Noetix Collaborates with Business Objects to Introduce Two Solution Offerings Designed to Meet Oracle E-Business Suite Enterprise and Mid-Market Customer Requirements

REDMOND, Wash. -- Noetix([R]) Corp., a software provider that automatically generates business intelligence (BI) content from enterprise applications, today announced it has expanded its partnership with Business Objects, the world's leading provider of BI solutions, to better address the needs of Oracle E-Business Suite customers and their strategic BI initiatives. Noetix, in collaboration with Business Objects, will introduce two new solution offerings designed to facilitate the reporting requirements of both enterprise and mid-market Oracle E-Business Suite customers.

The Noetix Generator for Business Objects provides the enterprise customer with a comprehensive solution built on Noetix's award-winning technology, enabling improved data access and reducing the time required to implement reporting solutions across the organization. The Noetix for Oracle E-Business Suite QuickStart provides mid-market companies with a solution that allows them to immediately begin accessing operational data stored within their Oracle E-Business Suite applications. These innovative product offerings originate from Noetix's foundation in helping more than 1,300 Oracle E-Business Suite customers simplify access to their operational data.

"The drive to continually improve Oracle enterprise applications reporting for our customers has led Noetix to pioneer technology advances which are unsurpassed in the market," said Morris Beton, CEO at Noetix. "With the introduction of these solutions, Noetix further expands its role in the BI market ecosystem by enabling organizations to rapidly deploy and maintain Business Objects solutions within an Oracle enterprise application environment."

Noetix Generator for Business Objects Enterprise Solution

The Noetix Generator for Business Objects enterprise solution combines Noetix's flagship product, NoetixViews, with Noetix Generator for Business Objects. This solution significantly reduces the manual effort in implementing BI applications for Oracle E-Business Suite customers by fully automating the integration of NoetixViews within the Business Objects metadata layer, saving the time and cost of manually creating Business Objects universes. In addition, Noetix shields universes and custom reports from changes in the underlying database commonly introduced by application upgrades. The result is a dramatic cost savings over time compared to custom developed solutions.

QuickStart Packs for Business Objects Edge Series are Business Objects-certified solutions that help small and mid-size companies quickly apply BI to an existing line of business applications or specific industry needs to gain enhanced return on their BI investments. Noetix for Oracle E-Business Suite QuickStart is a joint offering with Business Objects and includes NoetixViews for Oracle E-Business Suite, Noetix Generator for Business Objects, and Business Objects Edge Series bundled with a fixed four-week implementation package.

"By improving access to information within Oracle E-Business Suite applications, Noetix for Oracle E-Business Suite QuickStart will provide Business Objects end users with the ability to conduct instantaneous query and report development, enabling them to gain immediate insight about their business operations," said Todd Rowe, vice president and general manager of worldwide mid-market business at Business Objects. "We are committed to providing our customers with powerful and effective BI solutions, regardless of their application environment. Our partnership with Noetix will further benefit mid-size Business Objects customers by helping to speed up their time to deployment and reduce the total cost of ownership of their BI solution."

Noetix Generator for Business Objects and Noetix for Oracle E-Business Suite QuickStart are expected to be generally available in December 2007. Visit www.noetix.com or www.businessobjects.com/grow for more information.
