Sand Technology Markets Guaranteed SAP R/3 BI Results

Sand Technology Systems International Inc., has announced that it is partnering with Acta Technology, Inc. to provide guaranteed and cost-effective BI results for users of SAP R/3.

Acta is a provider of data warehousing solutions for both internal decision support and business-to-business e-commerce. SAP R/3 is the widely implemented ERP (enterprise resource planning) system from SAP. Both Sand and Acta will be featuring the Nucleus RapidMarts as preferred solutions for the increasing numbers of customers seeking effective ways to handle BI applications with SAP.

Using Sand Technology's Nucleus Exploration, Acta's RapidMarts, a suite of packaged data marts for analysis in specific business areas, can be implemented without ABAP programmers and without the extensive expertise and hardware typically required for SAP BI implementations. Using Nucleus, RapidMarts also allow for the full integration of decision support applications involving both SAP and non-SAP data.

"Until now, providing timely, high performance decision support for SAP installations was an expensive, time-consuming, and often disappointing experience," said Duncan Painter, General Manager of Sand Technology's European operations. "By combining Nucleus and RapidMarts, we are now able to offer guaranteed implementation time frames and costs for BI solutions to SAP customers, with levels of performance and flexibility unheard-of in other approaches."
