Overcoming Data Analysis Bottlenecks

Spotfire launched its Instrumentation Partner Program in the
summer of 2004 aimed at helping researchers overcome data analysis
bottlenecks by enabling users of DecisionSite to directly access the
high volumes of instrumentation data for immediate analysis. "But the real
value comes from the solution's ability to help ensure consumers
receive the credit counseling and debt management support that best

TransUnion 's advanced analytics capabilities and expertise in
predicting consumer behavior with a combination of information from
the consumer's credit report and interview data from their initial
credit counseling session. The
committee's purpose is to study and validate current trends, issues
