The agreement sees the company offer implementation and integration of the Sunopsis offerings, as well as provide customised consultancy and training on the product suite.

Edge Associates is a consulting and professional services company specialising in leading edge data warehouse, business intelligence and data analysis solutions. In March this year it signed a systems integrator agreement with fast-growing provider of enterprise-class data warehouse appliances, Netezza.

Eric Lipscombe, founder and director of Edge Associates, comments: "In order to provide our customers with the effective advice and guidance necessary for them to gain competitive advantage, we need access to leading edge technology. As a result of being involved in the database and datawarehousing market for over 20 years, we recognised Sunopsis as suppliers of best-of-breed next generation ELT products."

Mike Clarke, sales director at Sunopsis UK, says: "Sunopsis believes strongly that the way to continue and accelerate its growth in the UK market is to forge business relationships with organisations that complement its offerings. These strategic partnerships require working with people who truly understand the datawarehousing and enterprise integration markets and are committed to providing the best technology and expertise to their clients. This is why we are proud that Edge Associates has decided to include our products in their expertise portfolio."
