WhereScape data warehouse solution leveraged by Ross Systems to deliver industry-specific analytics applications

Ross Customers Deploy Complete, Integrated Analytics Applications in Two Weeks

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 12, 2005 -- Ross Systems, a leading provider of enterprise business systems for process manufacturers, is using WhereScape RED to build and deliver out-of-the-box dashboard applications, including pre-defined key performance indicators (KPIs), that are pre-integrated with the company's iRenaissance enterprise business systems. The applications leverage data warehouses and add and merge data into a single dimensional data warehouse or data mart without requiring proprietary languages and platforms.

Scot McLeod, VP of Marketing for Ross Systems says mid-market customers tend to be pragmatic when buying technology, preferring to buy complete solutions that have a tight fit to the business in preference to tools requiring customization and integration.

"Customers are not interested in having to customize or tailor to get the dashboards and reports they need," he says.

"Using WhereScape RED, we're building and delivering complete applications that provide the key performance indicators that are critical in each of our target industries. Because we're able to build highly targeted, pre-integrated applications, we're consistently deploying these for customers in two weeks or less."

WhereScape CEO Michael Whitehead says WhereScape is finding a global niche in enabling enterprise software providers such as Ross Systems to deliver complete, turnkey analytics applications.

"Other tools may be perfectly adequate engines, but we enable providers to speedily deliver the whole car, ready to drive," he says.

WhereScape RED is based around a proven method for designing, building and populating data warehouses. The development framework and auto-generated documentation means that consultants and customers can easily pick up the processing and structure of the data mart for troubleshooting or extending the data mart design.
