Brio Technology has announced that IBM will bundle Brio`s family of enterprise business intelligence products with IBM`s Visual Warehouse family as part of its Business Intelligence Partnership Initiative.
"At Brio, we are committed to delivering business intelligence tools and analytic applications for our customers through a partnering strategy," says Chris Grejtak, executive VP of marketing for Brio. "This new partnership with IBM is a natural for Brio. Not only is IBM an important customer, but we share IBM`s commitment to providing truly integrated solutions - including vertical applications - that enable rapid implementation of enterprise business intelligence and faster ROI."
"Combining the strengths of Brio Enterprise with IBM`s Visual Warehouse helps ensure customers have access to complete business solutions," says Janet Perna, GM data management, IBM Software Solutions. "This partnership will help meet customers` requirements for swift implementation and transparent integration of high-performance business intelligence solutions."
Brio is represented in South Africa by Abraxas Software.
IBM`s Visual Warehouse family of software packages, powered by DB2 Universal Database, is designed to help companies build, manage and analyse data warehouses and data marts. The addition of Brio Enterprise to the IBM Visual Warehouse family offers organisations all of the software components necessary to develop and deliver fully integrated business intelligence solutions which are 100% interoperable between client/server and Web environments.
In addition to products for both client/server and Web environments, the Brio-IBM bundle will include Brio`s computer-based training package, which provides end-users with the skills necessary to become productive immediately. The bundle will be available worldwide.
Already an IBM Business Intelligence partner, Brio will also be undertaking extensive marketing and sales initiatives in collaboration with IBM.
