Heidelberg, Germany (August 16, 2011) — DataFlux, a leading provider of data management solutions, today announced it has signed a new partnership agreement with SP Integration, a Frankfurt, Germany-based IT service provider. The companies will work together in the German market to target medium sized enterprises with unique analytical and operational data management solutions made up of DataFlux’s leading technology and SP Integration’s customer-first service delivery.

At the center of any data management initiative is high-quality, fit-for-purpose data – and it is something that poses a challenge for many companies. For example, if unreliable data is powering an operational system such as a customer relationship management (CRM) database or analytical business intelligence (BI) engine, the full benefit of these applications cannot be realized. Accordingly, well-managed and trusted data is essential to a company's long-term success. DataFlux offers software solutions for data quality, data integration and master data management (MDM) so that organizations can treat their corporate data as a trusted asset. SP Integration will collaborate with DataFlux on projects focused on data quality management by assisting its enterprise customer base with data migration, data profiling and data validation initiatives.

"Companies today realize the importance of high-quality corporate data and are beginning to treat their data as an asset that needs to be properly managed,” says Ingo Sievert, managing director at SP Integration. “We were looking for a vendor that could provide world-class data quality solutions for our partner portfolio – as well as offer a foundation for overall data improvement. Industry analysts have repeatedly placed DataFlux in the highest levels of their vendor rankings, citing the company’s vision and ability to execute across a wide range of data management and data quality projects. When paired with the company’s technology leadership and dedication to its customers, we have no doubt our clients will benefit greatly from this partnership.” 

"We are pleased to join forces with SP Integration, a partner that can deliver DataFlux technology with confidence to its customer base and forward-thinking companies across Germany that are looking to derive value from their data" says Helmut Plinke, principal data management consultant at DataFlux. "The collaboration will unleash synergies for both sides as we provide extensive technical training in data management roadmaps and data quality execution to SP Integration’s talented team of consultants.”
