Spotfire DecisionSite 9.0 – now available
Earlier this month Spotfire DecisionSite 9.0 became available for download for Spotfire customers. This release includes a huge number of improvements in our analytics capabilities; see http://www.spotfire.com/products/whatsnew.cfm and the PDF Whats_New_in_DecisionSite_9.pdf available from that page, for an overview of the new stuff.
The main driver for choosing what to implement in this version has been to improve the analytical capabilities in general and to simplify handling of wide data sets in particular.
We started out just about a year ago by mining our internal knowledge base with enhancement requests and unresolved issues. This gave us a lot of ideas of areas of the product, where improved functionality would give a lot of customer value.
With the resources available, we decided that we should invest in improving the analytical capabilities by:
- Simplify handling of a huge number of columns in the data; to achieve this, we set up the goal that it should be possible to analyze data with 10000 columns.
- Improving the handling of color ranges and categorical coloring.
- Improve label drawing in plots.
- Improve overall performance.
These high level goals resulted in a major refactoring of many components that have been around for almost a decade now and we are now well positioned for improving the product even further in future releases.
We have also exposed quite a lot of new exciting capabilities for our API users.
