Organizations can now empower business analysts with data mining and
predictive analytics for making informed business decisions

TORONTO , Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – Angoss Software Corporation (Angoss)
(TSXV: ANC) today announced the availability of KnowledgeEXCELERATOR, a
powerful visual data discovery and prediction tool for business
analysts and knowledge workers who commonly use Microsoft® Excel to
analyze and understand their business data.

Marketers, managers and business intelligence users continue to mine for
valuable insight hidden in the voluminous data within their businesses
to improve revenue performance and make actionable decisions. These
users require affordable tools that allow them to easily understand,
visualize and uncover the predictive power of their data without
relying on quantitative analysts or statisticians to perform this
analysis.

What is the Predictive Power of Your Data?

KnowledgeEXCELERATOR allows business intelligence users to rapidly
import large data sets directly from Excel or any database to segment,
classify and visualize their data—and uncover the predictive power of
their data. The tool guides business users through visual data
discovery and prediction of their own data with an intuitive user
interface. Users apply the basics of data mining and predictive
analytics with step by step guided workflow without needing to create
models, understand complex algorithms or program code.

KnowledgeEXCELERATOR guides users to discover, predict and visualize their data:

• Discover to view the basic characteristics of your data, find interesting
  patterns, segments, and calculate summary statistics. Visually
  understand, segment and summarize your data.

• Predict to identify the main variables of interest and discover which variables
  can be used to predict outcome. Decision Trees visually represent the
  predictive power of your data.

• Visualize to illustrate your data discovery with interactive charts that you can
  customize, edit, organize and save for use in reporting.
