Powerful New Features in 2.2 Release Make SIS a Significant Product in Hyperion BPM Market

Star Analytics, Inc. announces a new version of Star Analytics' Star Integration Server (SIS), available immediately. This new release, Version 2.2 brings a host of powerful and significant new features to customers of the Hyperion (NSDQ:HYSL) Business Performance Management suite of products.

According to Quinlan K. Eddy, President of Star Analytics, "SIS 2.2 offers users of Hyperion BPMTM, including Hyperion PlanningTM and Hyperion Financial ManagementTM(HFM), a powerful way to capitalize on their investment in Hyperion, by easily sharing their data with other financial systems around the enterprise."

"Among many other benefits, SIS Version 2.2 offers our customers tight integration with Hyperion's Master Data Management server, as well as more efficient delivery of information to relational star schemas," said Eddy. "It also provides significantly improved extraction capabilities, and a number of important user interface enhancements."

Existing customers of the SIS product are saying very positive things about the new release. "Star Integration Server version 2.2 is an affordable software package that provides a two-pronged solution ? increased performance for financial applications, and lower total cost of ownership," said Jeff Brobst, Senior Manager of Financial Applications at Symantec Corporation (NSDQ:SYMC). "It cost us more to evaluate the available alternatives to your SIS product than it cost us to simply buy it," said one SIS customer, a Director of Finance Systems at a Major Aircraft Manufacturer.
