illuminate Solutions

Illuminate Solutions offers correlation database management systems for building enterprise data warehouses, data marts, and analytics apps.

illuminate Solutions is the pioneer of the correlation database management system (CDBMS) for building enterprise data warehouses, data marts and analytics applications. The CDBMS is a significant departure from the two types of database architectures most commonly used in data warehouse design: relational systems and column databases. The CDBMS eliminates the need to predefine user requirements and to design upfront a database schema by automatically creatig a data-generated schema and indexing 100% of data values on the fly during the loading process. This materially reduces both time-to-analytics and time-to-answer compared to other database technologies. The first version of the correlation database engine was released in Europe in 2005 and, within two years, was in production at more than 40 customer sites in Europe and Latin America. In early 2008, the company began offering its products in North America. illuminate sells and supports its products in all regions exclusively through partner networks comprised of IT consulting services firms and management consulting companies. The company's products include the iLuminate correlation database engine and the iCorrelate data warehouse exploration and ad hoc query tool for data analysis. Queries created using the iCorrelate tool can be save as stored procedures for use with any ODBC-compliant tool.
