NetCharts Pro Wins Prestigious 2010 Duke's Choice Award

Recognized by Oracle for Innovative Visualization and Data Intelligence

ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Visual Mining, a leader in business intelligence (BI) dashboard and data visualization solutions, today announced that Oracle named Visual Mining's NetCharts Pro v7.0 the winner of the 2010 Duke's Choice Award in the category of most Innovative Visualization and Data Intelligence project using the Java platform.

The Duke's Choice Award celebrates extreme innovation in projects using the Java technology platform and is awarded to pioneers in the Java community. This year's winners were selected by Oracle's Java technology leadership team.

NetCharts Pro provides developers with a comprehensive graphing library and a robust Java API to easily create compelling and infinitely customizable visualizations for their apps. With the freedom to create infinite chart and graph styles and the ability to reuse templates that support both Adobe Flash and HTML 5/SVG, developers using NetCharts Pro increase application usage, accelerate application time to market, and reduce overall development costs.

"NetCharts Pro enables us to offer graphics that help to slice and dice vital data," said Visual Mining customer Dima Rogozin, Vice President of Engineering, TNS Cymfony. "It would have been too time-consuming and costly to build our own application so being able to use this off the shelf is a huge benefit."

"We are honored to receive this award from the Oracle Java technology leadership team and the Java community for innovation in Java development," said Kevin Scott, VP Engineering, Visual Mining. "With support for both HTML5/ SVG and Adobe Flash, NetCharts Pro v7.0 ensures that Java developers are able to deliver award-winning data visualization capabilities within all of their applications, web- browsers, or mobile devices – ensuring the broadest possible use and adoption for the application."

The 2010 Duke's Choice Awards winners will be featured at the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) tent on Mason Street during JavaOne in San Francisco September 20-23rd.
