Startup lowers the cost of data integration for its customers with new solutions partners

TDWI World Conference Summer 2008 San Diego, CA, & Burlington, MA — Aug 18, 2008 — Today, expressor software, the leader in semantic data integration, announced the launch of its global partner program aimed at systems integrators, value added resellers, technology partners, and independent software vendors. The program is a key part of expressor’s channel partner strategy to offer affordable, easy to use, high-performance data integration (DI) software through a growing network of trusted partners to Global 2000 companies.

about the expressor partner program

The expressor partner program is a two-tiered program designed to make it extremely easy and convenient for leading-edge DI partners to do business with expressor software. The entry tier of the program enables partners to evaluate the expressor product and prototype, test, develop, and demonstrate solutions based on expressor at no cost. The program also offers a second tier for partners who would like to enter into referral, reseller or embedded software distribution agreements with expressor software. All referral, value added reseller, and distribution license agreements have been designed for simplicity and offer high margins for resellers and ISVs.

"We are excited to join the expressor partner program," said Al Hughes, CEO of Axis Group. "As a leading Business Intelligence and Information Management consulting firm we continuously look for new technologies that enhance our solution offerings for data management, data warehousing and BI. expressor’s powerful semantic data integration capabilities, high performance and scalability, combined with an attractive pricing model make it compelling for us to be a charter member of this program."

expressor software and its partners lay the foundation for semantic data integration — a fundamental and new approach to solving the complexity of data integration. expressor is designed for ease-of-use and performance while providing the ability to deliver information quickly. Additionally, the system supports different styles of deployment — batch or real-time — and enables partners to deliver solutions that lower the cost of data integration while greatly improving the success rate of their DI projects. expressor software’s unique channel/usage-based pricing model gives partners enormous flexibility on how they bring their expressor-enabled solutions to market.

"The ability to strike a balance between storing massive amounts of data and leveraging that data to drive business decisions is a key priority for many enterprises," said Jim McManus, VP Channels & Alliance, Dataupia. "As our technology partner, expressor software provides a cost-effective, easy-to-use data integration solution that scales with rapidly growing data volumes. The simplicity expressor offers coupled with the access to data that Dataupia delivers will enable our joint customers to achieve the maximum business benefit from their data."
