News Release
MITS Discover 6.0 Launches with 30+ New Features
New release of the leading OLAP Business Intelligence system focuses on usability enhancements
SEATTLE, WA, April 28, 2006 - MITS is announcing the release of a new version of MITS Discover, the OLAP Business Intelligence system for interactive analytics. MITS Discover 6.0 is currently available for IBM UniVerse and UniData, with support for other MultiValue databases to follow. Packed with more than 30 new features, this new version is offered at no cost to users on the MITS annual support plan.
The move from MITS Discover 5.4 to MITS Discover 6.0 shows the company’s deep commitment to continue improving productivity for the more than 3,000 end-user organizations, resellers, and systems integrators currently using the software.
Vast Usability Improvements
The release of MITS Discover 6.0 marks the most significant usability improvement in the history of the product. This substantial enhancement focuses on MITS Discover’s popular Web-based user interface, through which users can explore MITS Discover applications in their preferred Web browsers. Current MITS Discover users will appreciate the next-generation user interface in version 6.0, and new users will find its intuitive user interface easy to navigate.
"Over the past six months, we have committed our resources to usability testing and meeting with our customers and partners to assure substantial usability improvements in version 6.0," Fred Owen, president of MITS, states. "I believe this release represents a strong step forward in the power of the product."
A highlight of this MITS Discover release is the new MitsWeb interface, which has an updated look and feel. New drop-down menus replace pop-up windows, giving users fast access to streamlined data summaries and drill down. In addition, now it’s easier for users to add or delete columns, print entire flash screens (by exporting to Adobe PDF), print currently displayed rows of flash screens, and export to Microsoft Excel.
MITS Discover 6.0 offers an expanded security model that includes a password expiration feature and the ability to restrict access to information on every level.
Better Data Visualization
In MITS Discover, dashboards give users a way to track their companies’ key metrics at a glance, with information pulled right from the application. In response to direct requests from customers and partners, the company has improved dashboard functionality in version 6.0 of the product. Dashboard improvements include: an updated, Stoplight dashboard object that changes color based on the data; the ability to show, hide, and resize the dashboard; automatic grouping of dashboard areas based on headings; and one-click access to edit the dashboard. These enhancements represent the company’s intention to provide better data visualization as MITS Discover continues to mature.
Enhanced Detail Display
The list of detailed transactions no longer appears as a static view that users must page through to get to the data they need. Detail display in MITS Discover 6.0 offers the following updated functionality:
- The ability to sort by columns and set the default sort order for detail display, with up to four different levels of sorting
- The use of hyperlinks in columns to allow users to integrate MITS Discover with their outside applications
New Architecture for Browser Accessibility
The Java Gateway in MITS Discover 6.0 gives users an alternative to the existing Windows-based gateway. While the older gateway is still available for MITS Discover, the Java Gateway offers greater platform-independent support and improved charting. The release of the Java Gateway delivers a new Charting Engine, so users can choose from a variety of chart types, including two new dashboard objects (Speedometer and Thermometer) and eight of the most popular charting options, including Line Charts, Stacked Bar Charts, and Area Charts.
