Star Analytics Expands Global Reach By Signing James & Monroe As Reseller For Australia And New Zealand
Star Analytics, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise data integration software for Financial Consolidation, Planning, Budgeting and Analysis, recently announced a Value Added Reseller (VAR) agreement with James & Monroe Pty Ltd, a Melbourne-based consultancy that specializes in the analysis, design and implementation of Business Performance Management (BPM) solutions.
James & Monroe is reselling Star Integration Server as the financial data integration platform within its BPM offering. The solution will help customers optimize performance and profitability by combining financial data from Oracle Hyperion applications with real-time operational and Business Intelligence (BI) data.
"Financial data in large companies is locked away inside proprietary financial applications -- a problem that grinds time-sensitive profitability decisions to a halt," said Suzanne Hoffman, Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Star Analytics. "Our partnership with James & Monroe exposes customers to the only automated solution designed specifically for integrating this financial information with time-sensitive operational data, under the guidance of a partner with proven methodologies and successful deployments in BPM, Data Warehousing and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP). The fact that joint customer opportunities are already emerging in segments such as banking is a testament to our potential growth in the region."
"The StarPartners program is a great fit based on our strategy to offer enterprise-class BPM systems that create substantial business value for our clients," said Scott Taylor, Director, James & Monroe. "Our large installed base of customers using Oracle Essbase, Oracle Hyperion Planning and Oracle Hyperion Enterprise need an easier and faster way to extract data and share it with other applications, databases and BI reporting tools. Star Integration Server is the best alternative to building custom applications for each customer because it eliminates our challenge of ongoing maintenance and version control."
James & Monroe is one of only four Oracle Hyperion resellers for Australia/New Zealand and all of its consultants are certified in Hyperion products.
