PeopleSoft Certifies Firstlogic Data Quality Solutions
PeopleSoft and Firstlogic Offer First Integrated Data Quality Products for Data Warehousing
PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 2002--PeopleSoft Inc. (Nasdaq:PSFT - News) today announced it has certified the integration between Firstlogic's information quality solutions and PeopleSoft's Enterprise Warehouse. By standardizing and automating the data cleansing process, the combined solution will enable PeopleSoft Enterprise Warehouse customers to improve the consistency and accuracy of enterprise data for more effective decision-making.
"Through 2005, more than 50 percent of data warehouse efforts that integrate data from multiple systems will fail as a result of lack of attention to data quality issues," according to Ted Friedman, senior research analyst at Gartner. "Poor quality of data is a primary reason that most large enterprises do not get the return on investment they are seeking from their business intelligence strategies."
PeopleSoft's industry-leading Enterprise Warehouse solution combined with Firstlogic's IQ Insight(TM) and Information Quality Link provides joint customers with a complete and standardized view of their enterprise data. The integrated products enable data warehouse administrators to monitor information quality, continually measure and track results, and decrease cost and time spent correcting data-related problems. By automating the data cleansing function, organizations can continuously improve the consistency and accuracy of their data.
"PeopleSoft understands that the true potential of real-time enterprise analytics lies in the quality of a company's business information," said Eric Lieberman, president of Firstlogic. "The combination of PeopleSoft's Enterprise Warehouse and Firstlogic's data quality tools uniquely positions us to deliver a breakthrough solution to our joint customers."
"PeopleSoft is the first enterprise software vendor to address the industry's need for improved data quality for analytics," said Peter Gassner, vice president and general manager of PeopleSoft's Technology division. "PeopleSoft and Firstlogic have raised the bar by offering a new level of data accuracy to our customers, enabling them to make more informed and strategic business decisions."
