Pioneer of Enterprise Data Mashups Expands North American Operations and Receives “Cool Vendor” Status for its Innovative Approach to Integrating
Structured and Unstructured Data

Web 2.0 Conference (Booth # 421) San Francisco, CA, April 16, 2007. Denodo Technologies, Inc., (www.denodo.com) the recognized innovator of Enterprise Data Mashups software, today announced the expansion of its North American operations and its ranking as a “Cool Vendor” in the “Cool Vendors in Data Management and Integration” report published by Gartner, Inc.

Conducting business from Spain since 1999, Denodo Technologies has already established a strong European customer base that consists of leading telecommunications, financial services, government, and B2B entities. Customers rely upon Denodo's Enterprise Data Mashups to derive more value from their information assets. By integrating all relevant data sources from across the enterprise and the Web, organizations are able to create new business applications based on fresher and more complete data feeds. What is different about the Denodo approach is its ability to merge data across any digital source, whether it be structured (databases, applications and SML), unstructured (documents, static HTML and e-mail) or semi-structured (Web content).

The company's North American expansion includes the addition of technical and professional services staff along with the relocation of the company's CEO and founder, Angel Viña, to the North American headquarters located in Palo Alto, California. This expansion will enable Denodo to better serve its growing North American customer base and the increased global market demand for Denodo's technology.

According to Gartner's “Cool Vendors in Data Management and Integration” report, "Data integration tools are evolving toward the unification of structured and unstructured data, and will begin to include semantic capabilities. Gartner recommends companies "Investigate data integration technologies that can unify both structured and unstructured data, and resolve semantic discrepancies across data silos." Gartner defines a “Cool Vendor” as a company that offers technologies or solutions that are innovative, impactful, and intriguing.

“Denodo is at the forefront of the revolution in data integration by bridging the gap between enterprise data and Web 2.0. Organizations that learn to create more intelligent business applications by leveraging the huge amounts of data accessible through the Web and integrating it with their enterprise data, will be the leaders of the future," said Viña. “The global rise in demand for our technology, coupled with Gartner's “Cool Vendor” designation, makes this a perfect time for us to accelerate our business operations in North America. Companies looking to derive more value from their diverse data sources will want to seriously consider leveraging Denodo's Enterprise Data Mashups approach.”
