EVOKE SIGNS GLOBAL AGREEMENT WITH PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS

Evoke Software Corp. announced an agreement with PriceWaterhouseCoopers that will make Migration Architect available to clients worldwide. Migration Architect enables companies to better understand the content, structure, and quality of their corporate data prior to implementing data warehousing, e-business, CRM (Customer Relationship Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), EAI (Enterprise Application Integration), or data consolidation projects.

According to the agreement, PriceWaterhouseCoopers will act as both a reseller and managed service provider (MSP) of Migration Architect. As an MSP, PricewaterhouseCoopers can incorporate Migration Architect into its data migration methodology and use it on a project-by-project basis at client sites. In addition, data analysis and data migration professionals will use Migration Architect in PriceWaterhouseCoopers' regional solution center, known as "The Zone," in Philadelphia, PA.

Migration Architect will be available to PricewaterhouseCoopers' clients in all vertical markets, including data warehousing, data management, ERP and CRM implementations, and enterprise application integration projects. PricewaterhouseCoopers is currently using Migration Architect on a comprehensive CRM project at one of the worlds largest insurance companies, and soon will be using it on enterprise-wide data quality initiatives at two other large financial services organizations.

"It's almost impossible to complete a large-scale data migration or integration project accurately and on time without first understanding the source data, and it's nearly impossible to accomplish that without the help of specialized data profiling tools," said Bernie Plagman, a partner in PricewaterhouseCoopers' Global Data Warehousing practice. "Evoke's Migration Architect uses automated processes to reveal the underlying content, structure, and quality of the source data, enabling us to move or integrate it much more quickly and accurately. As such, it will enhance many of PricewaterhouseCoopers' data migration projects worldwide."
