11Ants Analytics is committed to making advanced data mining accessible to non-technical people. We build incredibly powerful data mining software which is deceptively simple to use.

This simplicity is important, as it means our software can be used by people who previously never would have considered mining their own data - empowering massive advances in business, science and government.

11Ants Model Builder upgrades Microsoft Excel into a powerful data mining tool. Anyone who can use Excel can mine data, and do so in a very familiar environment. The intimidation most non-technical people experience when attempting data mining is completely eliminated by our embedded HyperLearn technology, which emulates the best practices of a data mining expert and does the complex work for the user – a highly experienced, highly competent autopilot.

11Ants Model Builder is the result of over three years of development by 11Ants Analytics, and is inspired by machine learning research at New Zealand’s University of Waikato – home of one of the most respected data mining and machine learning groups in the world.

11Ants Analytics Ltd is a venture backed company located in Hamilton, New Zealand. Our shareholders are Endeavour Capital, The New Zealand Venture Investment Fund and WaikatoLink (the commercialization company of the University of Waikato).
