LAS VEGAS, NV, March 2, 2005 -- DecisionPoint(R) Software (www.decisionpointsw.com), a provider of financial performance management solutions, today announced seamless integration between DecisionPoint's Financial Performance Warehouse and Hyperion Essbase 7X. With this integration, DecisionPoint combines its specialized ERP sourcing and pre-configured data models with the world's leading cross platform analytical solution. The integration provides Hyperion Essbase users with instant access to hundreds of metrics for detailed analysis across DecisionPoint's packaged Financial Performance Warehouse.

"Companies increasingly require comprehensive and deep insight into all corners of their business operations, both financial and operational," said John Kopcke, CTO of Hyperion Solutions Corporation. "With this integration, organizations can now extend the advanced business and finance analytics of Hyperion Essbase 7X to every aspect of their business, by unlocking data from their ERP systems, and rapidly converting it into pre-packaged analytics."

"DecisionPoint's focus continues to be the sophisticated ERP sourcing and data models necessary to deliver rapid time to market for financial performance management analytics," said Barton Foster, CEO of DecisionPoint Software. "By combining our unique analytic infrastructure with Hyperion Essbase 7X's analytic capabilities, we bring the best of both worlds to our customers."

DecisionPoint's Financial Performance Warehouse consists of 88 interconnected analytic models across finance, human resources, distribution and manufacturing. These models work together to provide detailed metrics and insight into performance, helping to improve execution across specific business processes. The DecisionPoint solution is based on over 10 years of financial analytics expertise, combining robust models with highly specialized sourcing from ERP systems such as Oracle(R), PeopleSoft(R) and SAP(R) into a single, integrated warehouse. The resulting solution provides Hyperion Essbase users with unprecedented pre-packaged analysis and summary to detail visibility, and delivers the ideal platform for Hyperion Essbase users to deploy other Hyperion Business Intelligence tools and Business Performance Management applications.

Enabled via XML, the FPM warehouse is accessed using Hyperion Essbase Integration Services (EIS) and is then immediately available to Hyperion Essbase users as analytic content. With this metadata integration, organizations can deploy Hyperion Essbase analytic applications while automatically reflecting customizations made to their ERP systems. The end result is an analytic solution that can be brought to market in the fraction of the time of other solutions with rapid integration, pre-packaged analytics, and the power and flexibility of Hyperion Essbase 7X. The solution gives Hyperion Essbase users rapid and complete insight into financial performance across their organization while providing DecisionPoint users with the industry leading OLAP solution for in-depth analysis of performance metrics.
