WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwire - June 15, 2010) - One of the most respected and oldest sovereign-wealth funds has selected data visualization software from Advanced Visual Systems ([ www.avs.com ]) (PINKSHEETS: [ AVSC ]) to provide data visualization technology to its risk management practice.

The OpenViz data visualization system from AVS has been utilized by numerous financial institutions, hedge funds and risk management software companies to identify complex patterns, trends and anomalies in financial data and facilitate the processing of proprietary risk metrics.

According to Syed Ali, VP of Client Services at AVS, "OpenViz was selected by this AAA-rated investment firm because of its ability to illuminate subtle performance characteristics in a $120 billion portfolio and deliver a sophisticated graphical portrait of core measures. A majority of risk management software systems do not provide the level of fine-grain control offered by OpenViz and as a consequence forces decision-makers to look at summarized metrics that hide the subtle, underlying variations that can often be early indicators of exposure."

OpenViz ([ www.openviz.com ]) is a comprehensive data visualization system used by leading enterprises and software vendors to add highly expressive graphics to analytic applications, dashboards and other information systems. OpenViz offers hundreds of techniques for extracting, manipulating and presenting all types of data in Java or Microsoft desktop and Web-based solutions. Prominent implementations of the technology are in the fields of business intelligence, risk management, customer analytics and life sciences.
