Partnership Extends SDG Group's Existing Service Offerings to Include Attunity InFocus

BURLINGTON, Mass., May 22 / -- Attunity (NASDAQ:ATTU), the leading provider of solutions in the new and fast growing workplace applications market, has formed a partnership with global management consulting firm SDG Group. Under terms of the agreement, SDG Group will extend their service offerings to include Attunity InFocus, Attunity's software platform for rapidly configuring, deploying, running and managing workplace applications.

Attunity InFocus is the industry's only platform that allows organizations to build and run applications, which help them more efficiently assess, act on, and monitor the business's exceptional and non-routine activities. Specifically designed with an organization's highest-value employees in mind such as business managers and knowledge workers, Attunity InFocus enables faster and more effective management, control and resolution of their critical operational activities.

With a focus on helping its customers be more effective by converting business strategy into effective execution, SDG Group's partnership with Attunity will enable its clients to dramatically increase their ability to focus on the organization's core business indicators and more importantly take immediate and proactive action.

"Our primary objective is to help companies be more competitive by strengthening the critical link between strategic planning and execution. Much of our consulting is focused on enabling management to more effectively monitor and act on information," said Matteo Rossetti, managing director of U.S. Operations, SDG Group. "Working with Attunity was a natural fit for us as Attunity InFocus will help us better serve our client base. Attunity InFocus enables our customers to make timelier, more effective decisions by enabling management to collaborate with other key decision makers in the organization and quickly reference the relevant information needed, all within context, to take action and monitor and learn from those decisions and actions. We see this as a huge asset for companies within our key vertical markets, including healthcare and manufacturing."

"We continue to see success with Attunity InFocus within fields like manufacturing and healthcare - fields which are information rich, highly regulated or have a frequent occurrence of unplanned events which rely on the experience and insight of senior management to manage the exceptions that can dramatically affect the performance of the organization," said Andy Bailey, Vice President of Marketing, Attunity. "It seemed a natural fit to partner with SDG Group as its customers are also within these key vertical markets and can benefit from a robust platform which provides further visibility into and control of an organization's crucial activities."
