now available in the cloud, SaffronSierra members can easily and cost-effectively make bona fide sense of what’s really in their data. And by applying all the Experience available to them –– both in their data AND in the minds of their users –– SaffronSierra members can build innovative applications that exploit this natural interplay to support better, faster decisions, and ultimately, better business performance.
SaffronSierra membership also covers open use of Saffron’s REST APIs for Reasoning Methods which include:
- Reasoning by Analogies – Finding what is similar
- Reasoning by Connections — Knowing what is related
- Reasoning by Networks — Seeing how things are connected
- Reasoning by Classifications — Deciding how and where things fit
- Reasoning by Temporal Analysis — Tracking associated events and trends
Plus, by joining SaffronSierra, developers can invent their own analysis methods, and design new ways to apply the Experience in their data to better manage “big data” and today’s growing data analytics challenges.
From the associative-memory perspective, countless worlds of connected Experience — memories about people, places, things, events and timeframes — are hidden in your data, just waiting to be put to work.
With SaffronSierra, you can do precisely that.
