Distributed analytics method for creating, modifying, and deploying software pneurons to acquire, review, analyze targeted data

Abstract

A method and system for the integration of disparate data stored within an Information Technology infrastructure of a company is provided. The system and method enables holistic, real time control of data discovery, retrieval and analysis. The system combines data mining, retrieval and analytics at the source of the data, thereby solving traditional problems with disparate and distributed data, systems, business processes and analytics across an organization. The system enables a user to configure and target data, then apply rules, workflows and analytics from one central source. This process is accomplished by distributing functions in the form of software pneurons against the existing infrastructure for maximum processing while preserving a robust and extendable suite of definitions. The system uses the existing application, network and hardware assets and enables connection to the native data, maps only the data fields that need to be mapped to carry out the desired analysis, runs the analysis and then returns the data to a central location to be assembled, analyzed, organized and/or reported.
