Paris, France – 26th June 2012 – Actian Corporation and Decideis, a consultant and business intelligence (BI) systems integrator and a key BI operator in France for the last 15 years, announced today that they have signed a strategic reseller agreement. According to the agreement, Decideis will now offer customers a 'pure software' solution that is ideal for implementing affordable Big Data projects efficiently and rapidly.

As an innovative in-memory BI pioneer since 2003, Decideis offers customers agility in deploying BI projects by integrating the best innovative solutions. With a lead over traditional IT service providers, the company implements projects rapidly to help businesses take control of their BI solutions. This innovative approach minimizes costs while ensuring optimum customer satisfaction.

This agreement gives Decideis customers instant access to business insight delivered by Vectorwise, the analytic database engine that offers record processing speed. Vectorwise makes use of vector-based, on-chip memory technology to process large volumes of data on standard servers without requiring additional expense of resources and overhead.

"Vectorwise fits perfectly with our strategic vision of business intelligence. Overcoming the lock-in constraints of proprietary appliances, Vectorwise is the most agile pure software solution to cope with new BI challenges in the face of increasingly large data volumes. Our unique lead in this field will give our customers an impressive price/performance ratio and value for money," explained Yves Blake, CEO of Decideis.

"Given that Decideis has managed to turn itself into a favourite among French BI operators, it’s natural that we were so keen to establish this agreement so as to round off their BI offering with a record breaking analytic database," commented Christian Raza, sales director France for Actian. "Actian's Vectorwise delivers fast speeds and is compatible with most existing physical and virtual platforms while allowing users to turn their corporate data into actionable insight and information."
