River Logic Announces BI Integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Interoperability with Microsoft's BI Platform

    DALLAS, TX, September 29, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- River Logic, Inc., the leading provider of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and advanced business modeling software, today announced the availability of Enterprise Optimizer with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 integration. This integration builds on the strengths of each application to provide comprehensive Integrated Business Planning. The scalable and searchable Office SharePoint Server 2007 platform combined with Enterprise Optimizer provides users with an effective way to closely collaborate, facilitating better business insight for improved decision-making.

"This move by River Logic can enable customers to maximize their BI and collaboration investments," said Kathleen Winder, director of SharePoint Marketing at Microsoft. "We're excited to see River Logic's commitment to the SharePoint platform, and believe this integration can deliver users real productivity improvements."

Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides an infrastructure for building collaborative portals that make it possible for companies to share information and documents across teams, departments, and large organizations easily, reliably, and securely. The EO platform models and optimizes long-term strategy, business policy, tactical planning, and financial planning. Together the technologies turn planning and performance management into a competitive advantage.

The seamless integration between these applications enables decision-makers to take planning and performance management to a new level. The combined solution supports strategic modeling (e.g., marketing and supply chain strategies, capex allocation, workforce capacity, M&A, etc.), as well as tactical planning processes (e.g., S&OP, master planning, etc.). Additionally, the integration increases visibility to improve decision-support on the profitability of resources (e.g., products, customers, and channels).

"As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we've built upon the strengths of Enterprise Optimizer and Office SharePoint Server 2007 to enhance decision-support for the entire enterprise," stated Kevin Howe, CEO for River Logic. "These complimentary technologies give businesses even greater control over business intelligence and empower all users to make more informed business decisions."
