Evolutionary Technologies Joins With Microsoft to Speed Access to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 BI Solutions; ETI to Provide High Performance Connectors for SQL Server 2005.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Evolutionary Technologies International Inc. (ETI), a leading provider of enterprise data integration solutions, today announced that ETI is working with Microsoft Corp. to expedite the loading of data into Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) through ETI(R) High Performance Connectors (HPC).

SQL Server 2005 provides engine-based data integration, analysis, and reporting that offers customers rapid development and rapid access to data. ETI has produced HPCs for streaming source data directly into the Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) Platform without requiring the data to be staged in intermediate tables.

Using BI to increase a company's agility only works if the BI solution has timely access to data. In some industries, such as telecom, where the volume of data to be analyzed is huge, there's often a bottleneck between operational systems and the application.

"SQL Server 2005 provides developers with an exceptional set of tools for speeding the design and implementation of world-class BI applications," said Laurie Crossett, vice president of business development, ETI. "In tandem, ETI can ensure that those applications have efficient access to the data they need, regardless of where it resides in the enterprise."

A high performance connector between NCR Teradata and SQL Server is the first of a number of planned ETI HPCs to be developed. Customers who want a custom connector between SSIS and other production systems can use ETI Solution(R) Version 5 to provide the specifications for generating custom connectors between their legacy systems and SSIS.

"ETI Solution Version 5 is an efficient and fast way to obtain data out of a non-Microsoft-based environment and into SQL Server 2005," said Donald Farmer, group program manager of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) at Microsoft Corp. "ETI Solution also removes the requirement to land the data prior to loading it into SSIS. This reduces the overall cost of storage, and also enables Teradata users to leverage Microsoft's cutting-edge data integration seamlessly with their data."
