Interactive data-mining technology gives you the most powerful forensic tool on
the market today. Payments and events outside the norm immediately pop out at
you in a graphical presentation.

You get a powerful telescope into business performance. You’ll see a clear,
coherent picture of where spending works and where it does not. You’ll see details
instantly, exactly customized to the situation of the moment.

Some call our technology a hybrid of the best in performance management,
business intelligence, and content management.



What you’ll get from Salient:

Coherency – an ability to make sense out of all of the data generated every day by
every business activity

Transparency – an ability to see immediately exactly how every action and every
person contributes to the mission at every level

Controllability – a way for every contributor to use the same data to continually
improve his or her practices

Map
Once you have designed the solution, you can use map mode
to map data from a variety of data sources so that they can be
easily transformed to formatted UXT files. The resulting files
include the required Acquire headers and record layout as
specified in design mode. The transformation places the fields
in the correct order, length, and format, in the output records,
so that the files are ready to be applied to the UXT system.

For each UXT file, you set up a transformation that defines
the data source, and matches the fields in the UXT file to
the corresponding fields in the data source. A complete UXT
solution will store transformation settings for several UXT files in
addition to the schema files created in design mode. Once you                                  Salient ETL Map Mode View

have set up the transformation for a UXT file, you can run it in
map mode to verify the results. After the results are verified, we
recommend using automation mode to run the transformations
for regular updates to the UXT system.

Automate
You can use automation mode to run multiple file
transformations, manage files, start and stop the UXT Server,
run Acquire to apply files, back up the solution, and more. In
other words, you can perform all of the tasks necessary to create
and update a complete UXT solution in automation mode. Each
file transformation or other action is referred to as a “process.”
You can set up multiple processes in nearly any order and then
store them in a runtime group so that you can easily run the
entire group of processes by calling Salient ETL from a batch
                                                                                               Salient ETL Automation Mode View

from within Salient ETL.

Salient UXT® is a super-scalable
in-memory intelligence processing
and visualization technology platform.
Multi-Sourcing
Using a “hub-and-spoke” model, the UXT server bolts onto multiple data                                               “Unlike a traditional BI

performance. UXT uses this data to render a true and exhaustive accounting of                                        analytical processing, the
value that is added by transactions and/or limited by constraints.                                                   Salient platform does not

Traditional BI has limitations (such as data explosion and lack of granularity)                                      Article ID: M05-29
caused by pre-summary and pre-calculation of answer sets. The UXT multi-
dimensional design avoids these limitations by means of a unique “associative”
data management strategy. This data management strategy associates every
entity relationship in the data and then re-associates it at query time. This
way it eliminates summary hierarchies, predetermined drill paths and drill
procedure.

Embedded Mining and Analysis Tools
UXT facilitates interactive mining and visualization: it eliminates the need
to “set up” or “re-state” drill paths and calculations. Users can redirect
their interest to higher or lower levels of detail, or to different attributes and
dimensions of information.

As they do so, the full screen will refresh instantly with each click. Shifting
analytical forms is just as easy: users can click on graphical icons that
represent different ways of looking at data. Taking advantage of the rich suite
of tools embedded into UXT, users can instantly shift between comparisons,
exceptions, distributions, and correlative trends, as well as a host of
combinations of these forms.

forth when working in the office or traveling. For example:

     •    Drill down from a high level view to a single customer, product,
          recipient, asset, etc., in just a few clicks.
     •    Organize the data using simple drop-down menus.
     •    Use collections to selectively filter results.
     •    View performance with analyses such as comparative, distribution
          (scattergram), and time-series (trend). For any of these, click a button
          to switch between numbers and graph formats.
     •    Change the time period to see days, weeks, months, periods, or year-to-
          date.
     •    Create bookmarks of important and frequently used views.
     •    Print or export for access to the data from other applications.
          Much more.

Speed and scalability
Salient WebView scales to the size of your data, so you can always see the

Intranet connection allows, usually in just a few seconds.

have the time or the means to connect to the corporate server

That’s why Salient created the Load & Go™ Mobile Data Analysis Utility. From
representatives in the field to executives away on long trips, Load & Go users
can “load” any section of the master database on nearly any computer and
“go” mobile, without any network or Internet connection.

Fast Start-Up: Load & Go takes just a few minutes to install and run, providing
a fully-functional system (including customized database, Server, and Minder
Viewer client) on nearly any machine.

Full Mobility: Once the database is “loaded”, users can run the Salient

Geo connects to mapping web sites
You can link points on the map to popular mapping sites on the Internet (for

Mapping by attribute
Location markers typically indicate magnitude or change, but you can easily
switch to a view showing location attributes (for example, type, territory, etc.).
Different types of markers indicate characteristics of the location. These maps
can reveal inconsistencies, inefficiencies or areas of opportunity.
                                                                                                              Attributes – Mapping by channel.
Thematic maps
View averages and totals for areas within the map. Shades of color can indicate
the average, total, difference, or percent change for all the locations within each
region, state, county, town, etc. Spot areas with unusually high or low results,
compare percent change across counties, get an easy overview of geographic
trends. Thematic mapping is available together with or instead of mapping by
location.                                                                                                     Thematic – Average price across counties. The darkest

Demographics
Map layers oftentimes contain valuable statistics about demographics (income,
sex, age, family size, ethnicity, etc.). Salient Geo can use this information,
plotting it on the map for easy integration with your data. Like thematic
mapping, each area within the map is shaded bases on its demographic average
or total. This provides valuable new insights for marketing, planning, product
assortments, penetration, etc.
                                                                                                              Demographics – Average age across county

     - Select locations or areas within a square, circle or polygon
     - Reverse the selection (i.e. select all locations not currently selected)

performance metrics, or turn them into a collection for further analysis.                                     Highlight Characteristics – Highlighting makes it easy to

“The Salient application is very fast. You don’t lose continuity.
You don’t lose focus.”

                                                                            Rick Cottingham, Havell’s SLI




“Salient gives us a good window on how we’re doing in the
supermarkets and it allows us a great deal of flexibility
in how we look at the data.”
                                                                                         Carvel Ice Cream




“On a day-to-day basis, we can get a gross profit report by product
packaging… It used to take 8-9 days.”

                                                                      Curt Root, Controller, Gillette Group




“Volume used to be king. It’s not anymore. It’s profitability and margin.
Salient has a great product. It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s just virtually
maintenance free. Would I recommend it to others? In a heartbeat.”
                                                                               Salient Client of 10+ Years




“It’s revolutionary... It’s a real client-server system with on-line,
real-time information that we get on a daily basis.”

                                                                              Silver Eagle Distributing Co.




“The system exceeded our expectations.
The result is a 3% recovery in the operating margin.”

                               Neuri Amábile F. Pereira, Spaipa S.A. Industria, Brasileira de Bebidas

  • 3. Introduction A New Way to Work with Information The Salient Difference: Salient is pioneering a whole new information paradigm – one more flexible and simpler than the old “push” method of reports. It’s a zero-overhead, self-service, PUSH PULL facts-on-demand approach. dependent autonomous long delay quick-fire inaccurate accurate For the first time, managers and workers can help themselves quickly and regularly guesswork fact-based to meaningful facts. This fundamentally changes how work gets done. time-consuming efficient Interactive data-mining technology gives you the most powerful forensic tool on the market today. Payments and events outside the norm immediately pop out at you in a graphical presentation. You get a powerful telescope into business performance. You’ll see a clear, coherent picture of where spending works and where it does not. You’ll see details instantly, exactly customized to the situation of the moment. Some call our technology a hybrid of the best in performance management, business intelligence, and content management. What you’ll get from Salient: Coherency – an ability to make sense out of all of the data generated every day by every business activity Transparency – an ability to see immediately exactly how every action and every person contributes to the mission at every level Controllability – a way for every contributor to use the same data to continually improve his or her practices Connecting Activity to Results Salient Corporation, 203 Colonial Drive, Horseheads, NY 14845 USA P. 607 739 4511 F. 607 739 4045 E. info@salient.com www.salient.com capabilities_final

Salient ETL saves the settings for all of these tasks in Salient ETL facilitates the creation a single project file (.XML), so you can open the project and automation of a complete solution for Salient UXT®. Using and modify settings as necessary. Salient ETL, you can: Design Set up the directory The design mode (Figure 1) of Salient ETL allows you to design a UXT solution structure and other options using simple controls, drop-down menus, and data windows. You can define for the UXT solution. data cubes, keys, dimensions, data fields, data field pairings, and conversion tables. Based on the information entered, Salient ETL does the following: Design a UXT solution, including data cubes, keys, • Creates UXT schema files. The UXT schema files include the Master dimensions, etc. Definition, Data Field Master, and Data Cube Master files. These files define the components of the UXT solution. Map data from a data • Creates a list of UXT files required to input data and descriptions from the source to the required UXT data source. input files. This is also • Populates map mode with the list of UXT files and their required fields, known as “transformation.” including the length, type, format, and header information, as entered in design mode. Automate the transformation and other processes, so that you can run the UXT system and obtain regular data updates with minimal administrative tasks.

  • 6. Salient ETL™ Integration Tool I. Integrate Salient ETL ™ Map Once you have designed the solution, you can use map mode to map data from a variety of data sources so that they can be easily transformed to formatted UXT files. The resulting files include the required Acquire headers and record layout as specified in design mode. The transformation places the fields in the correct order, length, and format, in the output records, so that the files are ready to be applied to the UXT system. For each UXT file, you set up a transformation that defines the data source, and matches the fields in the UXT file to the corresponding fields in the data source. A complete UXT solution will store transformation settings for several UXT files in addition to the schema files created in design mode. Once you Salient ETL Map Mode View have set up the transformation for a UXT file, you can run it in map mode to verify the results. After the results are verified, we recommend using automation mode to run the transformations for regular updates to the UXT system. Automate You can use automation mode to run multiple file transformations, manage files, start and stop the UXT Server, run Acquire to apply files, back up the solution, and more. In other words, you can perform all of the tasks necessary to create and update a complete UXT solution in automation mode. Each file transformation or other action is referred to as a “process.” You can set up multiple processes in nearly any order and then store them in a runtime group so that you can easily run the entire group of processes by calling Salient ETL from a batch Salient ETL Automation Mode View file or other automated procedure. You can also run processes from within Salient ETL.

Multi-Sourcing Using a “hub-and-spoke” model, the UXT server bolts onto multiple data “Unlike a traditional BI sources.

It does this it enables free association, by leveraging advanced data compression, n-dimensional grid indexing, so each user can assemble symmetrical multi-processing, and advanced programming technique. the facts that fit the Distributed massively parallel processing allows extremely large data sets situation at hand without to be spread among many servers. This is done without sacrificing nearly having to think about a instantaneous response speed, a critical attribute of the technology. hierarchy.” Super High Performance Query Processing Ventana Research Traditional BI has limitations (such as data explosion and lack of granularity) Article ID: M05-29 caused by pre-summary and pre-calculation of answer sets. The UXT multi- dimensional design avoids these limitations by means of a unique “associative” data management strategy. This data management strategy associates every entity relationship in the data and then re-associates it at query time. This way it eliminates summary hierarchies, predetermined drill paths and drill procedure. Embedded Mining and Analysis Tools UXT facilitates interactive mining and visualization: it eliminates the need to “set up” or “re-state” drill paths and calculations. Users can redirect their interest to higher or lower levels of detail, or to different attributes and dimensions of information. As they do so, the full screen will refresh instantly with each click. Shifting analytical forms is just as easy: users can click on graphical icons that represent different ways of looking at data. Taking advantage of the rich suite of tools embedded into UXT, users can instantly shift between comparisons, exceptions, distributions, and correlative trends, as well as a host of combinations of these forms.
