SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - October 21, 2009) - Recognizing NetApp's (
NASDAQ:
NTAP)
innovative use of Oracle® Business Intelligence software, Oracle named
NetApp a winner of the 2009 Innovation Awards in the Business
Intelligence/Enterprise Performance Management category. NetApp was honored
for its enterprise business intelligence (eBI) program, which has enabled
robust analytical capabilities using Oracle Business Intelligence (BI)
Suite Enterprise Edition (EE) and a near-zero-downtime enterprise data
warehouse using NetApp® storage solutions.
Over the last year, NetApp established an enterprise business intelligence
vision and an advanced, innovative BI architecture using Oracle BI Suite EE
and NetApp storage solutions. The new eBI solution transformed how NetApp
uses information and achieved many of the industry's long-standing BI
goals, including hourly or near-real-time data refresh; functional,
role-based analytics in one intuitive, intelligent eBI application;
multiple ways to view data; and agile analytical business solutions.
Furthermore, NetApp's eBI solution will enable many new cutting-edge
capabilities to help speed business processes and improve productivity.
"Oracle's recognition of our eBI program is a testament to the success of
our program and the IT team that made it happen," said Marina Levinson,
senior vice president and chief information officer at NetApp. "We believe
our eBI program is the first truly integrated enterprise BI solution and
platform in a multibillion-dollar company. This award exemplifies the IT
innovation that has dramatically improved the way we use information to
support our company's strategic decision making."
The Oracle Innovation Awards are judged by an awards committee, consisting
of members from Oracle and third parties including users groups. Nominees
are judged on a variety of factors, including level of effect (ROI/business
benefits) relative to the size of the organization, level of user adoption,
