ATLANTA, GA, April 13, 2007 -- Stratature, the leading global provider of master data management software, today announced the general availability of +EDM Version 4.0. This latest release of Stratature’s highly successful +EDM platform for dimension, hierarchy and master data management marks a major advancement in the industry.

Already leading the master data management (MDM) software market in terms of platform flexibility, ease-of-use and scalability, Stratature introduces the industry’s most comprehensive MDM security model, bolsters support for Product Information Management applications, and delivers even further gains in performance and scalability.

Customers are already embracing +EDM’s security and performance enhancements for operational and analytical MDM to support data governance and data quality initiatives across ERP, GL, CRM, data warehouse, business intelligence and financial applications.

Val Lovicz, VP of Research and Development for Stratature, comments on the highly touted security model, “Although simple in concept, the practicalities of allowing security assignments to any combination of dimension members, across any number of hierarchies, with unlimited master data supported by unlimited business rules, are a challenge. However, our customers were envisioning complex security scenarios to address real business challenges associated with the collaborative management of multiple hierarchies and master data. This drove us to research many new algorithms and approaches before creating the perfect hybrid of security methods suited to MDM.”

Another customer-driven capability, file object management, was developed in conjunction with several world class customers tackling enterprise-scale Product Information Management initiatives. Ideal for CPG and pharmaceutical companies storing product images, documents and presentations, this functionality is proving equally useful outside of the product dimension — such as in the location dimension for storing maps of a store location, or the employee dimension for storing pictures of employees — anywhere that external documents and images can benefit from being treated as master data.

“+EDM continues to deliver on Stratature’s mission to offer the industry leading master data management solution in terms of functional capability, enterprise scalability and customer satisfaction,” said Ian Ahern, CEO for Stratature. “Version 4.0 raises the bar for collaborative master data management on an enterprise scale. We are already seeing a new generation of MDM applications emerge that are focused on the need for a high level of security around the employee dimension. It is exciting to be in the company of such enthusiastic and innovative customers; we will continue to value their input as we chart the course for future product releases.”
