Sourcevolution Becomes Official Reseller and Integrator of IBM Netezza & Big Data, a Data Warehouse Appliance

Montreal firm confirms its BI leadership position


MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - June 12, 2012) - Sourcevolution, an information technology (IT) solutions firm, has signed a partnership agreement with IBM to become an official reseller and integrator of IBM Netezza & Big Data solutions. Due to its widely-recognized centre of excellence in business intelligence (BI) and its team of certified experts, Sourcevolution has been recognized as one of the very few Quebec firms able to integrate the cutting-edge IBM Netezza & Big Data line of data warehouse products.

Large organizations are often faced with massive amounts of data and limited technological infrastructure; thus the need for robust tools capable of rapid and in-depth analysis and interpretation of ever-increasing amounts of data. Netezza & Big Data is a line of scalable solutions from IBM offering the performance needed to efficiently analyze complex data with unprecedented simplicity and at a competitive total cost of ownership.

Sourcevolution maintains a leadership position in the industry and continues to demonstrate a strong ability to handle the BI needs - and now, the big data needs - of various organizations. The addition of the IBM Netezza & Big Data line is a logical extension of the firm's current offer, which already includes expert services for related products, such as IBM DataStage and IBM Cognos, as well as SAS Business Analytics and SAS Business Intelligence.

"We are thrilled with this new show of confidence from IBM. We already have a long standing relationship with IBM and have worked closely with them in recent years to develop our mobile communication platform, freedomone" states Yves Perron, President of Sourcevolution. "This partnership came about very naturally. We believe that our knowledge and vast expertise in business intelligence will be a value add to IBM Netezza & Big Data solutions which in turn will help our clients benefit fully from our know-how during the integration process."

Sourcevolution's current clients and organizations in Quebec are already showing great interest in IBM Netezza & Big Data solutions.
