New Data Mining And Visualization Tool From Thomson Scientific

Thomson Scientific will shortly launch Thomson Data Analyzer, the intelligence tool.

The successor to Derwent Analytics, the Thomson Data Analyzer desktop software offers an interface for managing and extracting business-critical insights from patent and scientific data within in-house or commercial databases.

Thomson Data Analyzer provides an easy way to analyze trends, profile competitors, avoid or uncover patent and copyright infringement, and identify strategic development opportunities in information form a wide variety of Thomson Scientific databases including:

* value-added patent records from Derwent World Patents Index and Patents Citation Index;

* full-text patent documents from Delphion, MicroPatent, PatentWeb and Aureka;

* current and retrospective multidisciplinary journal information Web of Science and INSPEC via ISI Web of Knowledge.

Customers including information specialists, legal professionals, research scientists, and human resources professionals can also adapt Thomson Data Analyzer to mine their own in-house databases and Microsoft Excel files.

"Thomson Data Analyzer is the second incarnation of Derwent Analytics, which was created in response to the challenge for businesses to fully understand and maximize the value of their own information and intellectual assets, and those of their competitors," said Nick Fallon, director of product development, Thomson Scientific. "Thomson Data Analyzer answers the increasing problem of information overload, letting the technology do the hard work and freeing the user to focus on analysis, which they can now perform on an even wider range of data sources."
