Sand Technology to Ship 60,000 Copies of Nucleus - Sand, Compaq, Acxiom, Brio,
Wyle Electronics and HDS Align for Nucleus Program
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--Sand Technology Systems International Inc. (Nasdaq:
SNDCF) announced today that Sand has implemented a program in cooperation with
DM Review Magazine to include one copy of the award winning Nucleus Exploration
Mart software solution with each copy of DM Review for the upcoming January issue.
The Nucleus license comes with a ninety-day license key so individual users and
organizations may witness the advantages of Nucleus within their environment,
regardless of their domain, business user or technologist. The Nucleus license is
restricted under Win/95 to a single user and 1 GB data and under Win/NT to 25
users and 25 GB of data using a single instruction processor.
The DM Review business users will see that Nucleus eliminates the exponential
time delays and inherent complexities associated with programs like: customer
relationship management, risk analysis/management, target marketing, customer
behavioral, inventory, competitive analysis, marketing campaigns and logistics
efforts.
Technologists, specifically data base administrators, will see that Nucleus provides
a sound prototyping environment for the iterative development that must take place
between technologists and end users for cleansing data, testing business logic,
auditioning business queries and visualizing the results within mart. Nucleus
provides an effective and efficient platform for delivering a useful data mart to the
business enterprise.
"Our customers have several things in common. They are severely constrained
because all technical resources are committed to Y2K and ERP issues. They are
continually restricted in the types of questions they can ask. They are judged on
results and they're running out of time," stated Kevin Horigan, executive vice
president, Sand. "With this unique proof statement to the readership of DM Review,
they will witness our exceptional results; no specialized technical resources needed
to implement Nucleus. Use Nucleus and get answers to any question, any time,
regardless of complexity.
And, negate the need for resource intensive, time consuming 'cube' building and
database re-indexing exercises."
For the convenience of the DM Review readership and in order to make the use of
Nucleus easy, effective and successful, Sand has compiled a world class team of
partners to participate and lend their expertise to this program. Compaq Computer
Corporation, Brio Technology, Acxiom Corporation, Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) and
Wyle Electronics are all partnered with Sand in this program. Brio's world class
front-end tool has been included on the Nucleus CD for those people who either do
not have a front-end tool or for users who wish to see the enhanced integration of the
Brio and Nucleus solutions. For users who wish to view data other than their own
internal data Acxiom has included demonstration data on the CD and specific
information on accessing the Acxiom Data Network (A.D.N.). Compaq provides the
recommended server, workstation and desktop computing platforms for Nucleus 95,
Nucleus NT and 64-bit Digital Unix. Compaq also delivers data mart and business
intelligence expertise through the Compaq North America Professional Services
Group. Sand's OEM partner, Hitachi Data Systems and Master Reseller, Wyle
Electronics stand ready to provide support for customer presentations, product
demonstrations, technical support, pricing configurations and procurement services.
