THE BANK OF NAGOYA LTD SELECTS SAGENT SOLUTION

Sagent Technology Inc, a leading provider of Real-time eBusiness Intelligence solutions, announced the deployment of a comprehensive business intelligence solution for sales analysis by The Bank of Nagoya Ltd, a leading Japanese retail bank.

The Bank of Nagoya uses the Sagent Solution powered with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 to deliver key sales information to the sales planning departments.

Sagent's timely information delivery and flexible analysis capabilities are essential for The Bank of Nagoya's comprehensive sales analysis. With Sagent, The Bank of Nagoya has significantly reduced the delivery timeframe for preparing and distributing new reports and analyses that enable the company to respond more quickly to changing market conditions.

In addition, the Sagent Solution offers a single product line that replaces multiple point tools for data movement, analysis and reporting. The Sagent Solution allows The Bank of Nagoya to manage the data mart through an integrated, end-to-end solution without a time-intensive, costly, in-house implementation.

One of Sagent's key objectives is allowing organizations to take maximum advantage of the ease-of-use and price/performance benefits of the Microsoft platforms when deploying data marts. Sagent has worked closely with Microsoft to seamlessly integrate the Sagent Solution to take advantage of and add value to the capabilities of SQL Server 7.0. Sagent's support of SQL Server 7.0 enables Sagent's front-end capabilities to leverage the enhanced scalability of SQL Server 7.0 for end-user queries.

Sagent delivers an open, scalable solution that addresses the complete life cycle for eBusiness Intelligence, including development, production and ongoing management of a company's information assets. The Sagent Solution allows businesses to collect and analyze customer and operational data from existing systems and to incorporate the most current geographic, business-to- business and demographic information from third-party content providers in real time. This information is then made available over the Web via a secure connection to create precise one-to-one marketing campaigns, identify profitable sales opportunities, and improve operational efficiencies.
