Business Objects has scored
another notch on the mid-market bedpost in a deal with
datawarehouse company Netezza.
Business Objects' Crystal Decisions BI platform will be combined
with Netezza’s Performance Server datawarehouse to make one
integrated BI solution. The two firms hope that this will make it
easier and cheaper for mid-size companies to access enterprise BI
power for a fraction of the resources.
The system will be sold through resellers in one or three
terabyte configurations.
Todd Rowe, vice-president and general manager of worldwide
mid-market business at Business Objects commented that this will
allow mid-size companies to achieve greater market success from
their repositories of data.
“This is about helping companies achieve ten to one hundred
times the typical BI performance in a way that doesn’t put a strain
on their budget or their IT resources,” said Rowe.
The two firms are working closely to develop a solution for SAP
customers. Business Objects has already announced a similar deal
with IBM and more will follow.
