Attunity Extends its Partnership With Microsoft to Enable Heterogeneous Change Data Capture

Partnership Enables Customers to Integrate and Replicate Heterogeneous Data With Significant Cost Savings BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, November 2
BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, November 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Attunity Ltd. (OTC BB: ATTUF.OB), a leading provider of real-time data integration and event capture software, announced today a strategic partnership to market solutions that enable real-time business intelligence and efficient data integration based on the companies' data integration products. The solution, based on Microsoft's SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and Attunity's low-impact change data capture (CDC) technology, enables efficient and real-time integration of heterogeneous data with significant cost savings.
Enabling real-time business intelligence and guaranteeing consistency of business information across heterogeneous data silos are challenges facing many organizations looking to improve customer service, optimize operations, and increase margins. Delivering on these capabilities in a cost-effective way has become more and more challenging as data volumes continue to grow, especially in heterogeneous IT environments.
Attunity is a Microsoft SQL Server connectivity partner and a leading independent provider of low-impact CDC technology that enables capturing and processing only the changes made to heterogeneous enterprise data sources, relational and non-relational, on platforms ranging from Windows to the Mainframe. The integrated offering of Attunity's CDC with Microsoft's SSIS is now available for many heterogeneous data sources and targets, enabling customers to reduce ETL load times and enable real-time, continuous data integration for data warehousing and operational reporting. By processing significantly lower data volumes, leveraging existing licenses and common skill sets, and using an easy to configure solution, customers can expect cost savings in hardware, software licenses, and implementation services.
"Microsoft SQL Server, as a business intelligence platform, provides customers with a powerful set of tools to integrate and manage their data in order to support modern business intelligence requirements," said Tom Casey, general manager of SQL Server Business Intelligence at Microsoft Corp. "We value Attunity as a partner and its product suite extends SSIS to enable customers to address enterprise and real-time integration requirements across a heterogeneous environment using the tools and applications they are already familiar with."
"The need for real-time information is growing and with it the costs of making it available for business users to support decisions and operations," stated Shimon Alon, Attunity's chief executive officer. "In having a strategic partnership with Microsoft, we have invested in extending our suite of ODR solutions integrated with Microsoft SQL Server so more customers can benefit from its cost-efficiencies and capitalize on the value of real-time information."
