Redmond, Washington, June 5, 2006
CONNX Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of simplified data access management and integration software solutions, today announces a new partnership with Pioneers Information Technologies Co., Ltd., also known as Pio-Tech, a Jordanian-based Information Technology and System Integration company operating throughout the Middle East.
Together, Pio-Tech and CONNX offer highly efficient management solutions with a focus on the banking industry. The ability of CONNX to provide data access and integration will help Pio-Tech generate new opportunities, deliver better service to its customers, and reach markets which have previously been considered difficult to penetrate.
Pio-Tech has already established partnerships with many IT companies, integrating their various solutions with core industry-specific applications. Missions accomplished include integrating workflow and processes automation and developing MIS systems to provide intelligent reporting, a query-and-analysis platform using a data warehouse, as well as other Business Intelligence products. Pio-Tech is using CONNX for data connectivity to Oracle and SQL Server data sources, for example, but especially for hard-to-access data sources and flat files such as C-ISAM.
The CONNX Data Synchronization tool will be used by Pio-Tech to extract data from these sources to a data model. A third-party product is positioned on top of the data model to provide customers with advanced reporting, query, and analysis requirements.
CONNX adaptability is used by Pio-Tech in Business Process Management solutions as well, providing pre-built banking processes and workflows in integration with the banking systems that store data on flat files.
"Pio-Tech has committed itself to a lasting and successful presence in the Middle East, and to this day has invested heavily in recruiting highly qualified and experienced personnel. We are confident that our experience will aid in exposing CONNX to the evolving and promising Middle East marketing by introducing CONNX to both the end customers and technology providers in our area," said Rand Hashem, Managing Director at Pio-Tech. "We had a project to implement a data warehouse and business intelligence solution at a bank, which used a closed banking system based on C-ISAM files. For more than six months, we were unable to properly access the data for the needed data integration until we were introduced to CONNX (through an ad in one of the business magazines). We were immediately impressed with the feature content of CONNX, its ease of use, and the professional service provided by the CONNX team. Using CONNX, we were able in just two weeks to set up a proof of concept, build a pilot model, and successfully demonstrate a solution for the customer. We have already had interest from other customers with similar requirements who wish to expand current project scope and implement a data warehouse solution using CONNX and the Data Synchronization tool."
"The success Pio-Tech has experienced again confirms significant benefits are achieved with the high-performance distributed architecture CONNX brings to the marketplace. The total solution with a major BI vendor coupled with the robust solution for gathering incremental changes made to databases guarantees a secure and flexible reusable solution. Pio-Tech is CONNX Solutions' entry into the Middle East," said Shirley McKinney, Director of Business Development at CONNX.
