Business intelligence projects are being pushed higher up on a CIO’s priority list due to the increased desire to optimize business operations, particularly in areas such as pricing or profitability analysis, in addition to enabling cross-selling, up-selling, and other customer focused marketing initiatives. In order to meet these requirements across many industry sectors, organizations are looking for ways to deploy data warehouses and BI systems faster and more cost effectively.

GoldenGate and Greenplum now provide a best-of-breed solution to address that market need.

“GoldenGate’s real-time data integration solution allows Greenplum customers to achieve low cost, high performance business intelligence systems,” said Tim Rathbun, executive vice president, GoldenGate Software.  “GoldenGate continues to support the widest range of database, hardware and operating systems environments today that are reflective of the large enterprise customers we support.  The Greenplum Database is now an additional environment that GoldenGate supports and we look forward to increased demand in the marketplace and helping customers achieve improved business intelligence.”
