Clear winner of two major benchmarks supervised by the SFSO:

1997 - Data Mart Benchmark on a Sun E10000 (Geneva)

  • 40 - 100 times faster than Oracle 7.3 in retieving multidimensional aggegated macrodata

1999 - Data Warehousing Benchmark on a Compaq ES40 (Cannes)

  • 6 - 10 times faster than Oracle and SAS in ad-hoc queries from relational microdata

 
Only WIDAS was able to perform all the benchmark tasks required by the SFSO, particularly the most difficult task of aggregating relational microdata into multidimensional macrodata.
