Joseph Rozenfeld, vice president of strategy and solutions at Skytide stated: "Companies in almost every industry are now generating huge volumes of network or customer interaction-related, semi-structured data that they need to analyze, but traditional BI technology is not suited for analyzing this data with little or no latency. Skytide was specifically designed to address both the format complexity and the volume of data generated by today's transactional networks. Skytide Analytical Platform 2.2 brings the industry's most robust capabilities to large-volume data environments".

The innformation is hidden within this transaction data that could be used to understand and measure customer value, manage service level agreements and quality of service, and provide insights into system performance.

Skytide's award-winning technology uses XML as a common layer to dramatically reduce system complexity while offering advanced functionality that cannot be achieved by traditional BI technology. Application areas for Skytide technology include contact centers, risk and security management, compliance, and other areas of business that generate significant volumes of mission-critical unstructured and semi-structured data.
