The average analytics team commits 15 to 20 percent of their time developing models for projects, with the rest oftheir time invested on pre- and post-processing activities, according to recent surveys. Of those activities, datapreparation mandates 50 to 80 percent of that time and effort, an activity most prone to human error.
But QIWare streamlines and automates the entire process, reducing personnel demands and cutting analytics data
mart preparation processes to just 10 percent. So 40 to 70 percent of personnel time is freed to concentrate onmore important model development tasks that can enhance and expedite results.
With its unique Auto-Mart feature, QIWare
can produce hundreds of data columns
from just one entry without ever having to
write a single line of code.
QIWare supports Clustering, Decision
Trees, Linear and Logistic Regression,
Decision Lists, and K-Nearest Neighbor
Search as built-in algorithms for
modeling. QIWare can also incorporateKnime tasks as part of its data flows.
QIWare was designed by a team of data mining experts, each of whom brings more than a decade of experience inlarge-scale customer analytics projects. Our expertise spans a dozen countries and a full range of industries. QIWareis a robust, real-world solution built for real-world business problems with real-world business constraints. Theno-nonsense data mining solution delivers all of the functionalities leading organizations demand from data
preparation through assessment and evaluation within one easy-to-use interface. Gain superior agility andefficiency plus the ability to integrate with Knime to add more than 1,000 additional functionalities.

Most data mining tools and algorithms leave businesses with little control over what they do aside from variablesselection. As a result, it can be challenging to get buy-in from business units for new models even when thestatistics make perfect sense. But QIWare helps you overcome this obstacle by making business insights an integralaspect of model development, by letting businesses define the importance of different inputs, and by manually
guiding the tool with business hypotheses.
QIWare assigns weights to variables in
solving business problems like
Segmentation, so more important
variables prevail. Interactive decision trees,
decision lists, and regression models are
also available for business hypothesis
driven prediction.
QIWares unique analytics metadata
management feature prompts users to
provide descriptions for variables, data
tables, and models for future reference.
Segment names and profile definitionscan also be included after a clustering
exercise.
It can be next to impossible to track which data source includes which variables. For example, does the variableComSpend stand for cost of communications to the customer, amount a customer spends with the competition,or revenue from computer sales to the customer? This can be even more exasperating for large-scale projects witha multitude of data sources and thousands of columns. Six months after a data mining project is complete,
regardless of how well structured variable names are, most of us forget definitions and calculation steps for modelinputs. Thats why QIWare incorporates a convenient data dictionary building process right into each datapreparation and modeling phase. When you use QIWare, all terms can be safely recorded for future reference. Noconfusion. No worries.

Analytics teams looking to keep segments and predicted measures up-to-date are often challenged withautomation of data mining models for monthly execution. More often than not, monthly scoring activities areconducted manually, boosting the probability of human error and inefficiencies, because automation isunavailable, too expensive, or too difficult to set-up. But QIWare gives organizations easy-to-use, built-in support
to automate all associated tasks from data preparation to scoring and results export.
QIWares data flow feature lets users
line-up tasks for sequential execution.
Schedule data flows to run just once,
every day, every week, or every month at
predetermined times while
automatically logging events during
execution.
QIWares unique dependency view
provides an up-to-date graph of
relations between inputs, tasks,
and outputs to ensure traceability.
Unlike ETL tools, most data mining solutions available on the market lack the ability to trace input-outputdependencies between data sources and tasks. This translates into unwanted and unexpected consequences, withno effective means for understanding the outcome when a variables calculation is altered. But QIWare puts you incontrol by automatically tracing data lineage from the initial source through the final model scores, which are
always available to the user.
