SuperVIEW is a powerful product suite for provisioning rich, interactive Gov2.0 / Web 2.0 data exploration sites for either public facing or intranet deployments. It supports interactive Map-based data visualizations using ESRI ArcGIS 9.3 Server and Javascript technologies. Through RESTful interfaces, SuperVIEW utilizes SuperSTAR's powerful data analytics engine to quickly generate ad hoc multi-dimensional tables for its visualizations from potentially large and complex underlying datasets. The SuperVIEW technology comes in a variety of user-experience packages, such as View Experience and Data Experience. |

SuperWEB is a Web solution for ad hoc tabulation, providing access and analysis of large privacy protected, confidentialized microdata tables of billions of cells. SuperWEB is designed for people who want to ask their own questions and create their own reports rather than rely on information produced by other people. Unlike other Business Intelligence and reporting products SuperWEB provides access to all the available data and allows users to follow a Query-Answer-Query process. This means data is turned into knowledge much quicker. Extremely fast queries allow for self-service querying and generation of integrated cross tabulations, charts, and maps. Data presented on a map can be examined in aggregated form or in detailed unit record view format. |

SuperCROSS is the desktop client for the SuperSTAR platform. It has a powerful and intuitive, drag-and-drop graphical interface that facilitates fast, flexible tabulation and analytics for information producers. SuperCROSS is an easy-to-use solution for analyzing data at any level of detail, and then presenting the information in a variety of formats including tables, charts, and maps. Powerful, customizable confidentiality plugins allow for greater automation of disclosure control, eliminating mistakes and reducing the time required to publish information. |

The SuperSTAR suite of products takes a unique approach to analytical processing and reporting through the application of ‘column-based’ analytical technology, coupled with easy web dissemination of information in one integrated environment. It allows users to manipulate and analyze any quantitative data at any aggregation level they choose, from microdata (transactions, customer records) to macro data (aggregated data). In contrast to other analytical and reporting tools, usually categorized as ‘online analytical processing’ (OLAP), SuperSTAR uses an advanced database structure that delivers extraordinary performance for analytical operations, which enables it to work directly from microdata, in addition to summarized data and allows the capability to be made available to any user with appropriate access privileges.
This unique technology offers the following benefits:
- Extraordinary performance. Capable of processing many millions of complex records per second on inexpensive servers.
- 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 any question can be asked and answered of the data at run time. This removes the problem of “lag” when responding to ad-hoc questions.
- Fast implementation, easy administration. SuperSTAR’s power and flexibility provides a self service model to the user, meaning less reliance on IT administration which in turn reduces time and cost.
- 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.
- Ease of Use. The products are designed to be easy to learn to use, have low dependency on IT admin operations and provide more capability to the hands of the user. This removes change management issues which typically involve business process alignment, training costs and process and systems documentation.
- 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. Synthetic fields and derivations can be created at the unit record level. This means that the effects of business or policy options can be measured at all levels and all dimensions.
- Caters fully for the range of audiences that need access to the data. SuperSTAR offers three interfaces – SuperCROSS, SuperWEB and SuperVIEW - designed for different audiences, but importantly with a single underlying source of information to ensure everyone sees the same numbers.
