Review: Everything you need to know to start using the potential of progressive data mining resources that computer technology has made possible is in this book. Using these techniques, our firm was able to quickly recognize wasted effort and eliminate it, and then to zero in on where financial rewards were most likely. The result has been better profits, and a happier, less frustrated organization. I strongly recommend this book to business decision makers of all kinds. It will change the way you look at your operation. to quote the Beatles: Messrs K & H assure the public a splendid time is guaranteed to all.
