Sybase's Avaki EII Software Certified on MicroStrategy

MicroStrategy is enhancing its scorecard and dashboard capabilities with the certification of Sybase® Avaki® Enterprise Information Integration (EII) software on the MicroStrategy Business Intelligence Platform™. With the certification of Sybase Avaki EII, MicroStrategy 8 extends its heterogeneous database access capability to include Web services data sources and file-based data stores, and also allows MicroStrategy customers to combine even greater volumes of heterogeneous data with a greater array of join options. Sybase Avaki streamlines integration of data from many distributed sources while providing standardized access to many combined data views through a single data layer.

“We are pleased that Sybase Avaki EII has been certified on MicroStrategy 8. With the increased demand for accessing third party data via Web services and file-based data, this certification will allow MicroStrategy users to effectively deliver critical decision support and monitor business performance. Sybase Avaki enables users to access and integrate data from diverse data sources within and outside the enterprise.”

–Kathleen Schaub, VP of Product Management, Information Technology Solutions Group, Sybase
