The Ironside Group and CubeRunner USA form strategic partnership

Waltham, MA, April 12, 2004 - The Ironside Group is pleased to announce it has entered into a partnership whereby the Ironside Group can offer its clients CubeRunner USA’s automated Cognos PowerPlay PowerCube building and deployment product set.

“Our customers find CubeRunner’s benefits clear and obvious,” said Ross Barrington, Vice President of Marketing for CubeRunner USA. “The products eliminate PowerCube delivery failures, increase administrative control and reduce ongoing costs to manage the PowerCube delivery process.”

The CubeRunner product set eliminates the need for PowerPlay customers to employ a series of batch scripts and macros to build and deploy PowerCubes. The products use an intuitive Windows interface to define PowerCube building and deployment requirements and automatically schedule delivery.

“By partnering with CubeRunner USA, our clients benefit from a more comprehensive Cognos PowerPlay Business Intelligence solution,” said John McMahon, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the Ironside Group. “This technology compliments our existing solution, and will deliver incremental value to all our PowerPlay clients.”

“We are extremely pleased that The Ironside Group has chosen CubeRunner as their product of choice for reliable, cost effective PowerCube delivery,” said Brett Radford, CEO for CubeRunner USA. “By working with The Ironside Group, we are enabling more companies to realize greater benefit from their Business Intelligence investment.”
