NeoCore Inc., developer of the NeoCore XML Information Management System (XMS), has released NeoCore Insight, an information exploration tool that provides instant access to database information. NeoCore Insight allows businesses greater understanding about the information stored in the XMS database without need for application development. The power of the underlying engine is exposed by a number of access methods, including charting, creating user-defined gauges that can be set into a “dashboard”, and revealing patterns within the information, without technical knowledge of the data’s structure or indexing. NeoCore’s additional complementary technologies include a recent integration with Altova’s XMLSPY 5, which enables database access and manipulation of XMS from within the XMLSPY development environment, and planned upcoming integration with an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) tool. Insight is available immediately. www.neocore.com
