CHELMSFORD, Mass., Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH), the leading global provider of information optimization solutions, today announced the release of Datawatch Monarch Professional v11.5.  This new release continues to extend Datawatch's lead in the ability to deliver data variety to business intelligence and big data solutions through its information optimization products by allowing users to more effectively manage and collaborate in the development of data models to decompose semi-structured and unstructured data sources, as well as delivers support for modeling sources in Japanese.  Datawatch's new model management capabilities will allow organizations to develop models using Datawatch Monarch Professional and then store and share those models inside the Datawatch Enterprise Server through a secure collaboration function, extending the value of these models to more users across the organization.  Additionally, Japanese language support in Datawatch Monarch Professional 11.5 enables the trapping, transformation, processing, and analysis of semi-structured and unstructured content from Japanese character sets.  This support maintains the alignment of full-width and half-width characters within an input source, allowing Japanese users of  Datawatch Monarch Professional to easily transform, analyze and export reports, PDF files, machine data, print streams, EDI streams and other semi-structured sources of data delivered to users in Japanese.  This technological breakthrough is foundational to the future support for other full-width character sets, like Chinese and Korean.
