London, UK—November 8, 2011—Basis Technologies International (BTI), a leader in add-on solutions that optimize SAP, has announced a strategic partnership with UC4, the world’s largest, independent IT automation software company.  The partnership will deliver innovative solutions for SAP customers, including the integration of BTI’s Mass Data Runtime—a solution which delivers dramatic data processing improvements and is certified as powered by the SAP NetWeaver® technology platform —with the powerful capabilities of UC4’s ONE Automation platform. The unique combination of UC4 IT Process Automation and Mass Data Runtime significantly accelerates and orchestrates business processes, applications and infrastructure.

The partnership will focus on providing SAP customers a unique platform for automating data processing tasks, whilst drastically reducing their run times using distributed processing techniques.  By blending Mass Data Runtime’s processing strengths with UC4’s sophisticated automation capabilities, customers will be able to:

• Automate and accelerate a wide variety of data processing tasks, including: SAP programs and interfaces; batch runs; data migrations; file transfers; data extractions; archiving; and data warehousing activities
• Cut through large data volumes to complete jobs in a fraction of time—minimizing the risk of big data sets stalling business processes and programs
• Instantly distribute information to business users as soon as it becomes available—improving the accuracy and speed of decision making

• Automate and seamlessly coordinate the parallel running of key business processes and programs, such as billing runs
• Remove the overhead of repeatedly re-starting reporting processes and use reporting results for further automation activities

The integration of MDR and ONE Automation brings together two leading solutions:
