Viador and Accela Announce OEM Agreement of Viador BI-Portal for Secure Information Delivery

Sunnyvale, Calif., October 06, 2003. Viador Inc.™, the leader in Business Intelligence Portal Technology, and Accela, the leading provider of government enterprise management solutions, today announced an OEM agreement for Accela to use Viador’s Business Intelligence Portal technology as a core Business Intelligence foundation for Accela’s suite of Government Enterprise Management solutions.

Government agencies are under increasing pressure to provide more services and information at less cost.  Viador BI-Portal technology will provide users of Accela systems – including government employees, companies doing business with the government, and citizens – easier and highly secure access to a wide range of governmental information.  This ultimately increases the safety, responsiveness, effectiveness, and efficiency of the government agencies supplying these services.

“We have over 500 government agencies in the U.S., as well as in Canada and Puerto Rico, using Accela solutions for permitting, licensing, planning, code enforcement, public works, emergency preparedness, and more.  These agencies are responsible for the efficient delivery of services, and in some cases, for life-saving information,” said Robert Lee, CEO of Accela.  “We chose the Viador BI-Portal because we needed an open, integrated, secure system to deliver reports and related information to a broad range of government constituents.  We evaluated several alternatives, and found that Viador provides the best technology to meet these requirements.”

“We are proud that Accela selected the Viador BI-Portal to integrate into their solutions to streamline and improve governmental activity,” said Stan Wang, CEO of Viador.  “Accela products and services are especially useful in this time where tighter government budgets require more cost-effective systems.  They demonstrate how Viador BI-Portal technology provides easy, secure information access for both expert and novice system users.”
