Sybase, Manthan Join Hands For IT Services To Retailers

Sybase, the US-based global enterprise software firm, has entered into a partnership with Manthan Systems, a Bangalore-based solution provider of business intelligence (BI) and analytics solutions, to deploy its IQ database platform for data warehousing needs of the retail sector.

The partnership will enable Manthan to use the Sybase data warehousing product to deploy its retail-specific BI solution "ARC" cost-effectively for retailers in food and grocery, fashion and lifestyle, merchandise formats and speciality segments.

Built on an enterprise retail data model, ARC provides cross-functional analytics for retail functions and empowers retailers with the right kind of analytics.

"Retailers have found ARC's ability to be deployed rapidly as a major advantage in their competitive environment. The data model variants can be customised for other retail users," said Manthan marketing director Anand Sri Ganesh.
