Johannesburg, 19 Nov 1998
Red Brick has announced a strategic partnership with Perot Systems of Dallas, the IT services and business solutions company. The partnership makes Red Brick DecisionScape products available to Perot clients who need high-end data warehousing solutions.

Perot Systems is a new services partner in the Red Brick Solutions Partner Programme, designed to support active service and application solutions partners dedicated to fostering decision support solutions for small to large businesses.

Red Brick DecisionScape includes integrated products, services, methodology and partnerships designed specifically for data warehousing and decision support projects. Red Brick`s data warehousing record provides a base on which to build successful business analytic solutions. Red Brick`s offerings complement Perot Systems` decision support client engagements where the focus is on the delivery of analytic solutions designed to drive the client`s business forward.

The partnership also makes Red Brick products available for sale through Perot`s consulting organisation.

Red Brick, Perot team at Premier

As an example of their collaboration, Red Brick and Perot have participated in business solutions at Premier, the largest healthcare alliance enterprise in the US. Perot Systems recently initiated an outsourcing agreement with Premier Practice Management (PPM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier, Inc, to provide technical services in support of its national physician management line of business. As PPM`s technology partner, Perot provides a range of business applications including +MEDIC Vision.

Premier was recognised recently by The Data Warehousing Institute for Market Vantage, its healthcare application that enables hospitals and healthcare systems to access detailed healthcare data to help them reduce costs, develop integrated delivery systems, manage technology and share knowledge. Market Vantage gives Premier`s members the ability to analyse large volumes of comparative medical data stored in Red Brick Warehouse. Using Market Vantage, Premier and its members can recognise how they perform both financially and medically as compared to other hospitals nationwide.

"Red Brick and Perot Systems are considered strategic to our business operations and competitive advantage," says Scott Morris, director of Marketing and Business Development at Premier. "We believe the two companies offer synergistic strengths in product and expertise which could be significantly advantageous to organisations seeking high-value data warehousing solutions."

Red Brick is represented in South Africa by Software Futures, a subsidiary of Computer Configurations Holdings.
