Abstract
This paper introduces SwissAnalyst, a complete Data Mining environment powered by Weka. SwissAnalyst was developed as an intuitive process layer, which offers all necessary features to place it on par, in terms of functionality, with most major commercial Data Mining software packages. As GNU GPL software, SwissAnalyst offers a license-free platform to develop both proofs of concept for potential business users and complex process-driven solutions for researchers.
