If you're like many IT leaders, you are torn between the need to capture
useful operational data patterns and the frustration of dealing with
statistical math's intricacies, which are required to yield any worthwhile
results. This is especially true when analyzing huge quantities of
historical data, such as sales transactions or behavior records of online
customers. If this sounds familiar, I recommend PolyAnalyst 4.1, the latest
data mining release from Megaputer Intelligence. PolyAnalyst is a
self-contained data mining product was easy to  use, adaptable to multiple
business contexts, and affordable, thereby earning a score of Very Good.

Probably one the most impressive characteristic of  PolyAnalyst is the sheer
number of data mining tasks it can tackle. It provides 11 data exploration
capabilities that should cover even the most demanding tasks - from the
discovery of simple relations between two fields (how do discounts affect
quantities ordered?) to the identification of more complex relationships
(which of my products are most often purchased  together?).

Overall, PolyAnalyst's flexibility, ease of use, dynamite data discovery
engines, and affordable price make it an appealing solution and more than
earn it a score of Very Good. If you want to uncover hidden information that
is just sitting in your archives waiting to make you money, I suggest you
implement PolyAnalyst posthaste.
