CHELMSFORD, Mass., Sept. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH), a leading global provider of visual data discovery solutions, announced today that Pedro Vascones, staff engineer for Intel worldwide has been awarded the 2014 Ventana Research Business Technology Leadership Award in the Information Technology Innovation category. Vascones won the award for his use of Datawatch to transform analysis and communication of data being collected in factory operations.

Using Datawatch Desktop, Intel is able to conduct predictive maintenance and machine performance by analyzing the massive amounts of data generated by their automation monitoring system. Prior to adopting Datawatch for visual data discovery and analysis, Intel relied on spreadsheets and specialist experts to collect and analyze production data.

The spreadsheet-based system for analysis relied on complex techniques to interpret the data and a time consuming, manual approach to examining the large volumes of spreadsheet reports generated. With Datawatch, data and spreadsheet expertise that was previously required isn't needed in order to do in-depth analysis. Intel now has educated experts in their field who can also be experts in visualizing and analyzing the data behind the story.

"Congratulations to Intel and Datawatch for their Technology Leadership Award in category of IT Analytics," said Mark Smith, chief executive officer and chief research officer, Ventana Research. "Datawatch's ability to provide an analytic discovery and exploration environment has helped Intel optimize use of information efficiently, including the use of machine data for guiding effective actions and decisions."

This year's winners will receive their awards during the Technology Leadership Awards Ceremony at The 2014 Ventana Research Summit on Oct. 22, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in Burlingame, California.
