“Composite Software’s agile integration approach is consistent with Netezza’s strategy for solving complex enterprise-wide challenges including global federation,” said Phil Francisco, vice president, Product Management and Product Marketing at Netezza. “Together we are working towards offering solutions for high-value data integration projects to benefit from the performance customers’ have come to expect from Netezza.”
