We're very pleased to announce the release of Angoss KnowledgeSEEKER®, and Angoss KnowledgeSTUDIO® Version 5.3, with Angoss StrategyBUILDER™, our new strategy design module for marketing, sales and risk analysts.

Usable, Scalable, Affordable
Angoss product attributes focus on ease of use, superior performance across the analytics team, dealing with large data, and low total cost of ownership for data mining and predictive analytics systems. Our clients typically deploy in the 5 to 25 user range, although for financial services clients the number of analysts tend to be higher. At these levels, Angoss offers a compelling value proposition for usability, scalability, and affordability that we believe no other data mining solutions vendor can match.
No Cost Upgrades
Version 5.3 is included under our client maintenance and support program at no additional cost, for all current users of the relevant licensed programs.
What's New
Highlights of program availability for Version 5.3:
- Angoss StrategyBUILDER™ is now available for both Angoss KnowledgeSEEKER® and Angoss KnowledgeSTUDIO® users.
- Performance Tuning for Decision Trees. Continuing improvements in decision tree operations for large volume data environments, including data import, find and force splits, descriptive statistics and other functions.
- Improved Activity and Query Logging to support work-flow streamlining as well as security, privacy and compliance needs.
- New data handling features including use of SQL for ODBC data import, visual column marking of fixed text files, enhanced overview reporting for descriptive statistics and missing values, import support for SAS CPORT files on Windows platforms.
- Node comments, tree locking, and improved reporting and visualization for decision and strategy trees.
- Score reasons and formula reports for predictive models.

Please note that we also have a second product release, Version 5.4, planned for 2007. This release will focus on additional enhancements including scorecard development, data preparation, improved charting and continued performance enhancements.
