Briefs

KnowledgeSTUDIO and KnowledgeSERVER 4 have been released to beta. These products contain significant enhancements, are targeted for general availability in June, 2002, and will be provided to all KnowledgeSTUDIO and KnowledgeSERVER licensees for Windows and supported Unix platforms as of the June release date. If you wish to participate in the version 4 beta program, please send your request to support@angoss.com.

Enhancements include the addition of time series analysis to our algorithms portfolio, as well as numerous enhancements to our profiling, decision tree, neural networks and cluster modules including profit maximization, automated and interactive pruning, multivariate dependent variables for neural network predictive models, automated "most appropriate model" selection, cluster labels, and other features.

With the 4 release, we also enable real-time collaboration between modelers and other business personnel through publishing capabilities included with KnowledgeSTUDIO that enable analysts to "pack and send" projects and models to business users running KnowledgeExcelerator for review, analysis and feedback. Our goal with these enhancements is to enable analysts to make their results more actionable, more quickly, for more users across their organizations.

In addition to our client relationships, we continued to achieve new milestones with technology industry partners in 2001 that will benefit our users. These included:

Selection by PeopleSoft Corporation as a "best of breed" plug in integrated with PeopleSoft 8 (announced August).

Selection by Informatica Corporation as their data mining solution for Informatica Analytic Applications (announced December).

Successful completion of validation of KnowledgeSTUDIO and KnowledgeSERVER with Siebel Systems' Siebel 2000 application suite (announced December)
