News February 16, 22:35 Eastern Time Applications at Intel Pentium III Processor Preview Day Coronado Leverages the Power of Latest Intel Pentium III Processors, Providing Business Users Simple Avenues to Information Stored in Data SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Portola Dimensional Systems, developer of visual computing technology for business applications, is demonstrating the enhanced performance desktop processors bring to business applications, as a participant in the Intel(R) Pentium(TM) III Processor Preview Day. Portola is joining hundreds of leading content developers, PC hardware suppliers and software tool makers on Wednesday, February 17, 1999 at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, in previewing new products designed especially for Intel's forthcoming Pentium(R) III processor. Portola's latest product, Coronado, is a multidimensional data query, analysis and reporting software taking advantage of powerful processors, such as the Pentium III, and the latest visualization technology to deliver bottom-line knowledge to mainstream business users. Portola was the first company to adapt advanced graphics technology to the workplace, bringing large amounts of data to life and enabling ordinary users to extract information from their data without needing a high-end workstation. "The standard PC has been turned into a powerful tool for high-impact business analysis," said Karen von Haunalter, vice president, Portola. "The incredible power now available on the desktop, combined with our visual computing technology, is put to use for business users needing access to, and insight from, their data." Coronado transforms data into visual attributes, such as position on the x, y, and z axes, time and space, then displays it in rich graphical forms to reveal patterns, relationships and trends that would heretofore remain hidden in flat, static rows and columns. Processors and graphics acceleration technology provide the "horsepower" for complicated computing; the power inside the PC delivering business intelligence directly to the desktop. "The processor-based platforms provide a solid foundation for visual computing capabilities," said von Haunalter. "Certainly, Portola is part of the building momentum within the industry to provide all mainstream business users with usable tools to make fact- and data-based decisions." Portola Dimensional Systems develops technology that extends the visual data analysis and presentation capabilities of mainstream business applications. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, the company is made up of a unique blend of individuals with expertise in interface design, 2D and 3D graphics, expert systems and interactive, real-time application development, as well as international finance and financial services. Portola's products optimize business user knowledge and productivity by offering usable, intuitive application tools. For more information, visit Portola's Web site at www.portolasystems.com.
