Kapow Software Harnesses Data in Motion and Delivers Big Business Value with Release of Consumable Big Data App Libraries for the Enterprise

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kapow Software, a leading Big Data solution provider, today announced the availability of its new Kapow Enterprise 9.2 Big Data Integration Platform. The powerful, enterprise-grade software platform is now available for subscription. It is designed to deliver critical, but hard-to-mine business insights for the masses. It lets companies rapidly respond to market changes and competitor moves, improve the customer experience, protect brands and citizens, accelerate the ability to make smart business decisions and foster a data-driven culture. The new platform solves key concerns about delivering time to value and addresses a lack of Big Data skills and unstructured data accessibility. With Kapow Enterprise 9.2, timely information is delivered to the right employees at the right time for business agility.

Using Kapow Enterprise 9.2, companies can integrate any cloud or on-premise data source using Kapow Software's patented, intelligent software robots and Synthetic APIs. Once the critical data is found and surgically extracted, Kapow Enterprise 9.2 is the only Big Data integration platform available for departments across the enterprise to deliver timely, valuable information to its workforce in an easily consumable form called Kapplets™ through an enterprise app library offering called the Kapow KappZone™, based on roles within the organization. KappZones can be easily branded and distributed for employees to discover and use on any computing device they choose.

"Kapow Enterprise 9.2 is the first Big Data solution to create a data-driven advantage by connecting employees to a goldmine of information that arms them with key insights and the ability to respond to them rapidly," said Karl Ederle, chief product officer at Kapow Software. "Instead of relying on costly Big Data experts or slow, expensive infrastructure rollouts that can't deliver rapid business value from dynamic data in motion, companies of all kinds can attain critical insights to advance business forward and add to the bottom line."

Kapow Enterprise 9.2 features an intuitive user interface that doesn't require deep software coding skills or a Big Data science degree. Kapow Software has improved its parallel processing with the ability for multiple Kapplets to activate more robots simultaneously to increase the velocity of Big Data insights. With Kapow Enterprise 9.2, thousands of software collection robots can be activated at once to service Big Data integration needs across departments. Using a consumer technology analogy, its parallel processing is similar to ability of modern smartphones to have numerous apps running at once in parallel and delivering that information back to users in an easily consumable format. Another key feature of the Kapow Enterprise 9.2 Big Data Integration Platform is the ability to mine and surgically extract information from any data source with business logic intact, and then automate a response with new bi-directional, read/write functionality. With the auto-response feature, businesses can increase revenues through improved customer satisfaction and a better experience, IP protection, fraud detection and prevention, and other innovative uses.

By using Kapow Software's Big Data integration platform, Click A Taxi, an award-winning e-commerce platform, can automatically translate users' location into an address that's dispatched to a local taxi company. Its customers can get a taxi no matter where they are in the world without even knowing the name of the local taxi company. Kapow Software makes it possible to perform high-volume integrations across various partner systems – including restaurants, hotels and flight bookings – without depending on traditional APIs or complex integrations. Click A Taxi is disrupting the taxi industry with one of the fastest-growing mobile apps of its kind in the world.

"Without Kapow technology, we couldn't have expanded our offerings into this many cities so fast. Our average partner integration now takes less than two days to complete," says Soren Halskov Nissen, CEO of Click A Taxi, recently honored as Danish Startup of the Year by The Next Web. "The business agility benefits of Kapow's powerful Big Data integration platform have helped us surpass more than 100,000 bookings a month and expand our presence into new markets much more quickly. It is also a much smoother, stress-free process using Kapow."
