PeopleSoft International Inc has gone to data warehousing and decision support company Informatica Corp for data mart technology it plans to distribute with its recently-launched Enterprise Performance Management application suite. PeopleSoft says it will distribute Palo Alto, California-based Informatica’s PowerMart technology for deploying and managing data marts and analytic applications.
EPM, released for commercial use back in January, includes data warehousing, multidimensional analysis, strategic cost management, key performance measures and industry-specific analytics. PeopleSoft has already gone to Information Advantage Inc for a similar OEM deal, and is using its MyEureka! relational online analytical processing engine as the suite’s exclusive ROLAP engine.
The integrated package will be available from PeopleSoft in the fourth quarter of this year, but in the meantime, Informatica is offering PeopleSoft customers a promotional price covering a full license for its software until the end of June.
