"Portable Database Images (PDIs) condense the essence of terabyte-sized databases into only a few megabytes while preserving all analysis-relevant information. PDI frees users from the technical limitations of classical analysis methods, limitations that are at the core of the fact gap - a disconnect between data and decision makers, who have only cumbersome access to required knowledge.
PDI:
- compresses the comprehensive statistical knowledge into only a few megabytes
- is an explorative report with up to 1500 dimensions
- crystallizes facts out of data at the speed of a mouse click
- shows up important interconnections, automatically and fast
- makes corporate knowledge portable"
