Sampson Data-Pattern Index
Technology
What Is the Sampson Data-Pattern Index™?
A patented invention that creates a data matrix from journal log
data, preserving the full detail of transactions. The Data-Pattern
Index™ then selects these transactions according to specified
accounting types (accounts, debit/credit, frequency, complexity,
Boolean, etc.) -- but goes one significant step further than other
tools:
Data Matrix Cube
Identification of patterns adds true transparency to transaction data, highlighting the unusual among the repetitive, to allow accurate interpretation and better decision-making
(U.S. Patents: 5,212,639; 5,390,113, and 6,059,392)
The Purpose
The purpose of the technology's development is to enhance the
information presently supplied to supervisors and specialists, to
restore associative qualities needed to understand transaction events
and components, to assess flows and trends, and to facilitate
intervention where needed to ensure the health and optimal
functioning of the department, company, or unit.
The technology is applied via software utilizing the Linux operating
system, a favorite of "Big Iron" firms and computer "geeks" for very
practical reasons -- including speed. The DPI technology posts one
line of accounting data instead of the average five lines of
conventional software. Computer time/personnel requirements are
significantly reduced.
Scope and speed
Scope and speed capabilities are expected to hold and increase
through subsequent generations of DPI products, so long as moveable
disc storage remains the standard computing configuration. Yet user
interface with these powerful tools is invisible and effortless.
The current version is in Linux, but because some users will wish to
operate in a Microsoft environment, an adaptation of the product will
offer that configuration as well. Both versions will be accessed via
Internet browser, supported by DPI.
