Vienna / Austria, 17 September 2015 Data mining specialist Viscovery has released the latest Viscovery® software suite designed to help customers uncover high-value insights in complex data sets. With a new modular architecture, Viscovery SOMine 7 provides improved analytic features and better support for an increasingly diverse user base. More intuitive workflows, better handling of Big Data, and numerous usability enhancements round out the latest Viscovery release.
The new data mining suite Viscovery SOMine 7 contains the complete feature set of the previous standalone tools of the Viscovery 6 product family.

Viscovery SOMine 7 consists of a basic module, Visual Clusters, which can be operated as a standalone tool, and several extension modules, which allow the system to be flexibly expanded as needed. Viscovery SOMine projects now accommodate up to 5 workflows, depending on the licensed modules. Each workflow can be automated using the corresponding Workflow Automation Service, which is available as part of an additional package.
“Our clients are becoming increasingly diverse – ranging from marketing specialists, data scientists and consultants to researchers and clinicians,” says Dr. Gerhard Kranner, CEO of Viscovery Software. “This release has benefited tremendously from the novel applications and increasingly complex needs our users have presented. Viscovery SOMine 7 is a proven data-mining solution, and as we reach more users we strive to keep it always cutting edge, flexible, easy to use and even elegant.”
Viscovery SOMine version 7.0 is a full major release. Each modular configuration is available as a perpetual license or as a term-license for a specified period of time. Network licenses allow operation of the software for concurrent users. Licenses can be purchased online at www.viscovery.net or by contacting sales@viscovery.net.

Vienna / Austria, 28 March 2014 With a further increase in sales compared to the previous year and a return on sales of 15%, Viscovery continued on the road to success in 2013. Licenses and services accounted for more than 75% of the total sales. Particularly dynamic growth was seen for business in the Asia-Pacific region, with an increasing trend toward the end of the year for Europe as well.
New customers acquired in 2013 include the Toyota Motor Corporation, Aisin Infotex, and Nippon Medical School. Collaboration with the Deloitte Group continued to grow: in addition to the many country-specific organizations, Deloitte Anjin and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu chose the Viscovery predictive analytics tool for their professional services. Additional research institutions have newly licensed Viscovery software, including the Research Institute of Shizuoka, Kawasaki Geological Engineering, Kyoto University, University of Piraeus, University of Science Malaysia, and Tohoku University.
The focus for services in 2013 was on the life sciences. In particular, projects in collaboration with the parent company, Biomax Informatics AG, intensified further. Together with the Dutch Centre of Expertise for Chronic Organ Failure (CIRO), research results on comorbidity achieved with Viscovery were published in a well-respected journal (see www.atsjournals.org).
As the result of years of development, version 6.0 of the Viscovery Data Mining Suite was released in the previous year. In addition to many improvements in the user interface, this version provides new functions for the clustering and profiling of high-dimensional data, a feature that is required for explorative analysis of biomedical and textual data.
Viscovery launches major release of its visual data-mining platform
[News Viscovery]
Vienna / Austria, 15 May 2013 Data-mining specialist Viscovery unveiled the latest major release of the Viscovery ® Software Suite, designed to help customers uncover high-value insights in complex data sets. Viscovery version 6.0 offers numerous enhancements, a more intuitive user interface, and several new features with particular importance for biomedical and genetic analysis. The new version is the culmination of years of software development.
Building on Viscovery’s unique, patented technology for explorative analysis and statistical modeling of complex data, many of the new features emerged from the company’s successful expansion into the life sciences. The Group comparison feature and the Cluster characteristics feature have proven to be particularly crucial for data-mining customers in bioscience and medical research.
Other improvements are designed to monitor process states, display images of clustered objects directly over the analytical model, and provide analytical features, such as a correlation- independent measure for the influence of individual attributes on a target attribute. A re-designed graphical interface, enhanced workflow management and other usability improvements round out the latest version of the Viscovery suite. Download a summary of the new features from www.viscovery.net/data-sheets.
“One of the things customers like most about the new release is that the identification of interesting attributes in very high-dimensional data comes with a multiple testing correction which helps avoid false positives, particularly when the data being analyzed contain thousands of variables,” says Dr. Gerhard Kranner, CEO of Viscovery Software. “By revealing high-value insights, whether they are in customer analytics or biomarker identification, without the time and cost of traditional analysis, Viscovery gives organizations the ability to quickly and intuitively extract critical knowledge from complex data sets.”
Viscovery version 6.0 is a full major release and is available immediately. Existing customers are already being upgraded. A free trial version is available at www.viscovery.net.
