| | Computergram International: Norkom Looks for Gold with Alchemist CRM |
 | | One of these, the Vladimir Vapnik technique, developed by a Russian mathematician employed by Bell Labs, has been taken on an OEM basis from KXEN, a French developer of military and meteorological analysis systems, and adapted to the needs of Norkom's target markets, which include the retail finance, insurance and telecommunications sectors. |
 | | However Vapnik "introduces noise" to the sample data, making the training exercise more realistic, and increasing the likelihood that the same levels of accuracy will be carried over from the sample exercise to the full database implementation. |
 | | The ease of use of Vapnik should also make it simpler to put directly into the hands of the end-users, says Kerley, and Alchemist is configured as a thin-client system that will give users direct access to their analytic algorithms via a web portal. |
