SAND Technology Inc. (OTCBB: SNDTF.OB), provider of the world's most advanced column store database, today announced that Uniserv GmbH, the largest specialized supplier of data quality solutions in Europe, have forged an OEM partnership. Uniserv is now integrating SAND's progressive, column-oriented analytic database technology into its data management products. Initially Uniserv is incorporating the technology into Data Quality Explorer, Uniserv's new product for data profiling. With DQ Explorer customers search data interactively and trace problems or discover faulty data reliably and completely.

"Uniserv is recognized by Gartner as one of the leaders in their space," said Mike Pilcher, President and COO of SAND. "We are proud to be a part of their solution and believe this is the beginning of a partnership which will delight our customers and bring our organizations much closer together."

"Thanks to SAND, our customers can perform the most complex data analysis interactively in the shortest possible time - even with databases which contain several million datasets," says Wilfried Eickholz, Product Management Manager at Uniserv. "With the high performing DQ Explorer we have now implemented a further important component for Uniserv's comprehensive data management concept, the Data Quality Service Hub."

SAND's database technology drives complex analytics on Big Data delivering insight from information. SAND uses innovative approaches to data storage to extract the value from Big Data.

"Thanks to the integration of the column-oriented database technology into our Data Quality Explorer, we enable our users to interactively search the content and quality of even the largest databases flexibly and dynamically," said Eickholz, describing the benefit of this technology for data profiling. "This lets them realistically plan and successfully implement their projects in the areas of data migration, data integration and data synchronization."
