DST International (DSTi), a leading provider of business solutions for the investment management industry, today announced that DSTi`s Investment Data Solutions - based around DSTi`s Investment DataWarehouse, Integration Broker and Market Data Management tools - now supports Oracle as well as Sybase databases.
Steve Edkins, DSTi`s COO, said: "The market for relational databases has changed. The database is now treated as a commodity and the majority of our users expect the database of their choice.
"As we know, a high proportion of our clients and prospects have standardised on the Oracle system. In response to this demand, we have initiated a programme of development work to ensure that the DSTi solutions will also run under Oracle. This expands our options for Oracle clients while continuing our commitment to Sybase."
DSTi`s Investment Data Solutions have been the initial focus of the development work. The forthcoming release will be available for evaluation at selected client sites from August with a production release scheduled for the fourth quarter.
