TELUS Deploys Appfluent to Improve BI and Data Warehouse Performance Management

Published: March 11, 2008

TELUS has successfully deployed the Appfluent Product Suite to improve its BI and data warehouse performance and increase the agility and effectiveness of its IT staff.

Appfluent Technology, Inc. recently announced that TELUS has successfully deployed the Appfluent Product Suite to improve its BI and data warehouse performance and increase the agility and effectiveness of its IT staff.

“We are entering into the era of pervasive BI, where low latency, in-process ‘actionable’ information is required to support critical tactical and strategic business decisions. Appfluent gives our Business Intelligence Competency Centre (BICC) holistic and non-invasive insight into corporate data usage, infrastructure utilization and query performance,” said Simon Gratton, Director, Business Transformation at TELUS. “With ever-increasing quantities of data requiring consolidation, aggregation and transformation, and changing business needs from the resulting data warehouse information, ongoing proactive usage analytics after solution deployment are crucial to both reducing the total cost of ownership and ensuring
ongoing customer satisfaction with the performance and content of the enterprise BI solution.”

TELUS required the ability to accurately diagnose and remedy performance problems before they happen, provide visibility to data usage and system utilization to efficiently scale its BI and Data Warehouse environment, and reduce the complexity of its database and application systems while increasing the collaboration of their BI/ Data Warehouse teams. Appfluent answered the TELUS call by providing nondisruptive, comprehensive monitoring and analysis of the TELUS BI/ Data Warehouse environment.

Because Appfluent’s award-winning product suite delivers analysis via the Cognos 8 Business Intelligence platform, every member of the BI and Data Warehousing team is able to easily leverage Appfluent’s usage and performance analysis. Today, the Appfluent product suite is deployed to monitor large-scale data warehouses on both IBM DB2
and Oracle data warehouse platforms.
