The ability to simulate trends and identify probable business forecasts based on corporate data, using data analytics, is extremely valuable. However, the technology behind this capability is often far too expensive for most organizations and, what’s more, can be very time-consuming for the data analyst tasked with reporting. Today’s analysts need a simplified and cost-effective way to perform fast advanced analytics right on the desktop. Quest Software, the leading provider of database tools that simplify and improve the productivity, efficiency, and accuracy of production for database professionals of all skill and experience levels, has partnered with in-database analytics software vendor Fuzzy Logix to incorporate a rich, analytics library into a new Professional with Analytics Edition of Quest® Toad® for Data Analysts.

News Facts:

Toad for Data Analysts Professional with Analytics Edition provides a repository of sophisticated functions for rich data analytics used at the desktop to accelerate predictive modeling and data mining. With core functions for pattern discovery, clustering and regression powered by Fuzzy Logix, analysts can improve their analytic time to value at a fraction of the cost of server-based in-database analytics solutions. These added capabilities in Toad for Data Analysts put an extremely practical, simplified solution for complex analytics into the hands of more users.
The new release of Toad for Data Analysts also includes enhancements that ease difficulties associated with general data querying and reporting by automating manual, time-intensive tasks. Gathering data from various sources for reporting can be complex and time-consuming, and typically requires the use of multiple tools. Once analysts find the data they need, it can be difficult to view and understand, let alone compare and synchronize. Toad for Data Analysts offers advanced heterogeneous queries and data cleansing and transformation utilities that simplify complex data manipulation tasks, as well as data visualization functionality that allows users to easily profile, view and understand their data sets.
Toad for Data Analysts 3.0 is now available with North American pricing beginning at $495 for the base edition, or $1,990 for the Professional with Analytics Edition. For more information, visit www.quest.com/toad-for-data-analysts/.
Quest also recently released the beta for Quest Business intelligence Studio, a self-service data discovery and visualization tool for business users who are not as SQL-savvy.
