	Panoratio Database Images GmbH http://www.panoratio.com Panoratio Database Images GmbH has developed a new technology with which organizations are able to quickly analyze extremely complex data structures. Users save both costs and time with this analytical process. In contrast to all methods used to date, the interpretation and analysis is not carried out on the data itself, but rather in a precise and complete image of the data without loss of detail or granularity, the Panoratio Database Image "PDI". The PDI footprint is a reduction by a factor of 100:1 to 1000:1 with respect to original data, through patented processes. The analysis of the information contained is thereby significantly facilitated, optimization and simulations are actively available to the user and there are no limitations with respect to the number of attributes or dimensions represented in the data. The response times for the analysis of even very complex datasets (2000+ Dimensions X 100M + Rows) are within the range of seconds. A well stocked PC is sufficient for the hardware platform. The PDI format is also suited to the distribution, portability, syndication or archiving of datasets with analytical possibilities. Panoratio Database Images was established in March 2003 as a Siemens spin-off in Munich. Its customers include KarstadtQuelle, DAB bank, Siemens Power Generation, Sixt AG and the Robert Bosch Hospital in Stuttgart.
