The recent announcement between Sagent Technology and Siebel Systems has strengthened Sagent`s position in the analytic applications market.
This announcement was parallled by one of partnerships with Pharmaceutical Care Network (PCN), Experian, and Harmony Software. These relationships, added to recent partnerships with Automatic Data Processing (ADP) and Advent Software, mark a growing trend toward Sagent being chosen by vendors to power their enterprise packaged analytic applications.
IDC predicts the analytic applications market could top $2,6bn by 2001. Analytic applications such as Siebel Marketing Enterprise, Advent Warehouse, ADP`s CSS Horizon, PCN`s MedIntelligence, Harmony Software`s Business Performance Management, and Experian`s Intelligen, provide business intelligence solutions tailored to meet the needs of specific business functions, or vertical markets.
"Analytic applications by nature pose very specific business questions, and require fast, direct access to information to provide the right answers to their users," says Ken Gardner, president and CEO of Sagent. "Leading vendors are choosing Sagent because it is finely tuned and designed for this task."
The Sagent Data Mart Solution delivers a package of integrated data movement and Web-based data access capabilities to analytic applications. It solution provides an infrastructure that lets users harness information coming from a variety of data sources, and then conduct ad hoc query and broad-scale reporting.
