Overview

The STATISTICA Data Warehouse system is a complete, powerful, scalable, and customizable intelligent data warehouse solution, which also optionally offers the most complete analytic functionality available on the market, fully integrated into the system.

STATISTICA Data Warehouse consists of a suite of powerful, flexible component applications, including:

If you are new to data warehousing, StatSoft consultants will guide you step by step through the entire process of designing the optimal data warehouse architecture, from a comprehensive review of your information storage and extraction/analysis needs, to the final training of your employees and support of your daily operations.

The Crucial Features and Benefits

The crucial features and benefits of STATISTICA Data Warehouse solutions include among many others: STATISTICA Data Warehouse is a complete intelligent data storage and information delivery/distribution solution enabling you to customize the flow of information through your organization, to provide all authorized members of your organization with flexible, secure, and rapid access to critical information and intelligent reporting.

The system is virtually platform independent and will fit into any existing database architecture and hardware environment. It will efficiently combine information from multiple database formats and sources (from manual data entry forms to large batteries of automatic data collection devices). The system can be further enhanced through integration with other fully compatible components of the STATISTICA line of applications and solutions; to name just a few:

Architecture and Connectivity

The STATISTICA Data Warehouse is built on a database and database schema customized for your particular business. The solution can be installed either inclusive of a high performance database engine (SQL Server) or as a (virtual) database schema compatible with most industry standard databases; therefore, it will seamlessly integrate into existing database systems.

Because STATISTICA Data Warehouse does not depend on one particular database vendor or hardware platform, it is itself entirely platform-independent. The main Data Warehouse software will connect to any database format, and hence can efficiently combine and pool information from multiple sources.

The STATISTICA Data Warehouse application software will run on servers with multiple processors, or banks of multiple-processor servers for super-computer like performance. The system will scale effortlessly and economically to even huge data sizes and analysis (intelligence) problems.

Web-Enablement

The Web component of the system is built on the proven WebSTATISTICA technology that is used by organizations world-wide to provide secure access via a Web browser: Unlike other Web-based solutions, the STATISTICA Data Warehouse does not require any additional components to be installed on the (thin) client machines. Hence, the system can be utilized by (authorized and authenticated) users world wide, from hotel rooms via dial-up modems, from home, or from office and production facilities located at the most remote places on earth (e.g., via satellite Web links).

Advanced Security and Authentication

The STATISTICA Data Warehouse system will likely become the most important repository of business intelligence and decision support resources in your organization. Therefore, the security of the system is a crucial priority, so that those valuable resources are shielded from unauthorized access.

STATISTICA Data Warehouse implements the highest level of security by establishing groups of users with different levels of authority (regarding the information that is accessible, and the operations that can be performed), requiring regularly updated passwords, etc. Special methods are also in place to detect and guard against systematic electronic intrusions ("hacking").

Document Control

STATISTICA Document Management System can be seamlessly integrated into your STATISTICA Data Warehouse application to optimize the flow of information within your organization and thus increase your productivity. This system can also be configured to comply with all (corporate) documentation management policies or regulatory requirements for document security, audit trails, and electronic signatures/authentication (e.g., as, for example, stipulated by FDA CFR Title 21 Part 11: Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures; or ISO 9001 4.5: Document and data control).

Advanced Analytics

Because the STATISTICA Data Warehouse is built from the same high performance components as the entire STATISTICA line of analytic solutions software, those analytic solutions can easily and seamlessly be integrated into your Data Warehouse. STATISTICA offers the most comprehensive set of tools for data mining, text mining, data analysis, graphics and visualization, quality and process control (incl. Six Sigma), etc. on the market. These resources and technologies can be connected to the data sources in the STATISTICA Data Warehouse, to leverage the most advanced technologies and algorithms available for analyzing and extracting key intelligence from all sources. For example, you can apply hundreds of neural networks architectures, highest performance tree classifiers (e.g., stochastic gradient boosting trees), flexible root cause analyses, control charting methods, powerful business forecasting methods, or sophisticated analytic graphics methods to convert raw data in the Data Warehouse into useful and actionable intelligence with clear implications for decisions affecting your business.

Programmability and Customizability

As all applications and solutions in the STATISTICA family of products, the STATISTICA Data Warehouse is fully programmable and customizable, using industry standard programming tools such as Visual Basic, C++, Java, or HTML. This feature is of key importance when your business depends on your ability to quickly adapt to new information and business realities: Because you can customize the system without being forced to rely on the programmers of a single vendor or knowledge of idiosyncratic scripting conventions (required by many competing solutions), you have the freedom to develop your proprietary extensions to the data warehouse, and to add not only your own reports but also custom analytic and data transformation/cleaning procedures, using widely available resources and industry standard tools (e.g., VB, C++, Java, or HTML tools and programmers). Of course, StatSoft can always offer to you a full complement of consulting, system integration, and programming services delivered by an experienced staff, if you choose to work with us.
