Innovative Systems Announces Partnership with Striva

Partnership provides important data capture, extraction and propagation capabilities to Innovative's enterprise customer data integration solutions

Pittsburgh, PA - August 6, 2002 - Innovative Systems, Inc. and Striva Corporation today announced an agreement that will enable Innovative to license and integrate Striva's award winning data integration and data services platform, Striva DETAIL™ within its i/Lytics™ customer data integration software.

Striva DETAIL will provide Innovative customers with fast, simplified, high-performance access to enterprise data, and will accelerate the implementation of Innovative's solutions to cleanse, integrate, manage and use customer data. The data capture, extraction and propagation capabilities within Striva DETAIL will offer i/Lytics unique and powerful functionality for complex customer data migration projects.

"Data accessibility and data quality are two key factors that impact the success of customer information-driven applications," said Ted Friedman, Research Analyst at Gartner. "However, most enterprises underestimate the time and resources required to perform data extraction, transformation and cleansing of customer information, with many exceeding their budgets for this effort by two or three times. Ever-increasing complexity and volumes of data further exacerbate the problem."

According to Mike Healy, Executive Vice President of Marketing for Innovative, "The decision to partner with Striva was easy - it allows Innovative to deliver a best of breed solution for customer data integration. Striva DETAIL both eliminates the complexity of mainframe direct access, and provides us with the ability to scale our solutions with real-time data - all within the same technology.

"The partnership also builds on Innovative's strategy of delivering comprehensive customer data integration solutions. With the combined capabilities of source data profiling, data extraction and propagation, and customer data quality, Innovative is positioned as one of the only solution providers to offer all of these critical components in an "end-to-end" customer data integration solution," Healy concluded.

"We are delighted to partner with Innovative Systems, a household name in the data quality and customer data integration business," said Paul Bach, president of Striva. "Customer information and data quality management present ideal scenarios for our technology where success is greatly enhanced by the ability to quickly access large volumes of complex data on different platforms. The ability within Striva DETAIL to also move changed data, and data in real-time, provides Innovative with unparalleled capabilities to deliver solutions that can scale over time to meet changing customer needs."
