- Monarch (software)
-
Monarch is a desktop report mining tool used to extract data from human readable report files, such as text, PDF, XPS and HTML. The first version of Monarch was released in 1991. The latest release is version 11[1]. The program is developed by Math Strategies and the software is published by Datawatch Corporation. Over 500,000 copies of Monarch have been licenced[2], and the software is in use in over 40,000 organisations.[3]
Monarch allows users to re-use information from existing computer reports, such as text, PDF and HTML files. Monarch can also import data from OLE DB/ODBC data sources, spreadsheets and desktop databases. Users define models that describe the layout of data in the report file, and the software parses the data into a tabular format. The parsed data can be further enhanced with links to external data sources, filters, sorts, calculated fields and summaries. The data can be exported to a variety of formats, primarily spreadsheets.
