Release date: 4/14/2009

Bloor Research, an independent analyst company, has named DataFlux as a data "champion" in its latest Market Update reports in the data profiling and data discovery categories.

WINDSOR, UK (April 14, 2009) – DataFlux, a leading provider of data quality and data integration solutions, today announced that it has been named a data "champion" in the latest data profiling and data discovery Market Update reports published by Bloor Research, an independent analyst company.

In its Market Update reports, Bloor Research analyzed the data profiling and data discovery solutions from over 20 vendors in the marketplace, considering factors such as: which data profiling tools support data discovery, which product sets complement data cleansing and matching, and how effectively vendor products support different approaches to managing data relationships.

Philip Howard, research director, Bloor Research noted DataFlux is among a select group of vendors that offer a broader capability beyond data profiling and data quality alone. DataFlux was one of only five vendors to be categorized as a "champion" in data profiling and one of six vendors in the data discovery "champion" category.

"The findings in this report build on previous assessments from independent analyst firms that demonstrate DataFlux’s vision and ability to transform data into a business asset for our customers," said Katie Fabiszak, international managing director for DataFlux. "DataFlux continues to see significant demand for data quality-driven solutions that enable successful data migration, spend management, data governance and master data management initiatives."

Bloor Research defines data discovery as the discovery of relationships between data elements, regardless of where the data is stored. Data profiling discovers relationships between data elements, whether they are in the same data source or across multiple sources and performs statistical analysis within relational databases.
