Hexaware and Greenplum team up on Data Management

Posted: 21 April 2009

Hexaware Technologies, a provider of IT & BPO services and consulting, has announced a global partnership with Greenplum, a provider of database software for data warehousing and large scale analytic processing. While Greenplum will provide the database platform, Hexaware will enable the migration, implementation, upgrades and maintenance services on these platforms.

Increasingly, due to the proliferation of multiple channels, the volume of data is on a rise and this has led to data explosion. Corporates are sensing the urgency to analyze data and there is an ever growing demand to manage data and convert it into useful information, thus enabling the need to migrate to intelligent analytical platforms. Greenplum Database is based on a massive parallel processing (MPP) architecture designed to support next generation data warehousing and large scale analytical processing. It scales from terabytes to petabytes of data on a very cost competitive platform, thus helping companies gain insight and competitive advantage from their data.

Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI & A) has been a strong focus area for Hexaware. This association with Greenplum will enable the two companies not only to provide a powerful data warehouse database platform, but also to address the end-to-end implementation of the data warehouse, migration, maintenance and support for customers. This solution will be game-changing in the BI & A space and will benefit customers with high data and analytics-intensive applications, in industries including Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) and Travel, Transportation, Hospitality and Logistics (TTHL). Moorthi Chokkanathan, Global Head - Enterprise Solutions, Hexaware Technologies Ltd. said, "Hexaware, with a focused business intelligence and analytics practice, has decided to partner with Greenplum, recognizing Greenplum's approach to tackle exploding data volumes and their ability to help customers achieve the compelling value proposition of petabyte-scale analytics at breakthrough speeds."

"Greenplum has had success around the world by bringing Greenplum Database to new markets with strategic partners such as Hexaware," said Keith Budge, Greenplum GM, Asia Pacific and Japan. "Hexaware is a leader in its markets and is an ideal partner for Greenplum and customers worldwide who can benefit from their expertise in implementation services for large scale analytics and data processing."

Greenplum will provide Hexaware with the preliminary training and familiarization of the database. Hexaware will continue to build competencies and solution accelerators around the database thus tailoring to specific customer needs. Hexaware is setting up a Greenplum center of expertise and will be creating a team of Greenplum software professionals as part of this initiative.

As a part of this alliance, Hexaware and Greenplum will engage in joint go-to-market activities, which will include customized solutions to enhance the value for the end customer. The companies will embark on joint executive briefings to key customers thus leveraging each other's competencies.
