Via the Ensemble and
Caché platform, Speedminer supports use of Object Scripting
and VB scripting to perform extremely complicated calculation
and processing. Speedminer comes with hundreds of in-built functions
including time series forecasting, statistical functions etc.,
and users can create custom function using the scripting environment
and save the function for subsequent reuse.
Many OLAP tools do not have strong scripting
support and therefore rely on the third party environment such
as C programming to handle their complex scripting. Not only do
the separate environment require separate skill set, but it also
causes the delay and the complexity to the project.

Indah Water Konsortium (IWK), a wholly-owned
company of the Minister of Finance Incorporated, is Malaysia's
national sewerage company which has been entrusted with the task
of developing and maintaining a modern and efficient sewerage
system for all Malaysians since 1994. Operating and maintaining
over 9,100 public sewage treatment plants, 16,000km networks of
sewerage pipelines and providing scheduled desludging services
to over 350,000 individual septic tanks in Malaysia, IWK needed
an efficient Enterprise Performance Management solution that can
present their KPI and Scorecard on Dashboard that is accessible
by the management to monitor the efficiency of the operation as
well as the quality indicator for all plants and services.
When IWK went in search of a scorecarding solution,
many vendors were invited to showcase their product. During the
presentation, each vendor was given the simple source data for
POC. Most vendors failed to perform the computation within the
time frame given due to C program needed in such complex rules.
The decision to go with Speedminer was led by IWK panels who testified
that Speedminer was the only product capable in performing complex
calculation on the spot, by using VB and Caché object scripting
integrated within the tool. It was augmented by fast completion-
with 1 hour from data extraction to Analysis to creation of dashboards
in POC.
Speedminer won the trust of IWK not due to the
price, but due to the functionality and the rapid implementation
that will bring down the total cost of ownership to lowest among
the competitors.
IWK's scorecards represent one of the
most complicated one of its kind. Every of the scorecard links
to many documents which each of the document is derived from other
sub documents, where in turn is derived from other nested document.
Speedminer has developed innovative solution to ensure all these
dynamic, complicated, and multi-level nested scorecard to be loaded
within seconds, now the task that had been taking weeks to perform,
with Speedminer, it is delivered within seconds, fully automated!
