ARLINGTON, Va., -- Appfluent Technology, provider of business intelligence infrastructure software, today announced it has signed 12 leading business intelligence solutions providers as charter members of its new partner program. 360 Business Intelligence; Compuexcel; Decision First Technologies; Data Management Group; Dunn Solutions Group; Enqueue: Infoscitex; InfoSol Inc.; Guident Technologies; Integra Solutions; WCI Consulting and Xenon Consulting are the inaugural charter members of the Appfluent Technology Solutions Partnership. "Solution provider response has been enthusiastic because they have an urgent need for our technology," said Frank Gelbart, president and CEO of Appfluent Technology. "Their customers are struggling to make business intelligence systems cope with the demand for transactional, informational and reporting functions, which all have a direct impact on company productivity." With Appfluent Technology's flagship product, the Appfluent Accelerator, solutions providers can give their customers a cost-effective, dedicated infrastructure for real-time reporting. The Accelerator intelligently offloads reporting traffic from production systems, enabling business users to get the freshest possible data for decision support while improving the performance of both the reporting and production applications. Bill Dunn, president of Dunn Solutions said, "Our customers are demanding access to operational data for real-time business intelligence. Until now, delivering this type of access was either expensive and complex, or caused significant performance degradation on the client's production systems. We believe that Appfluent offers an elegant way to meet end-user requirements for speed without placing a burden on IT budgets or staff." Accelerator is an intelligent, dedicated reporting server. Its patent- pending technology uses SQL analytics to collect and analyze data. It then automates data partitioning and workload distribution to improve performance. Members of the Appfluent Technology Solutions Partnership Program benefit from: * product discounts, promotional incentives and volume accelerators * lead sharing and joint account planning * joint technical sales calls and system engineering support * co-marketing programs * technical support and on-site training * sales and marketing resources * technical resources and evaluation kits "Our customers need immediate access to operational data to make informed business decisions. Until now, that meant expensive infrastructure and significant time and attention to deploy and manage," said Pia Thompson, managing principal at Xenon Consulting. "Appfluent has radically simplified the infrastructure for real-time business intelligence. We're excited to be working with Appfluent to help our customers get the full value from the business intelligence investments."
