Siperian	San Mateo, CA	www.siperian.com

Siperian is quickly becoming the de-facto standard for companies who want to maximize their prior investments in customer relationship management (CRM) and business intelligence (BI) applications and, more importantly, to manage their most valuable information asset: customer data.

As a Customer Data Integration (CDI) platform, the Siperian Hub has a hybrid approach that offers a neutral template-driven data model while leveraging a company's pre-existing infrastructure of data tools (ETL, EII, DQ) and middleware. At its core, the solution is based upon a meta-driven, rules-based, configurable framework that allows rapid extensibility to new data sources and business conditions.

Therefore, for IT teams, Siperian results in a low total cost of ownership solution that has data reliability built ground-up into the customer hub. In addition, with its service-oriented architecture, the solution becomes a trusted platform to support new applications that use reliable customer data.

For business users, Siperian enables and delivers unified customer views that are relevant, accurate and timely. These unified views, integrated in business processes, results in more efficient and profitable customer relationships, reduced customer data operations costs and increased accuracy of regulatory compliance.
