Brio Technology and Hewlett Packard Deliver a Powerful Open Warehouse Solution; BrioQuery Enterprise and Hewlett Packard's Intelligent Warehouse Provide Best of Breed Decision Support
Business Wire, Sept 23, 1996
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 23, 1996--Brio Technology, the leader in desktop decision support solutions for the data warehouse, today announced the industry's first seamless integration with Hewlett Packard's (HP) Intelligent Warehouse (IW). BrioQuery Enterprise and HPIW give users convenient, direct access to data warehouse information as well as the ability to perform complex analysis and persuasive reporting. HPIW users on any desktop platform, including HP-UX, can take advantage of BrioQuery's powerful desktop query, analysis and reporting features.
BrioQuery Enterprise fully supports HPIW's middleware interface (IWOBDC), enabling a simple setup and connection process. Through Brio's Open Metadata Interpreter, existing IW metadata is easily read and used with a live link allowing the warehouse administrator advanced functionality and the ability to further utilize IW auditing data.
"BrioQuery Enterprise and HPIW's integration empowers IT organizations to better understand their users and proactively tune the data warehouse to provide a safe and accessible decision support environment while leveraging corporate investments in hardware and metadata," said Katherine Glassey, executive vice president of products and marketing for Brio Technology. "BrioQuery Enterprise eliminates many intermediate steps necessary with other query tools, while providing end users with fast and full comprehension of data."
The flexibility of the Hewlett Packard Brio Technology solution provides users with the ability to leverage existing data by creating "virtual" warehouses. HP's Intelligent Warehouse hub can manage data located on disparate servers and present this information in an integrated virtual table. BrioQuery Enterprise accesses this "virtual data warehouse," giving users the benefit of access to the data located on disparate servers with one simple query.
BrioQuery Enterprise supports and extends features which make HPIW a unique administrative solution for data warehouses including: Summary Level Seeking; Administration/Auditing; Uniform Environment; Security; Query Blocking/Governors; Partition Management/Drill Across; and Information Catalog. Additionally, BrioQuery Enterprise is available on all desktop platforms: in 32-bit native Windows95 and Windows NT, Windows 3.X, Power Mac, MacOS and UNIX Motif.
"Brio takes integration seriously. They have been exceedingly proactive in optimizing BrioQuery Enterprise to take full advantage of HP's Intelligent Warehouse (IW)," said Guy Randazzo, research and development project manager for the HP Intelligent Warehouse. "HP's certification of BrioQuery Enterprise and IW integration ensures that our customers have well-tested, robust DSS technology and fast and easy access to the answers they need."
One industry group is already taking advantage of the strength of the BrioQuery and HPIW solution. Increasing competition and cost pressures are forcing telecommunication firms to adopt a customer-centric business approach. Key business decision makers at companies such as Saskatel in Canada and Mercury Communications in the United Kingdom, rely on BrioQuery's speed and ease of use to collect, analyze, summarize, and present accurate information. BrioQuery is commonly used by these companies to retrieve information which allows them to respond to changes in market conditions, to understand how market share can be protected and increased, and to understand the changing needs of customers.
