Presentation
abstract: There are hundreds of systems that provide good to very good analytical
services, but maintaining that critical competitive edge for companies
requires newer, more powerful analytical processes limited only
by the creativity of the people who use them.
Correlation Database Management Systems (CDBMS) provide a breakthrough
level of analytics. This presentation explains the internal architecture
that makes this possible and the important differences between
this new architecture and the more well-known record and column
database structures. It also provides explanations of the advanced
processes made possible by this new architecture and examples
of how these processes can be applied to real business problems.

organizations. Topics will include:

products
