SOM business (data mining using self- organizing maps) continues in 2013 to take hold in a wider international market.
New customers acquired in 2012 include Japan Aerospace, Honda R&D, the online-game provider Funstage, the Ministry of Finance in Singapore, and the loyalty-program specialist Pinpoint, among others.
