PR Newswire - September 08, 1999 17:43
Partnership Enterprise Access to Business Intelligence
Plumtree First Corporate Portal Vendor to Integrate Internet Services, Document Directory, Business Intelligence Reports
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate portal market-leader Plumtree Software today released a new set of Plumtree Portal Gadgets(TM) for embedding business intelligence services from MicroStrategy Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a worldwide leader in e-business intelligence software. Plumtree Corporate Portal users can now rely on MicroStrategy's intelligence platform to provide high-performance, scalable access to massive data warehouses and database systems.
A corporate portal is a simple, personalized Web portal like Yahoo!, but to information from the Internet as well as a wide variety of corporate systems, including document servers, business intelligence systems, Groupware databases, and enterprise resource planning systems. Plumtree Portal Gadgets(TM) are extensions to the Plumtree Corporate Portal's modular architecture, which enable the system to embed new applications and Internet services where Yahoo! users would normally see a sports scoreboard or stock portfolio. Gadgets provide layout, security, and caching services for applications embedded in the portal, ensuring enterprise scalability and performance. The new MicroStrategy components can be downloaded from Plumtree's Gadget Factory, available at gadgets.plumtree.com .
"Integrating MicroStrategy's highly-scalable intelligence capabilities into the Plumtree Corporate Portal allows users to easily access MicroStrategy's business intelligence platform," said Sanju Bansal, chief operating officer at MicroStrategy Incorporated. "Through this partnership, the Plumtree corporate portal becomes even more valuable as a means to access all business-critical applications with click-of-a-button ease. Plumtree has taken a best-of-breed approach for bringing business intelligence to the corporate portal, an approach that will pay off for Plumtree clients."
"MicroStrategy is the perfect partner for us," said Plumtree CEO John Kunze. "At Plumtree, we pride ourselves in being forward-looking about the future of e-business. No company has been more visionary than MicroStrategy about bringing business intelligence to the dot.com enterprise, and no company offers a more sophisticated business intelligence engine."
