DecisionPoint Applications Expands Canadian Operations

DecisionPoint Applications Inc, a leading international packaged data warehouse and analytical applications vendor, announced the opening of two new offices in Toronto and Montreal, Canada. This strategic expansion is a critical step towards achieving DPA's goal of becoming the preferred provider of data warehousing and analytical applications in the Canadian marketplace by the year 2001. DPA will tap into partnerships with world-class system integrators to develop a strong presence in this new marketplace.

"Our move into Canada will solidify our presence in this market as the data warehouse and analytical application space continues to explode," said Marc Demarest, DPA's CEO. "In Canada, as in the US and Europe, DPA will continue to provide solutions for companies that are interested in accessing timely and accurate data from their ERP systems and deploying that information to enhance their revenue, manage risk, control operational procedures and contain costs. These are global, corporate requirements and our continuing expansion reflects this."

"The Canadian market promises to generate a tremendous number of early adopters of data warehousing and analytical applications technology," said Russ Davis, DPA's vice president of sales. "Opening a headquarters in Toronto will allow us to establish a formidable presence in Canada, which we consider to be an important step in DPA's ongoing growth and development plans."
