AUSTIN, Texas -- (Business Wire)

Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW), a global leader in cloud-based and on-premises data innovation, today announced it was among the select companies that Forrester invited to participate in its February 27, 2012, Forrester Research, Inc. report, The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise ETL, Q1 2012. In this evaluation, Pervasive was cited as a Strong Performer in Enterprise ETL.

Forrester’s summary of the report states that, “to assess the state of the enterprise ETL market and see how the vendors stack up against each other, Forrester evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of top enterprise ETL vendors.” In the report, Forrester notes, “Although ETL is still used extensively to support traditional scheduled batch data feeds into [data warehouse] and [business intelligence] environments, the scope of ETL has evolved over the past five years to support new and emerging data management initiatives, including data virtualization, cloud integration, big data, real-time data warehousing, data migration and application retirement, and master data management.” According to the report, “Forrester expects the ETL market to grow significantly in the coming years, especially as data volumes continue to grow and organizations start to leverage Hadoop and the cloud. Top vendors, such as the ones evaluated in this enterprise ETL Wave, will continue to extend their ETL products to deliver innovative solutions.”

Pervasive Software’s ETL product line includes Pervasive Data Integrator™ and the Pervasive Data Quality Suite™, with a single platform that supports development and deployment for any combination of cloud-based or on-premises integration. For 29 years, Pervasive Data Integrator has provided cost-effective extraction, transformation and flow of nearly any kind of data between sources throughout the organization – on a continuous, event-driven or scheduled basis in any usage scenario that might be needed. In addition, the unique Pervasive Data Quality Suite process utilizes Pervasive products and partner content libraries to work together as a part of the integration process to rid organizations of dirty data and achieve a 360 degree view of customer data – making it a perfect fit for ETL and other data integration projects.

“As one of few pure-play integration companies, Pervasive invests aggressively in research and development to provide our customers and partners with the most innovative, reliable and scalable integration solutions,” said Lance Speck, general manager of Pervasive Integration Products. “We are proud of our Strong Performer rating in the Forrester Wave and remain deeply committed to helping our customers efficiently and cost-effectively extract maximum business value from their data.”
