This feature is especially important for mobile staff and consultants in the field.
Advanced analytics is impacting how organizations approach their businesses on a daily basis. As employees increasingly work remotely and on the go, it is important to offer analytical solutions that empower today’s mobile workforce,” said John Myers, Managing Research Director for BI/DW at Enterprise Management Associates – a Boulder, CO –based industry analysis firm. “Companies, such as RapidMiner, continue to deliver innovative approaches to providing those advance analytics capabilities. RapidMiner is positioning themselves as a leader in the Big Data analytics space with their solution set.”
RapidMiner Cloud functionality is included in the latest RapidMiner Studio release, which also includes Wisdom of Crowds Operator Recommendations, NoSQL connectors for Cassandra/DataStax and MongoDB, and JSON operators. The new Wisdom of Crowds Operator Recommendations is a giant step forward in making advanced analytics accessible to business analysts by intelligently suggesting ways to create analytic processes based on the wisdom gained from millions of advanced analytic models created by the ever expanding RapidMiner community. The cloud connectors are also included free of charge in the latest release of RapidMiner Server Professional, Professional Plus and Enterprise Editions, which also include NoSQL connectors for Cassandra/DataStax and MongoDB, and JSON operators.
