SHOWBASE AND SAND ANNOUNCE JOINT MARKETING AND PRODUCT INTEGRATION
ALLIANCE
ShowBase Brings the Power of Nucleus to the Web
OTTAWA, Ontario and MONTREAL, Quebec, July 29 /CNW/ - ShowBase Inc. and Sand
Technology Systems International Inc. (Nasdaq: SNDCF) today announced a joint marketing
alliance including the powerful integration of ShowBase's Web publishing suite of products with
Sand's Nucleus Exploration product suite. Now available, the combined products give business
users an easy and effective way to get answers to the most crucial business questions regardless
of geographic location of the user.
ShowBase and Sand will participate in joint marketing programs targeted at corporations requiring
very fast strategic and tactical answers. Sand's revolutionary Nucleus Exploration product suite
paired with ShowBase's award-winning information publishing solutions combines the power of high
speed, ad hoc data analysis with the advantages of Web access across a network.
ShowBase's state-of-the-art approach to Web publishing made them an excellent candidate for
providing a quick and easy method of bringing Nucleus to the Web'', said Kevin Horigan, executive
vice president, Sand Technology. Many corporations want to expand Nucleus' use to the Web, and
with ShowBase's innovative product suite, decision makers can migrate just-in-time information
through the network without ever leaving the front-line; an essential asset to all organizations.''
Michel Desautels, president of ShowBase adds, the Nucleus Exploration product suite was the
missing link we were looking for as well. With the power to perform iterative, ad hoc, forensic
queries, Nucleus eliminates the need to migrate massive database applications to the Web. In an
increasingly competitive global marketplace, timely information that is relevant has become
imperative.''
Sand's Nucleus Exploration product suite, as well as the ShowBase Web publishing suite of
products are now available for use with any existing data warehouse/mart system and can be
purchased through Sand Technology's distribution channels, including Hitachi Data Systems and
Wyle Computer Products.
