Attunity Announces Alliance with Business Objects to Deliver Real-Time Business
Intelligence
Tuesday December 7, 8:45 am ET
WAKEFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 2004--Attunity Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU -
News), a leading provider of enterprise data integration software, today
announced an agreement with Business Objects (Nasdaq: BOBJ; Euronext Paris ISIN
code: FR0004026250-BOB), the world's leading provider of business intelligence
(BI) solutions, to engage in joint technical, sales and marketing activities to
provide real-time business intelligence solutions. Under the terms of the
agreement, Attunity will become a member of the Business Objects Technology
Partner Program.
Through a collaborative development effort, integrated support for Attunity has
been built into BusinessObjects(TM) Data Integrator 6.5 to enable customers to
update a data warehouse or data mart in real-time by moving only the changes to
operational data sources. Attunity provides change data capture for relational
and non-relational data sources and streams changes in real-time to Data
Integrator, an enterprise-class batch and real-time data integration platform.
"With Data Integrator 6.5, Business Objects continues its commitment to provide
customers with the most innovative and complete business intelligence solution,"
said Darren Cunningham, Director of Product Marketing for Business Objects.
"Many of our enterprise customers house a large percentage of critical business
data in mainframe and legacy systems. One of Attunity's strengths is providing
seamless access to these systems, and with their real-time change data capture
capabilities we allow these customers to take full advantage of the data on
these systems and efficiently move to a real-time enterprise."
Attunity can also work with BusinessObjects 6.5 customers to:
o Expand the reach of business intelligence by providing pre-built native
connectivity adapters to virtually any data source on any platform. By
providing relational metadata for non-relational data sources like
those on the mainframe, all enterprise data can be seamlessly accessed
from a single data catalog.
o Achieve Enterprise Information Integration (EII) through the creation
of single enterprise views of information from multiple disparate data
silos in real-time. EII dramatically reduces the cost of data
integration and simplifies access for Business Objects enterprise
reporting users.
Joint customers are already using Attunity's solutions successfully with data
integration, enterprise reporting, and query and analysis solutions from
Business Objects. The two companies continue to collaborate to provide an even
tighter integration between the products to further enhance ease of use, and
lower total cost of ownership.
"Penske Logistics has built its business on great customer service, made
possible with reliable and timely information. With Business Objects and
Attunity operating in our diverse environment, we are able to perform critical
tracking, tracing, and posting of tasks that support our just-in-time services.
This gives us the capabilities for real-time quality control," said Peter Smith,
Senior VP, Penske Logistics.
"The market for real-time business intelligence solutions is growing rapidly and
Attunity is in a leadership position as we are the only vendor that can provide
Enterprise Information Integration and change capture across the entire spectrum
of enterprise data sources, "said Dan Potter, vice president of marketing and
business development at Attunity. "Our partnership with Business Objects
significantly expands Attunity's presence in the Business Intelligence market
and provides compelling solutions to enterprises seeking competitive advantage
from real-time information."
