30 years. Early in my career, at the Kellogg
Company, …. I have recently been introducedto a
tool called “Sherlock”. Sherlock is a complete DSS
system. This system is truly amazing and offers
automated analytics modules (“analytics in a box”)
and the most advanced “data visualization” that I
have seen. In addition, the system is fast,
comprehensive and is seamless and elegant in
handling different & disparate forms of data. Overall,
