Arbor was named winner in the Decision Support category in the June issue of Software Magazine, which is also devoted to the annual Software 500 ranking of the world`s largest software vendors.
The Software 500 issue highlights Arbor`s significant accomplishments during fiscal 1998 (ended March 31). These accomplishments include record sales and profits for the year, continued leadership and innovation in enterprise-class analytic applications through the delivery of Arbor Essbase OLAP Server 5, and the availability of IBM DB2 OLAP Server, which integrates the Arbor Essbase OLAP engine with IBM DB2.
The June issue features a column by Patrick Porter, editor-in-chief of Software Magazine, describing Arbor`s selection for the Editor`s Choice award. The column identifies Arbor as the "market-share leader" and also states that "Arbor is hands-down the best OLAP provider in the business when it comes to enterprise-class solutions".
