Reports can be published against full detail within business time giving timely information to all categories of users. This union of a best-of-breed BI environment with the worlds must powerful analytical database makes for a compelling business partnership and a compelling offering to the businesses and enterprises that require this capability today.

    Area of Expertise
      The WX2 solution is able to handle large quantities of granular data with ease and a level of performance that makes it ideal and cost effective for companies with considerable amounts of information. Typically these include telecommunications, retail and financial enterprises and those organisations that conduct business via the Internet. Many other BI database technologies allow the user to only run queries on sample or summary data, giving them only a partial view. With WX2 users have the flexibility to ask the questions they want to on their full volume of data, giving them an accurate and detailed view of all their business and customer information, thus supporting many business functions including marketing, pricing, CRM, credit and risk management, sales and finance. This powerful analytical technology is backed up by Kognitio consultants who have the skills, knowledge and experience to assist clients in understanding how to get critical business information out of the huge volumes of data within their organisation. Kognitio also has extensive experience in the management and delivery of the most complex data migration projects, helping companies to replace their legacy systems by consolidating data onto fewer business critical applications to save cost and provide the flexibility required for rapidly changing business environments; it has an extensive history of successful projects in this area with many of the leading companies both in the UK and abroad. Kognitio was formed from a merger between Kognitio and WhiteCross in 2005.
