"To get these graphs to look like the way our customers need them, we would have to settle for less with another tool."

Overview

Mathematica powers the analytics inside nGenera Corporation's new on-demand tool that allows companies to use live financial feeds to analyze their decisions.

Alan Savoy, a technical manager and architect at nGenera, combined the extensive plotting and data importing and exporting capabilities of Mathematica with webMathematica to build and deploy a web-based product that is customized to customers' needs. He says, "The amount of code that's required to produce the same amount of work is a fraction of the amount of code that we would have to write with other tools, so the time to delivery is much faster."
