Dell Software announced a new partnership with Datawatch Corporation, continuing the growing momentum of its analytics business by integrating highly interactive visualization and dashboarding capabilities directly into its Statistica advanced analytics platform. Already known for its robust offering of more than 16,000 analytical options, Statistica now will empower line of business users to stream data into compelling and interactive visual representations to better facilitate the sharing of information and discovery of hidden patterns.
“In the current business scenario, it has become highly imperative for companies to efficiently use data to get a better understanding of their customers. Having said that, possessing advanced analytics proficiencies automatically becomes critical for all companies, including Dell. Hence, ensuring that these capabilities are readily available to our customers becomes a priority for us and our company with the acquisition of StatSoft, and, in the year since, has continued to push the envelope. With our collaboration with Datawatch, in tandem with its aggressive cross-portfolio integration efforts, Statistica has now become one of the most comprehensive and easy-to-use advanced analytics platforms,” said Murli Mohan, Director & General Manager, Dell Software.
Statistica delivers a full range of advanced and predictive analytics tools that help organizations predict future trends to identify new customers and sales opportunities, forecast industry shifts, explore “what-if” scenarios, and reduce the occurrence of fraud and other business risks. Datawatch provides an ideal complement by enabling self-service data preparation from structured and multi-structured sources such as PDF and log files, as well as real-time streaming data, and delivering this into rich visualizations. As a result of the new partnership, Datawatch’s technology will serve as the permanent visualization engine for the Dell Statistica platform, with its visual discovery and dashboarding capabilities available natively to Statistica users, without the need for additional software licenses from Datawatch. The new Statistica visualization and dashboarding functionality is available to users in version 12.7, now generally available.
Michael Morrison, President and CEO, Datawatchsaid, “Dell today leapfrogs their competition with a combined solution that brings their advanced analytics together with the self-service data preparation and visual data discovery that only Datawatch can deliver. This offering provides a tremendous value proposition in meeting current and emerging analytics requirements.”
