Latest Version of SPSS Data Mining Workbench Enhances Integration With IBM® DB2® Data Warehouse Enterprise Edition

SPSS Introduces Clementine® 9.0 at Directions User Conference

CHICAGO, 10/25/04 —

SPSS DIRECTIONS USER CONFERENCE, LAS VEGAS ─ Clementine® 9.0, the latest version of the award-winning data mining workbench from SPSS Inc. (NASDAQ: SPSS), is among the new SPSS technologies being showcased at the SPSS Directions User Conference being held this week in Las Vegas. This latest version leverages Clementine’s open, standards-based architecture to offer easy integration with IBM® DB2®   Data Warehouse Enterprise Edition and supports modeling with IBM DB2®Intelligent Miner, enabling the building and scoring of models directly in the DB2 Data Warehouse.

"Clementine was developed to help organizations meet business goals, increase productivity and save time. Its intuitive, visual workflow interface enables DB2 users to conduct 'train-of-thought' analysis, so that they stay focused on business objectives rather than performing technical tasks," says Tommy Eunice, IBM DB2 marketing manager. "The latest version of Clementine fully integrates DB2 Data Warehouse Edition's in-database mining capabilities, enabling faster, simpler data mining and minimal data movement."

Clementine 9.0 will enable analysts using IBM DB2   Data Warehouse Enterprise Edition to view Clementine models with DB2 Intelligent Miner Visualization, and automatically deploy models built in Clementine into DB2 Intelligent Miner Scoring.

“Our aim is to make the analyst’s job easier by enabling them to work more quickly, efficiently and effectively,” says Peter Caron, SPSS senior product manager. “Being able to access and build models provided by IBM DB2 through the intuitive visual workflow of Clementine, as well as deploy models developed in Clementine directly to IBM DB2, will enable analysts to quickly and successfully each their business goals.”

Clementine 9.0 will be available in late November, with pricing starting at $75,000. For additional information, please visit www.spss.com or contact SPSS sales at [email protected] or 1.800.543.2185.
