Orange Increases Analysis

Netezza Corporation has announced that Orange UK has increased its commitment to the Netezza Performance Server (NPS) to keep pace with growing subscriber data. Orange UK first purchased an NPS system in July 2003 to power its business intelligence efforts and support a range of customer and financial analysis down to the Call Detail Records (CDRs) level.

"In a very short period of time, the NPS system has proved its value and delivered what we expected--speed, power and unmatched capability for CDR analysis," said Judith Galpin, manager of Revenue Protection & Business Intelligence, Orange UK. "Thanks to the combined support of Netezza and their systems integrator, Infogain, we have gone live on schedule. Now, the seamless transition to an expanded Netezza system means we can grow our BI capabilities and its resilience."

"The ability to rapidly and comprehensively analyze CDRs and other customer-related data can be a significant competitive advantage for large telecommunications players," said Gary Butler, CTO of Infogain, Netezza's systems integration partner. "The Netezza Performance Server appliance delivers this capability while providing a flexible and open system for rapid and easy deployment. Our expertise in designing and implementing complex analytics systems, combined with Netezza's technology, delivers a powerful CDR analytics and business intelligence solution that can grow with organizations as their data needs increase."

"There is perhaps no greater validation of the NPS system's value than customers like Orange UK, who realize the expected value of the NPS platform and extend their commitment when their data needs increase," said Jit Saxena, co-founder and CEO of Netezza Corp. "Designed for quick and easy scalability, the NPS appliance enables Orange UK, and other Netezza customers, to keep pace with the requirements created by fast-growing data volumes. Netezza is quickly becoming the analytic infrastructure backbone of choice at some of the most data-intensive organizations in the world. Netezza is proud to include Orange UK among this group."
