BIReady releases Version 4 and continues global marketing of standardized data warehouse automation software

2009-06-15 16:12:15 - It is our privilege to notify you of the global launch of BIReady Version4, the acknowledged standardized data warehouse automation software.
Applauded by domain experts, supported by (technology) partners, and sustained by our clients, BIReady will now be introduced to the broadest possible range of business and institutional users.

New York, June 15, 2009

BIReady is executing the next phase of the global roll-out of its standardized data warehouse automation solution. The mass market introduction of this business intelligence automation software is triggered by the successful implementations of the BIReady product. Following a two year evaluation period starting in 2005, the tried and tested application has been installed at the

heart of the business intelligence applications of a number of customers; organizations in various industries – including health care, insurance, government and durable consumer goods – acknowledge the benefits flagged by domain experts and industry analysts.

BIReady co-founder Gertjan Vlug, responsible for global marketing and business development says: “With a proven technology in place, fully supported by a solid network of technology, distribution and implementation partners, we are now ready to take BIReady to the next level. We will continue to focus on assisting our clients in meeting (and whenever possible exceeding) their business improvement objectives. At the same time, we will intensify our marketing of the BIReady standardized data warehouse generation solution. The awarded reviews and publications as a result of continuous assessments by a diversity of analysts like Gartner, Aberdeen Group, Forrester Research, Bloor Research, Ventana research, Butler Group, Bill Inmon and others, helps us to bring standardized data warehouse automation to the next level.”

“The fact that data warehouse generation can now be automated by means of a standardized application is by no means common knowledge.” notes Harm van der Lek, product architect and co-founder of BIReady. “The enthusiasm for the BIReady product in specialist circles bodes well for the market acceptance in general. The challenge we are facing now is convincing professional users of the benefits of eradicating more manual labor from the business intelligence efforts. As with any paradigm shift, giving up old ways of working requires an open mind and willingness to invest. Doing the math will certainly give leverage (cutting data warehousing costs by 50% and halving the implementation time presents a convincing business case), but only real-world business experiences provide genuine comfort.”

New in BIReady Version 4 (highlights):
* Support of Netezza
* Support of Teradata (including the Logical Data Models)
* Virtual data marts
* Data warehouse health check
* User Interface and Workflow improvements
* Performance optimization
