Seagate Software, a leader in business intelligence with more than 5 million seats shipped, and Baan partner TopTier Software, today unveiled an innovative reporting solution that will leverage TopTier`s HyperRelational technology and Seagate Software`s leading query and reporting technology. This collaboration will provide Baan Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) users worldwide with enhanced navigational, reporting and analysis capabilities.
TopTier Software, in a co-development effort with Baan, uses its HyperRelational technology to access the Baan data application layer. HyperRelational technology simplifies the interaction and integration of multiple applications and data sources by building navigation and correlation over disparate data sources.
"Seagate Software is continually striving to add value for users of Baan and other ERP systems," said Tony Wind, vice president of product management for Seagate Software. "This strategic partnership will allow both companies to leverage mutual resources to deliver an attractive reporting solution for Baan application customers."
This initiative furthers Seagate Software`s goal to accelerate the adoption rate of business intelligence into the corporate mainstream, by providing an open architecture for ERP and other enterprise software vendors. ERP solutions are a critical element to many corporate operations, providing a valuable source of information that can be further enhanced through reporting and analysis.
"Providing best-of-breed products with best-of-breed integration has been the wish of all large enterprises," said Paul Steinberg, vice president of channels & business development, TopTier Software. "For the first time, TopTier`s HyperRelational technology is enabling vendors and consumers to truly achieve this goal. Baan customers will benefit from the de facto standard reporting functionality of Seagate Software, while using the skills they`ve already developed with Baan products based on TopTier Software`s breakthrough HyperRelational technology."
