LAS VEGAS, NV November 16, 1998 Silvon Software, Inc. today announced the availability of Silvon DataTracker 3.0, the application foundation for building and managing supply-chain focused data warehouses and analytic applications in an open platform environment. Silvon DataTracker 3.0 features storage, performance and ease-of-deployment enhancements that address issues ranging from scalability and fast data loading to the enterprise-wide management of highly granular data.
According to Silvon, Silvon DataTracker 3.0 will allow companies to better leverage their current business performance management applications, expand the scope of these solutions from a few users to the enterprise-wide level, and support additional applications and larger, more dynamic data repositories particularly within the supply chain segment.
"Silvon's application-oriented data warehouse solution is focused on supporting high volumes of supply chain detail data," said Aaron Zornes, Executive Vice President for Application Delivery Strategies at META Group. "Silvon also is focused on user-oriented capabilities to maximize business performance management which is an increasingly critical aspect of delivering data mart solutions."
Silvon DataTracker 3.0 offers increased performance, scalability and data granularity leading to faster, more robust construction and management of large, active application data marts and vertical data warehouses. Performance features such as fast parallel loading, advanced incremental storage updates and an improved calculation engine expand the application scalability of Silvon DataTracker. Data warehouse management features, such as dynamic table partitioning, query limits, and flexible master file creation and maintenance, simplify management and lower the cost of ownership. Silvon DataTracker 3.0 also includes several new supply chain application-specific features including the integration of real time process data, additional capabilities for processing changed data sets, and the inclusion of sparse periodic structure codes.
"Our broad industrial customer base guides our product development," said John Hughes, Silvon’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We have manufacturing, distribution and retail customers with Silvon DataTracker who post hundreds of thousands of transactions per day and this number isn’t decreasing. Their need for real time business intelligence applications is expanding even faster. With Silvon DataTracker 3.0 we now have the foundation to build a wide range of high performance applications on granular data such as SKU by day by store."
"Silvon’s approach to business intelligence analysis is ideally suited to the retail environment," said Dan Moran, vice president of development for analytical solutions at JDA Software. "JDA’s Retail IDEAS product, which is powered by Silvon DataTracker, provides retailers great analytical applications that manage a large number of performance measures at whatever level of summary or detail makes sense for our customers."
