expressor software and BIReady Sign Technology Partnership to Jointly Deliver Flexible, Cost-Effective Data Warehouse Solution Based on Shared Business Metadata Foundation

Combination of expressor semantic data integration system and BIReady data warehouse generator automates the entire data warehousing process, from extracting sources to creating schema to transforming data and populating targets.

Burlington, MA and New York, NY – May 7, 2009 – expressor software, the leader in semantic data integration, and BIReady announced today that they have signed a technology partner agreement to deliver a flexible, business-metadata-driven, cost-effective data warehousing solution that dramatically cuts the cost of any business intelligence (BI) initiatives.

BIReady enables business intelligence (BI) for small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and Global 1000 organizations with a software product that automatically designs, generates and populates data warehouses and data marts based on an organizations’ unique business model.  expressor provides the backbone ETL infrastructure for BIReady’s data warehouse generator and helps simplify and automate the data warehouse design process by providing a shared business metadata foundation that shields ETL and data warehouse developers from having to hardcode their business rules into the transformation code, thereby making the entire data warehousing infrastructure less brittle and costly to design and maintain.

“By automating many of the data warehouse processes traditionally performed by specialized consultants, BIReady reduces the time and cost of BI projects by 50% and improves an organization’s agility and responsiveness,” said Gertjan Vlug, CEO of BIReady. “Paired with the smart, fast and highly affordable expressor semantic data integration system, we can now offer an end-to-end solution to all our customers that accelerates the entire data warehousing process, from quickly extracting source data to delivering the accurate and timely information required for BI systems to generate real business value.”

“BIReady and expressor software share a common mission to reduce the cost of business intelligence by delivering solutions that are easier to use, leverage valuable metadata to cut development time and offer breakthrough performance,” said Frank Fallon, VP sales and business development, expressor software.  “Together, expressor and BIReady provide an extremely fast, scalable and cost-effective data warehousing solution that is ready to use immediately.”
