DataFlux, a leading provider of data quality integration services and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SAS Institute, and Conversion Services International, a premier professional services firm focused on business intelligence and data warehousing solutions, today announced a partnership targeting joint opportunities in the data quality software and services market.
This partnership will allow CSI clients to utilise the DataFlux Data Quality Integration Solution to enhance and standardise the data that serves as the foundation for business intelligence efforts.
CSI focuses on strategic consulting, data warehousing, business intelligence and business process re-engineering, as well as integration and information technology management solutions for Global 2000 organisations and other businesses.
CSI will set up a DataFlux Centre of Excellence and will help clients benefit from the DataFlux Data Quality Integration Solution, enabling them to analyse, improve and control their data through a single, integrated platform.
"We recognise the tremendous value that DataFlux technology provides in enhancing the quality and integrity of corporate information and unifying that data across the enterprise," said Mark Albala, director of solution services at CSI. "We look forward to extending our client offerings to those businesses that are looking to make improvements to the underlying data that serves as the basis for corporate decisions."
DataFlux enables organisations to enhance the effectiveness of data-driven initiatives, including business intelligence, customer data integration (CDI), product information management (PIM), data warehousing and compliance. DataFlux technology uses a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to provide a standards-based data quality framework that reduces implementation time and allows organisations to easily develop, refine and reuse business rules for data quality.
"Having CSI as a new partner provides a new, valuable service for our customers, given the large-scale master data management services and expertise that CSI provides," said Mike McQuaid, director of business development and solution engineering at DataFlux.
"CSI offers excellent data quality and data warehousing consulting services, and their expertise will be a valuable asset to our sales force and our professional services group as we jointly pursue opportunities. We are pleased that CSI has committed to training their consultants on the DataFlux solution and to establishing a DataFlux Centre of Excellence."
