What is the difference between the batch version of Autobox and the GUI based Autobox?
The “batch” version is designed purely for batch processing and has no GUI and the user passes historical data and receives a forecast (of course the analytical process is always an optional by-product). The engine is classified as a command driven version. It can be installed in a current decision support systems providing an incredible amount of analytical power. On the other hand the AUTOBOX 6.0 is designed as both an interactive program and a batch program. As delivered the user can select to add the BATCH option thus increasing his ability to process thousands of series. This upscale workstation version of the engine (RISC,VAX etc.) allow a user to drive the BATCH from their decision support system by packaging the data in an encrypted form thus tremendously speeding up his mass production of forecasts.
