CRM Consulting Firm Inforte Joins Business Objects Partner Program
By David Sims TMCnet Contributing Editor
Inforte, a Business Intelligence and CRM consulting firm, has announced that it has joined Business Objects' (News - Alert) provider partner program.
As a partner, Inforte has "demonstrated expertise with Business Objects technologies," according to Business Objects officials. Partners receive benefits including access to training and support.
"Inforte is pleased to be one of the first North American partners to be identified as an expert in both Business Objects and SAP (News - Alert) BI," said Paul Halley, Vice President of Business Intelligence at Inforte/B&D.
Inforte works in the integration of SAP and Business Objects field. "Our consultants work with product managers and technology experts within both software companies to create strategies and business cases for implementing hybrid BO/SAP" products, Inforte officials said.
The firm has recently released two white papers: "Business Intelligence in SAP Environments: Understanding the Value of Complementary BI Solutions" and "Designing Compelling Business Intelligence Business Cases for an SAP Software Landscape." Both can be downloaded at www.inforte.com/ideas/publications.
In December Sand Technology, a vendor of enterprise information management software, announced that it had entered into a partnership agreement with Inforte.
Together, the two companies will supply technology and professional services to help SAP NetWeaver BI customers implement Information Lifecycle Management and Nearline Storage products, Inforte officials said at the time.
Both companies focus on organizations that use SAP products, and by combining their resources they can "better assist these customers with technology and services designed to reduce TCO
, improve operational efficiencies and handle data growth-related challenges," the Sandmen say.
"We are pleased to be working with Sand and using their Sand/DNA product suite for SAP," said Paul Halley. "This product gives our customers the ability to keep more data at their fingertips."
Sand/DNA software for SAP NetWeaver BI is designed to complement the information lifecycle management capabilities available. These organizations face not just explosive data warehouse growth, but also the demand to support more users, greater query and data complexity and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
Sand/DNA "enables cost-effective retention of massive amounts of compressed data in a very small footprint -- typically about 10 percent of its original size -- and rapid retrieval of the information when needed," company officials explain.
