Announces General Availability of Monarch v13 for Self-Service Data Preparation
CHELMSFORD, Mass., 2015-06-30 15:05 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ:DWCH) today announced the general availability
of Datawatch Monarch version 13, the latest release of its flagship data
preparation solution. The new product release significantly extends the range
of data sources and provides a simple point-and-click interface built on top of
the world's most powerful data preparation engine. Now everyone from novice
business users to data scientists can effortlessly unlock and use all of the
data needed to make better, more timely decisions with self-service data
preparation capabilities.
The unique capabilities delivered with the Datawatch Monarch v13 include:
- Access to
any data - Unlock data from the widest range of data sources including
multi-structured documents such as PDFs, JSON, text and spool files, as well as
all major relational databases, Salesforce.com, web pages, Hadoop, NoSQL, CSV
and more.
- Point-and-click ease - Over
80 prebuilt data manipulation functions at your fingertips so mere mortals can
instantly become experts at analyzing Big Data.
- Use existing reports - You
don't need IT to access data in enterprise systems - you can now use existing
reports in formats like .PDF or .TXT and automatically bring this data directly
into your analysis. You can also unlock data in customer invoices, purchase
orders, third party research and any document you need. There is no rekeying
or scripting, Datawatch automatically inspects the document and extracts all
the relevant data into a tabular, spreadsheet-like display.
- Drag-and-drop web pages - Use
content from a web page as a data source, so now you can add important data
like competitive pricing or market research that is only available via the web.
- Stop Excel chaos - Excel was
not designed for data preparation and is often the biggest source of
unintentional errors when used to consolidate and manipulate data. You can now
easily combine multiple spreadsheets, prepare the data, and export back to a
fully formatted spreadsheet that everyone loves.
- Export to your favorite tool
- Your prepared data can be saved in a variety of native BI formats so you can
immediately visualize your results not just in Datawatch Designer, but in other
popular BI and advanced analytics tools such as Tableau, Qlik, IBM Watson
Analytics, Tibco Spotfire, SAS, SAP Lumira, Dell Statistica, Excel and many
others.
- Greater trust - Every step
you take in preparing your data is recorded in an easy to understandable
format. This transparency instills greater confidence and trust when shared
with others or for audit purposes. These recorded steps are also used as a
load plan to fully automate a process when you need to do it again.
- Promote reuse - Your data
preparation routines can be shared with others so you can stop all the
redundant work.
- Enterprise-ready - Monarch is
part of the Datawatch Managed Analytics Platform that delivers an
enterprise-wide solution for data preparation and visual data discovery.
Datawatch is the only solution that can bridge the gap between the ease-of-use
and agility that business users demand together with the scalability,
automation and governance needed by IT.
According to Gartner, 'New
self-service data preparation capabilities provide users with greater agility
to respond to new data sources and new business requirements, challenging
business intelligence (BI) leaders who adhere to more centralized data modeling
approaches. Failure of BI leaders to embrace self-service data preparation
will leave slower-to-respond companies at a competitive disadvantage through an
inability to fully exploit relevant data sources.'

'We have a unique perspective on this challenge as over 40,000 customers have
relied on Datawatch Monarch to handle the most complex data preparation tasks
over the course of the past two decades,' said Michael A. Morrison, president
and chief executive officer of Datawatch. 'The disruptive growth of
self-service analytics has been driven by the need for greater agility but this
promise has not been fully realized as the vast majority of effort is now spent
on data preparation, not analysis. The challenge is only becoming more acute
as the fastest growing sources of data are not in neatly structured databases
but in an ever growing set of diverse formats. Datawatch is uniquely
positioned to finally democratize data access for everyone.'
