Claraview Forms Services Partnership with SAP

FALLS CHURCH, VA, October 27, 2005 – Claraview, a strategy and technology consultancy specializing in business intelligence, today announced that it has become an SAP® Services Partner. This new partnership formalizes ongoing collaboration between the two companies to help leading enterprises in both the public and private sector fully realize the decision support potential of their ERP systems.

"SAP has helped transform the way leading enterprises conduct business, from financial management to manufacturing processes,” said Sid Banerjee, CEO of Claraview. “We are seeing an increased desire in the market to use business intelligence to maximize the full value of the data assets captured within SAP solutions and other parts of the enterprise. Our goal of partnering with SAP is to provide this expertise to the SAP customer community.”

Claraview’s business intelligence (BI) practice for SAP solutions focuses on delivering the following to SAP customers:

• Claraview’s data integration expertise with the SAP NetWeaver® platform and the SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (SAP NetWeaver BI) component enables Claraview to perform data integration for SAP customers.

• SAP customers often want to leverage existing investments in business intelligence infrastructure by extending its analytical reach to the implementation of SAP solutions, such as SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW), part of SAP NetWeaver BI. Claraview combines the disciplines of business intelligence and SAP solutions to make this a reality.

• Transactional systems often require additional programming efforts to retrieve relevant information, preventing business units from serving themselves to information without programming expertise. Through extensive experience in implementing business intelligence solutions, Claraview provides best practices for strategy, technology implementations, and business process management to ensure that information is actionable and distributed through the enterprise.

Claraview’s practice for SAP NetWeaver BI leverages the Claraview WaySM, a proven methodology for repeatable project success, especially for data warehousing and business intelligence engagements.
