Megaputer ships PolyAnalyst 4.1 - the first data mining application
supporting OLE DB for Data Mining

	Bloomington, IN -- May 2, 2000. -- Megaputer Intelligence
Inc. today announced the release of PolyAnalyst 4.1, a next version of
the leading data mining system featuring the support for an innovative
SQL-based protocol, OLE DB for Data Mining. The new system also
implements a powerful Data Import Wizard and a special architecture
for dealing with very large databases. A non-traditional Decision Tree
algorithm, a limited-time free addition to PolyAnalyst 4.1 scheduled
for release on May 20-th, further enriches the suite of eleven unique
machine learning techniques offered by the system.

	PolyAnalyst 4.1 and PolyAnalyst Knowledge Server 4.1 from
Megaputer are the first commercial data mining applications shipping
with a built-in support for all major functions of OLE DB for Data
Mining. This new standard simplifies communication and provides deep
integration of data mining applications with data storage and
management tools. OLE DB for Data Mining was introduced recently by
Microsoft Corporation and is backed by a dozen leading data mining
vendors. The beta specification for OLE DB for Data Mining is
currently available at http://www.microsoft.com/data/oledb/ and will
be open for public review until May 15, 2000.

	"The implementation for OLE DB for Data Mining support in
PolyAnalyst 4.1 is the first commercial illustration of the deep
integration of RDBMS and Data Mining applications provided by this new
protocol", says Steve Murchie, SQL Server group product manager,
Microsoft Corporation. "Megaputer Intelligence delivered this exciting
new version of PolyAnalyst in record time."

	The support for OLE DB for Data Mining built in the new data
mining solution from Megaputer represents a crucial step toward making
data mining functionality available to any business analyst or
developer, without the need for specialized knowledge of a particular
data mining tool. An integration of this functionality with the
broadest set of machine learning algorithms offered by PolyAnalyst 4.1
allows the users to readily address any data mining task.  An
evaluation copy of PolyAnalyst 4.1 accompanied by a tutorial
illustrating the use of OLE DB for Data Mining is available for
downloading at http://www.megaputer.com.
