Boise, IDAHO, January 22, 2003 - ProClarity Corporation, a leading provider of innovative analytic solutions for the enterprise, today announced its partnership with Allin Corporation (OTCBB: ALLN), a solutions-oriented information technology consulting company, to develop and deploy advanced web-based analytic solutions that allow customers to access critical research via an extranet. Currently deployed by one of the nation’s leading industry analyst firms to support its more than 10,000 clients, the ProClarity-based analytic solution is delivered across the Internet, allowing customers to access their information for analysis through their web-browsers. By delivering its market research via the Internet, the analyst firm has seen significant growth of its customer base, a reduction of product delivery cycle time, as well as increased revenue through its sale of market research data.
At the center of the analytic solution is the ProClarity® Analytics Platform, allowing customers to perform real-time interactive analysis on market research information that is housed in multi-dimensional data marts. Built atop Microsoft’s .NET platform, the ProClarity solution enables customers to quickly and efficiently zero in on specific “who, what and where” scenarios that help assess their company’s performance in their respective marketplace. This type of analysis capability allows information to be viewed in real-time, through the individual’s web-browser, in order to make better business decisions.
In order to meet the customer’s needs of gaining a competitive advantage while reducing cycle times, making it easy for non-technical users and ensuring data integrity and consistency, Allin Corporation built an entire analytic solution with Microsoft® SQL Server 2000 and Analysis Services and the ProClarity Analytics Platform by:
-
Using dimensional modeling techniques to design data marts that could be used for highly responsive ad-hoc query and multi-dimensional analysis
-
Developing a complete analytic solutions web site designed to query and manipulate data directly over the web using a standard browser
-
Creating a content management intranet solution for the web site enabling non-technical administrators to: schedule the creation and publishing of data to the web site; track the publishing process and review the status; extract, transform and load data; create OLAP cubes; archive and restore OLAP databases to different servers, among many other things
-
Ensuring scalability and fault tolerance by architecting a ‘scale-out’ solution employing clusters of standard servers and using the Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool to simulate hundreds of concurrent users issuing ad-hoc queries to the system
“The synergy of Allin Corporation’s market expertise and ProClarity’s unique product offering has formed a powerful technology and business partnership that enables companies to realize true business value from its data assets,” said Jamie Cooper, Director of Partner Marketing for ProClarity. “Both companies are focused on helping customers align their IT investments with their business objectives. The combination of our products coupled with Allin’s services experience has resulted in the development of a unique analytic offering that has significantly reduced costs, allows for increased market share and continues to push the analytic solutions envelope.”
Competing with a number of other analytic solutions, ProClarity was selected after an extensive evaluation that involved 30 IT analysts across the globe. ProClarity was selected because its open platform provided both a customizable and scalable solution, as well as the ability to automate the delivery of data across the extranet.
“Based on the success of this project, ProClarity has become our preferred analytic platform,” said Karl Kuhnhausen, Solution Director for e-Business in Allin Corporation’s Northern California operations. “This joint solution has provided our customers with the enhanced ability to increase market share by gaining insight into real-time market analysis.”
The ProClarity Analytics Platform Release 5 is a customizable software environment that directly influences business performance by delivering structured and actionable analytics to decision makers in real time. At its core is the ProClarity Analytics Server, a middle tier server that is also a repository where company-wide collaboration and analysis takes place. Users can interact with ProClarity across any net: -intra, -extra or Internet, via its thin, rich or desktop client interfaces. Power options include the ProClarity Business Reporter for Excel and the ProClarity Selector.
