CeBIT 2009 was a great event for both Rapid-I and our visitors.

Many visitors could hardly believe it: the big data mining and predictive analytics companies like SAS and SPSS skipped this year's CeBIT. As a consequence, Rapid-I was the only company left which provides data mining solutions and services. And what made things even better (as you certainly know): Rapid-I was not only the only company providing data mining solutions but they are also providing them freely available and open-source. This combination naturally led to a large amount of visitors who wanted to learn more about data mining and how data mining can help to optimize their business.

Although this year many companies did not visit the CeBIT at all, CeBIT still is the No.1 marketplace for digital solutions, trends and innovations and inspires and energizes the international ICT industry. We really would like to thank all the visitors and partners who made the exhibition a valuable experience to us.

Knowledge in three Clicks: RapidInsight

Beside RapidMiner and the data mining and predictive business intelligence services of Rapid-I, two new products were also presented: RapidInsight and RapidSentilyzer. RapidInsight is best described as a light version of RapidMiner and enables the user to get insight into the given data within only a few mouse clicks. The data mining and analysis processes of RapidInsight are automatically optimized and do not need any user interaction. The visitors really liked the simplicity of RapidInsight which will be available for a affordable price together with learning materials and the underlying RapidMiner processes to ease the application of more complex data mining processes if necessary.

Market Insight with RapidSentilyzer

The second new product of Rapid-I is called RapidSentilyzer and combines data analysis and automatic text classification capabilities. Based on web service technologies, RapidSentilyzer analyzes web pages and is able to distinguish between different sentiments about your company and your products and delivers aggregated statistics about your market perception. The visitors were completely surprised when they were asked for a sentence which was online and directly classified according to the basic emotion and the sentiment of the sentence.

The CeBIT 2009 was a great success and we again thank all visitors for the valuable and interesting discussions.
