Correlation Database Software Company illuminate Solutions Acquires Synera Systems Intellectual Property and Assets

Now-defunct software company pioneered the development of exploration database technology.

BARCELONA, SPAIN, 24 June 2007—illuminate Solutions (http://www.i-lluminate.com), pioneer of correlation database management technology for automatically designing and building data warehouses and data marts, today announced that the company has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property and assets of Synera Systems, a software company no longer in business.

"This is an important step in securing legal rights to intellectual property that can be used as some of the underpinnings of illuminate’s correlation database engine and data access tool suite," stated Anton Torrents, illuminate's chief executive officer.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed during the 2nd quarter of illuminate Solutions’ 2007 fiscal year, which began on 1 January 2007.

About illuminate Solutions, S.L.
illuminate Solutions, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, is the pioneer of the correlation DBMS (CDBMS) for building data-driven data warehouses. The CDBMS is a radical departure from how information management infrastructures are built and accessed. By automatically creating a data-generated schema during the raw data loading process, the need for pre-design is virtually eliminated. A CDBMS data warehouse is a fraction of the size of others due to its unique value-based storage™ (VBS) model, which indexes 100 percent of the raw data on-the-fly during the loading process and stores each unique data value only once. A CDBMS eliminates the trade-off between performance and flexibility that so often frustrates IT and business users alike, and dramatically lowers the time/cost of data warehouse deployment and management.

illiminate’s products include iLuminate, its CDBMS engine, and a full tool suite for accessing the data warehouse: iCorrelate, for exploration; and iAnalyze, for light analytics, dashboards and geographic mapping. The company also offers the iLuminate SDK to qualified customers free of charge.

illuminate sells its products exclusively through IT consulting services firms and management consulting companies in the Americas. In Europe, its products are sold direct and through a partner network. European customers include BBVA, Bon Preu Group, ZURICH, infojobs and RORI among others.
