CHICAGO, March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- ADVIZOR Solutions(R) and KXEN(R) today jointly announced their alignment to develop and deliver best-of-breed reporting & analysis software solutions. The first integrated product from this alignment combines best of breed data visualization technology from ADVIZOR, with world class predictive analytics from KXEN, to enable business managers and analysts to make better and faster fact-based decisions. The result is improved performance, quicker response, and lower costs.

The two companies fill a critical gap in the Business Intelligence software market that is the result of an industry focus for the past several years on collecting data and then presenting it in volumes of reports that are not often designed the way that people understand and react to information. In addition, current tools to analyze business data are cumbersome and difficult to use, often requiring expertise in statistics and / or database query procedures. ADVIZOR and KXEN offer a better solution based on four core principles: (1) simple and clear visual display, (2) easy and fast ad hoc interaction and analysis with point-and-click interfaces, (3) powerful self-service and on-demand capabilities, and (4) tight integration with common information sources and office tools.

Initial reaction to the joint offering has been extremely positive. "This is truly a breakthrough product," says Stephen Few, Principal of Perceptual Edge. "These two technologies complement each other really well by enabling business people to quickly identify what's important in their business data. The analytics leverage mathematically rigorous pattern recognition to provide confidence that the most important factors are being examined. The visualization clearly shows what matters in a very understandable way."

"In the healthcare world the ADVIZOR / KXEN product has enabled me to identify the factors that are causing particular patients to drop out of substance abuse programs. For the first time I am able to spot individuals out of the hundreds of thousands, and determine what made them different," says Craig Johnson, Senior Vice President of ProVentive, Inc.

The integrated product is available now, with pricing starting at $6,000 for single users.
