Rockville, MD, March 11, 2008 -– Appfluent Technology, Inc. today announced that TELUS has successfully deployed the Appfluent Product Suite to improve its BI and Data Warehouse performance and increase the agility and effectiveness of its IT staff.

“We are entering into the era of pervasive BI, where low latency, in-process ‘actionable’ information is required to support critical tactical and strategic business decisions. Appfluent gives our Business Intelligence Competency Centre (BICC) holistic and non-invasive insight into corporate data usage, infrastructure utilization and query performance,” said Simon Gratton, Director, Business Transformation at TELUS. “With ever-increasing quantities of data requiring consolidation, aggregation and transformation, and changing business needs from the resulting data warehouse information, ongoing proactive usage analytics after solution deployment are crucial to both reducing the total cost of ownership and ensuring ongoing customer satisfaction with the performance and content of the enterprise BI solution.”

TELUS required the ability to accurately diagnose and remedy performance problems before they happen, provide visibility to data usage and system utilization to efficiently scale its BI and Data Warehouse environment, and reduce the complexity of its database and application systems while increasing the collaboration of their BI/ Data Warehouse teams. Appfluent answered the TELUS call by providing non-disruptive, comprehensive monitoring and analysis of the TELUS BI/ Data Warehouse environment. Because Appfluent’s award-winning product suite delivers analysis via the Cognos 8 Business Intelligence platform, every member of the BI and Data Warehousing team is able to easily leverage Appfluent’s usage and performance analysis.

Today, the Appfluent product suite is deployed to monitor large-scale data warehouses on both IBM DB2 and Oracle data warehouse platforms.

“Appfluent not only provided us a solution that supports our heterogeneous database environment but uniquely offered an analytical application designed for our IT team via the Cognos 8 BI Platform,” added Mr.Gratton. “For the first time, we are able to directly link performance problems with specific end-user reports and queries.”

IBM (NYSE: IBM ) recently announced the DB2 Warehouse Performance Management suite teaming with Appfluent Technology to deliver the most comprehensive data warehouse lifecycle management solution that combines the Performance Optimization feature already available in DB2 Warehouse with the new Performance Monitoring feature that takes advantage of Appfluent’s monitoring and workload analysis software.
