Leading Italian Systems Integrator To Utilize Group 1's Sagent Data Flow Solution To Enhance Its Clients' Business Intelligence Initiatives
Lanham, MD and Vimodrone (Milan) — Group 1 Software (Nasdaq: GSOF) and ONE-ANS, a leading Italian solutions integrator, today announced a partnership under which ONE-ANS will market, resell and deploy Group 1's Sagent Data Flow technology.

EII facilitates the integration of structured data from any relevant source, enabling users to obtain an intelligent, real-time view of the business.

With Group 1's technology, data can be extracted, cleansed, transformed, and transported to a variety of destination databases and file formats through a fully visual, user-friendly interface. Sagent Data Flow's unique architecture allows it to accommodate high volume data transfer as well as the rapid query-based extracts, analysis, and reporting provided by EII.
“With Group 1's Sagent Data Flow, projects are delivered more quickly, with increased customer satisfaction and decreased development risks,” said Fabio Orfanini, CEO of ONE-ANS. “EII complements a vast majority of enterprise applications and reduces our clients' maintenance costs. With Sagent Data Flow as a backbone, we can provide our customers an end-to-end data integration solution that enhances organizational business intelligence.”
