Actian and Business & Decision Join Forces to Provide Big Data Analytics and Mobile BI

Big Data Specialists Actian and Business & Decision Solidify Strategic Partnership

Actian Corporation and Business & Decision, an international Consulting and Systems Integration (CSI) company, leader in Business Intelligence (BI), today announced the signature of their strategic partner agreement. Combined with covering technology solutions and marketing efforts, the strategic agreement bolsters both companies' commitment to provide customers with more intuitive and affordable high performance analytics. Customers will also benefit from the power of Actian's Action Apps, which are lightweight, consumer-style applications that automate business actions triggered by real-time changes in data.
As a part of the new agreement, the two companies will enable customers to reap the benefits of instantaneous business insight using Vectorwise, the industry's record-breaking analytic database engine. For many firms, the data analytics solutions available today are either price-prohibitive or do not satisfy users' need for performance and agility. Therefore, there is an underserved majority of enterprises who will benefit by deploying Vectorwise, where they can divert investment from expensive back-end IT infrastructures to front-line business users, and empower them to glean accurate business intelligence at the speed of thought.

Business Intelligence has evolved from basic reports and dashboards to Actionable BI using mobile tools that give business managers the power to react swiftly to fast moving events, dramatically changing the way companies do business. As a result, in addition to Vectorwise, Actian and Business & Decision will offer customers fast insight on their mobile devices using Actian's Action Apps. Customers will be able to run intuitive reports and dashboards on their mobile devices and act instantaneously to address the changing needs of any situation. Action Apps is cutting-edge technology that makes it possible to understand individual users' data and provide an appropriate response quickly and reliably.

"Our customers are facing new challenges - they need to manage big volumes of data from multiple sources and then deliver relevant information to the right person, at the right place and at the right moment. By providing powerful analytics and interactive reporting of big data volumes at a lower cost, Vectorwise delivers unprecedented insight to medium and larger organizations across various industries at a very competitive price," explains Jean-Michel Franco, Business Solution Director at Business & Decision. "Actian has been a partner of Business & Decision for many years and we're delighted to be able to build further upon our relationship."

"Since we launched Vectorwise in France in 2011, the solution has gained significant traction in the analytics space. Business & Decision has expressed an interest in offering Vectorwise, and we are now ready to launch our joint proposition into the market," commented Christian Raza, Sales Director France for Actian. "Actian also intends to recruit new channel partners to allow all organizations to benefit from the great potential of Vectorwise for their Business Intelligence and analytical projects. Our new partners will be BI experts that ensure customers get the best value for the money from their investment in Actian solutions."
