CORDA Technologies and Sharp Analytics Provide First Full-Service ASP Business Intelligence Solution

Salt Lake City — Jan 18, 2005 — CORDA Technologies, Inc. and Sharp Analytics announced a partnership to provide the first full-service ASP Business Intelligence solution, which combines a world-class executive dashboard interface with on-demand analytics.

This partnership combines Sharp Analytics’ SharpView™, an Application Service Provider (ASP) BI solution, with CenterView™, Corda Technologies’ executive dashboard solution. The result is an end-to-end solution for decision makers to transform raw data to action.

“Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) providers have been hailed as the golden geese for decision making in today’s enterprise environment,” said Chuck Sharp, CEO of Sharp Analytics. “The truth is that most companies would agree that traditional BI solutions are very expensive and provide limited value because of the lack of responsiveness or business understanding of internal IT departments. By combining world class technology in an ASP environment with a strong commitment to quality service we’ve created a solution that has a low total cost of ownership and adds real value to the end user.”

“We have finally found someone who understands our needs and can give us relevant insight with an intuitive interface,” said Vince Pozzuoli, COO of JustLend. “I simply log into my customized dashboard or make a quick request for a more specialized query. Now I get answers to critical questions right away as opposed to waiting several weeks.”

End users can see at a glance the status of projects as diverse as marketing campaigns or equipment utilization to validate their business decisions. CenterView displays results that can be drilled down into to discover specific contribution factors—SharpView provides the necessary data integration, analysis and even the automated execution needed to carry out decisive action.

“Corda offers best in class data visualization with its CenterView executive dashboards,” said Tom O’Dea, executive vice president of marketing for Corda Technologies. “Sharp takes it to the next level by providing an ASP infrastructure and, more importantly, sound analytics and expertise for clients to garner valuable insight on what to do next for ultimate success.”
