Firstlogic Names SOLIDPartners (Part of Keyrus Group) Distributor for Data Quality Solutions in Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg

Firstlogic Inc., a leading global provider of enterprise information quality software and services, and SOLIDPartners, a leading Brussels-based consultancy service company that delivers total and integrated data warehouse and business intelligence solutions, today announced a distribution agreement that brings Firstlogic data quality software to leading companies in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg.

Effective immediately, the strategic distribution alliance authorizes SOLIDPartners to sell, install, and provide in-region support for Firstlogic's IQ Insight® data profiling solution and the IQ8® solution for designing, deploying and managing data quality processes. SOLIDPartners will couple an extensive background working with many different systems and vendors for data warehousing and business intelligence consulting projects with new expertise in Firstlogic's data quality technologies and data quality services in order to help organizations better manage vital information assets already stored in their corporate computing environment. Data quality is essential to organizations of all sizes that seek accurate analysis of information for strategic business decisions, competitive advantage and accurate compliance reporting for regulations including Basel II and Sarbanes-Oxley. The two companies plan a market education event in Belgium in March to further discuss the role of data quality in businesses.

A leader in European business intelligence, SOLIDPartners aligns with organizations to unlock data in order to deliver the right information that is critical for informed decision-making, by delivering services and solutions for business information delivery, in a trusted advisor relationship. SOLIDPartners works with a variety of prestigious clients in finance, telecommunication, pharmaceuticals, retail and utilities industries, such as ING Group, KBC, Proximus and Luminus.

"Organizations recognize the pivotal role of data quality for successful data warehousing initiatives, useful business intelligence programs and accurate compliance reporting and realize that projects will fail without accurate data," says Michael Keilen, Firstlogic vice president of global distribution. "SOLIDPartners has a strong reputation for applying deep and expert knowledge to innovative projects across the diverse IT infrastructure of leading firms. We are proud to have SOLIDPartners bring Firstlogic's enterprise data quality technologies to the Benelux region."

"Firstlogic's data quality software is an excellent supplement to SOLIDPartners' solutions, in guiding leading firms to success in their corporate data governance initiatives," says Frank Rossaert, founding partner of SOLIDPartners. "When companies consider the tremendous impact of data quality on their projects, it is only logical to include this key technology in their business intelligence and data warehousing projects."
