Vero Software (“Vero”) a leading supplier of CAD/CAM software to the mould and die sector today announces that it is launching a new business division as Vero Insight designed to address the Business Intelligence needs of the Manufacturing sector.

The company believes that there is a new market in the provision of a graphically enabled Business Intelligence tool that can analyse and present unique insights into very large sets of data. To that end it has licensed the leading data mining solution Mineset from Silicon Graphics Inc. in California and further developed the system for specific market sectors.

The first version will be made available immediately with an entry level “Personal Edition” becoming available in February. The enterprise versions will be made available around the world in conjunction with specific partners having individual local or sector knowledge. Mineset is already in use with British Petroleum, Chevron Texaco and Bell Canada.

Don Babbs, Chief Executive of Vero says, “While Business Intelligence tools have become the norm for the financial and consumer markets the value within the ever increasing data belonging to the manufacturing industry has been largely overlooked. The formation of an experienced data mining team together with our source code applications based on the renowned Mineset engine will see the start of a process allowing manufacturing and industry users alike to unlock the benefits of their data collection systems.”
