• DataRPM has introduced a new offering to the market called “Instant Answers.” Instant Answers is a natural language business intelligence and embedded big data analytics tool helping companies of all sizes tackle the world of big data. Instant Answers is a revolutionary business intelligence and data analytics solution that provides a natural language question answering and search interface to analyze and visualize any data residing anywhere in corporate databases, big data systems, files, applications, 3rd party systems, data warehouses and even other business intelligence tools. The technology is available on the cloud, on premises and has the capability to be embedded in any SaaS/ISV application.

• Here is some insight into how the solution works: DataRPM automatically indexes the data and creates statistical data models from disparate different sources using proprietary algorithms. The user is then presented with a Google-like text box in which a question can be answered. DataRPM uses natural language processing technology to map the words of the question to the model of all of the available data. They then present the results using visualizations that the algorithms select. The user can override and switch to different visualizations dynamically. Along with the results are suggestions for additional matches, filters, and further questions and provides the most interactive drill downs without any preconfigurations. The conversation then proceeds as the end-users asks a new question or takes a suggestion.

• The whole value of this approach rests on two things: The accuracy of the results returned based on the query, in other words, the fit of the response and the quality of the suggestions for new questions that could be asked and new information that could be added to the query.

• DataRPM delivers this experience to users in three pillars: either as a measure, a date/time series or a dimension. The model of the relationship of the fields ,in addition to these categories, drive really high quality suggestions that provide results in real-time. Their solution is also 1/10th the cost of other providers on the market making Instant Answers a stand-alone in this category.
