Symtrax has announced a major new version release of its business intelligence solution, StarQuery 4.0. StarQuery’s latest version allows for simultaneous data retrieval from any combination of multiple databases and contains a new “in-memory” feature that accelerates data retrieval.

According to Symtrax CEO Bernard Aldebert, “Our clients asked us for an easier way to combine data from multiple databases into real time reports, and we responded with StarQuery 4.0. It allows data from multiple databases to be combined into reports in an easy and secure way."

StarQuery 4.0 has an intuitive graphical interface that empowers users to create and distribute reports without using SQL or requiring knowledge of the underlying databases. Using StarQuery’s MapDesigner module, IT staff creates an operational mapping of corporate data from multiple data sources and combines it into a single view that users access using Excel or the Web, then create reports with just few clicks.

StarQuery 4.0 employs an in-memory technology that accelerates the processing of data and allows for simultaneous processing of multiple queries against various relational databases. The new in-memory technology loads data sets from one or more databases minimizing resource requirements on production servers while delivering real-time data access.

"Most medium and large companies use more than one database. StarQuery Suite 4.0 simplifies reporting for them, facilitating decision making and dissemination of operational information across the business,” says Aldebert.

Installation takes only a few minutes and requires no data warehousing or modifications to existing infrastructures. StarQuery 4.0 rapidly delivers dynamic analysis of multidimensional data. Full company-wide deployment often takes only a few weeks.

StarQuery 4.0 is available now worldwide. Web capability will be released later this month.
