The ‘252 patent titled, “Using Stored Execution Plans for Efficient Execution of Natural Language Questions,” was awarded to Kaycee Lai, CEO of Promethium and is jointly owned by the company. ### A major step toward true data democratization The underlying technology of the patent takes the search-based data analytics experience to a new level of automation. Unlike other data analytics search solutions, this technology doesn’t require data to be in a centralized repository or for SQL to be pre-defined. [Taking a question written in natural language](https://youtu.be/qPsHA1oefi8), the patented technology automates the process of finding the best fit data across disparate data sources, preparing the data, generating the SQL, executing the federated query and returning the results. As this groundbreaking technology is applied, thousands of hours that would typically be spent on manual tasks and moving data can be saved. “This issued patent demonstrates our commitment to democratize data by making the steps in the data analytics processes faster and easier,” said Kaycee Lai, CEO of Promethium. “Technology innovations like this are essential for speeding up data-driven decisions as data volumes and data complexity skyrocket .” ### Innovative technology has received industry accolades In the past year Promethium has received widespread industry recognition with analyst coverage, accolades and awards.
