embrace new technologies. The QueryObject System allows users to rapidly analyze very large volumes of complex business data by easily transforming it into a compact, highly distributable analytical object a QueryObject that can be analyzed at a very detailed level using industry-standard tools and techniques. By moving beyond the restrictions of traditional data storage to a mathematical representation of data relationships, the QueryObject System breaks through the traditional OLAP barriers in terms of content volume, data granularity, concurrent usage and ease of distribution to desktops, mobile PCs and Internet browsers. Data isn't going away. It's growing exponentially. Thus, transforming massive amounts of time-sensitive data into valuable, competitive information that can become the impetus for action, is increasingly pressing particularly for data-intensive industries like telecommunications, financial services, retail and insurance. In these industries, QueryObject System has been proven to provide rapid access to all the relevant data in a data mart structure that is as much as 30 times smaller than traditional OLAP data sources and up to 10 times faster to build and deploy. This positions us well for the REAL information age still to come. I don't think you have a conceipt of what it takes to crunch a gazillion terrabytes of data and make something out of them that a sales guy can use. Just think how many sites you vist on the web each day and how many cookies are set on your PC. Each cookie is a piece of information that is stored in someone's database. Now multiply that by the number of surfers, times the number of days = many gazilions.... No matter how fast commercial computers get, traditional data base methodologies will continue to lack in performance. This type of technology (data mining) is (will be) needed for many web-based apps ... everything from showing you a "custom" ad on the Yahoo welcome screen, to selecting the next stock you will invest in. Remember, all of the military technology of yesterday is the consumer technology of today ...
