The SuperSTAR software suite delivers insight by enabling you to manipulate and analyze any quantitative data at any aggregation level you choose, from microdata (transactions, customer records etc) to macrodata (aggregated data).
It is extraordinarily fast, which reduces infrastructure costs and means all your data can be accessible online, not just summaries or cubes.
The modules:
| Desktop Analytics | Web Analytics | Data Integration | Data Management |
Attributes that make SuperSTAR stand out from the crowd are:
Extraordinary performance. Capable of processing many millions of complex records per second on inexpensive servers. Clients with large datasets such as the Australian Taxation Office, have found that SuperSTAR is orders of magnitude faster than alternatives without loss of functionality.
No loss of information/ full flexibility. All information is available, all of the time. There is no 'pre-specification' of likely queries for cube creation. This means that the full range of ad hoc queries can be answered without the need for re-processing. Organizations, such as Ministerials, that face the need to answer unpredictable questions quickly and accurately find this to be an extremely important benefit.
Incremental updating. This means that existing databases and data warehouses can be mirrored in SuperSTAR. It is possible to have SuperSTAR's unique capabilities without foregoing benefits from legacy systems and other packages.
Simple representation and manipulation of very complex relationships. This enables SuperSTAR to provide powerful analytical capability based on the analysis of cross tabulations, subsets and individual records.
No programming. Mature, robust and extraordinarily easy to use - the user interface and query/reporting facilities have been developed over a period of 14 years to satisfy the requirements of the world's best 'knowledge makers'.
Easy Internet and intranet dissemination and access through SuperWEB. No plug-ins, no downloads, just easy access and understanding.
Instant 'what if' analyses for policy and business modelling. SuperSTAR's capability of creating synthetic fields and derivations at the unit record level enables business or policy options to be applied to relevant transactions and unit records. For example a possible change in taxation rates or deductions; a possible change in prices and discount arrangements.
This means that the effects of these business or policy options can be measured at all levels and all dimensions. For example the impact of this possible change will be XX on this business sector YY on this electoral division, and ZZ on this group of beneficiaries.
'Tightly coupled metadata access'. The SuperSTAR suite comes with a metadata driver that can be adapted to any metadata management system to enable dynamic access to and use of, meta-information through both SuperCROSS and SuperWEB.
