Brings Together Master Data Governance and Business Intelligence
Siperian User Group West, San Francisco (April 02, 2008) –
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR) – a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, and Siperian, Inc. – developers of an industry leading master data management (MDM) platform – today announced that they have signed an OEM agreement through which Siperian will resell MicroStrategy 8(TM) with Siperian MDM Hub as part of a new offering called “Insight Manager.”
Insight Manager enables organizations to effectively govern their data on an ongoing basis by actively reporting on the quality of master data and the performance of the master data hub through MicroStrategy’s Dynamic Enterprise Dashboards(TM). These dashboards offer new ways for Siperian users of all skill levels to derive valuable insight from their data – specifically, key performance metrics and data steward productivity. As a result, organizations can oversee their data assets through ongoing monitoring, assessment and management of data quality, reliability and other key measures.
“Data governance is a critical requirement for any master data management endeavor, but it can be as challenging as it is unique to each organization,” commented Claudia Imhoff, Ph.D., president and founder, Intelligent Solutions. “Siperian’s integration with MicroStrategy’s Dashboards is a significant step towards creating a solid data governance strategy and helping customers succeed in their MDM journey.”
“MicroStrategy’s Dashboards present a tremendous amount of information in an easy to use and highly visual manner, which helps companies quickly identify performance trends and drivers,” said Sanju Bansal, Chief Operating Officer, MicroStrategy. “We are delighted that Siperian selected MicroStrategy’s Dashboards to provide enhanced data visualization capabilities for its new Insight Manager offering.”
“Unlike other MDM solutions, Siperian provides out-of-the-box integration with a variety of complementary solutions which allows our customers to leverage their existing investments and infrastructure and achieve faster time-to-value,” said Ken Hoang, founder and CTO at Siperian. “Our Insight Manager — integrated with MicroStrategy — ensures that our customers can monitor, track, and report on the master data that is most critical to their business performance.”
At the Siperian User Group West in San Francisco on April 2, 2008, Siperian and MicroStrategy – a sponsor of the event – will jointly demonstrate Insight Manager and MicroStrategy Dashboards to Siperian customers.
