Company Profile: About Virtual Gold

Virtual Gold, Inc. is a leading Next Generation business intelligence and data mining software company. It was founded in 1997 by former IBM scientist Dr. Inderpal Bhandari, one of the world's leading authorities on data mining and its timely application to real world problems. Dr. Bhandari and his team, whose roots are with IBM’s T. J. Watson Research Center, have shaped the functionality of their products to be used by non-technical executives and business managers.

Virtual Gold developed its unique, powerful patent-pending software technology that alerts business managers to actionable patterns at decision time. This enables business managers to make better decisions by alerting them to hidden patterns in data that are discovered automatically and prioritized by business impact. While other data mining platforms can find patterns that have statistical merit, Virtual Gold goes much further by discovering patterns that can actually impact the business.

Through its web-based technology, businesses gain timely access to powerful, user-friendly decision support applications, and better insight into data, information enhancement and knowledge discovery. The strategic importance of data mining lies in the fact that such automatic analysis is the sole viable approach to harnessing the exponentially increasing amounts of information in data warehouses of corporations, government agencies and major non-profit organizations.

Virtual Gold has established strong commercial and technical relationships with many leading organizations. Our customers include IBM, Dictaphone Corporation, Merrill Lynch, CBS Sportsline, Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Hornets and other teams of the National Basketball Association and the Professional Golfers Association.
