About the QueryObject System(R) The QueryObject System(R) helps data intensive organizations such as eBusinesses, telecommunications, healthcare and insurance, or financial services The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Please [ improve this article] or discuss the issue on the talk page. companies to achieve a competitive advantage by analyzing more data...in more detail ...more quickly...over the Internet. The QueryObject is the first true Information Economy data structure. Where most databases were designed for client-server transaction processing Updating the appropriate database records as soon as a transaction (order, payment, etc.) is entered into the computer. It may also imply that confirmations are sent at the same time. Transaction processing systems are the backbone of an organization because they update constantly. , the QueryObject is architected specifically for Internet data analysis: -- works on Internet scale data volumes over Internet size users communities -- at Internet velocity, with fast data mart builds, and queries at the speed of thought -- over both server-centric and - via the patent-pending QueryObject(TM) Distributed Replication Server - network caching Internet architectures -- while maintaining data privacy and security Its industry-leading data structure permits very large amounts of behavioral data to be efficiently stored as a densely compressed loss-less mass, while a unique polynomial polynomial, mathematical expression which is a finite sum, each term being a constant times a product of one or more variables raised to powers. With only one variable the general form of a polynomial is a0xn+a index provides instant, random access to both the cross-dimensional totals and - via match keys - to the supporting transaction level data. The QueryObject(TM) Engine, which transforms any production data source into QueryObject data marts, runs on UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , and Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. servers, with native access to 22+ databases including SAP and PeopleSoft, allowing organizations to save time by processing business data directly on the platform on which it is created or stored. The QueryObject(TM) Server, running on UNIX, LINUX, or Windows NT, provides open end-user access to the resulting QueryObject data marts. Support for industry data access standards - JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) A programming interface that lets Java applications access a database via the SQL language. Since Java interpreters (Java Virtual Machines) are available for all major client platforms, this allows a platform-independent database , ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) A database programming interface from Microsoft that provides a common language for Windows applications to access databases on a network. , and OLE/DB for OLAP (OnLine Analytical Processing) Decision support software that allows the user to quickly analyze information that has been summarized into multidimensional views and hierarchies. OLAP tools are used to perform trend analysis on sales and financial information. - means that the QueryObject Server provides a powerful analytical back-end to most business intelligence and eBusiness intelligence tools and applications, increasing their volume scalability, query speed, and ability to support many concurrent users.

This distributed network-caching feature means that the QueryObject architecture can support virtually unlimited numbers of concurrent Internet users, each using their personal choice of desktop BI clients.
