Datawatch unveils support for IBM's TM1 in-memory database

CHELMSFORD, USA: Datawatch Corp., the leading global provider of visual data discovery solutions, will launch support for IBM's TM1 in-memory database at the IBM Information On Demand (IOD) conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday, November 4, 2013.

This new capability will allow existing TM1 users to develop next generation business analytics solutions using the recently announced Datawatch Desktop visual data discovery technology.

Through the use of Datawatch Desktop, TM1 users will be able to design and build applications that offer a visually rich data discovery environment directly against TM1 Cube Views. In addition to being able to incorporate TM1 data into these visualizations, users will also be able to include real-time sources of data, including message buses, tick databases and data from CEP engines as well as less than structured sources of data such as PDF's, print spools, log files and other difficult to access sources of data.

This ability to deliver any data, at the speed of business, offers IBM customers the opportunity to build a new class of analytic applications, delivering data variety, velocity and volume through the use of one product.

"We are extremely excited to be able to announce support for IBM TM1 as part of our participation in IBM's IOD conference," said Ben Plummer, CMO and senior VP of Strategic Alliances for Datawatch.

"IBM's customers understand the value of analytics and by using Datawatch's next generation analytics in combination with TM1, as well as other IBM sources of data like IBM Content Manager OnDemand (CMOD), for which we also recently announced a partnership, they are going to be able to greatly extend the analytic value of all the data in their organizations regardless of its velocity or structure."

The integration with TM1 was achieved using native APIs versus a more generic MDX approach, allowing TM1 customers to access Cube Views and Subsets directly and with greater performance.
