than one End User, one or more value-added Solution in conjunction with the
software functionality granted to ADVENT by SAGENT. ADVENT must at a minimum
license its Application with each Software copy it distributes.
(b) The relationship between the parties shall be that of ADVENT
licensing and embedding Sagent's software solution as outlined in Exhibit B, and
purchasing services as an independent contractor from SAGENT and reselling and
sublicensing to End Users. ADVENT and its employees are not agents or
representatives of SAGENT for any purpose and have no power or authority to
represent, act for, bind or commit SAGENT.
3. ADVENT'S RIGHTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND OBLIGATIONS
(a) SAGENT hereby grants and ADVENT hereby accepts the non-exclusive,
nontransferable royalty-bearing right to license ("License") a subset of
SAGENT's software capabilities as outlined in Exhibit A in conjunction with
ADVENT's Product offering, in accordance with the User Documentation and this
Agreement: (i) to internally use and develop its Application and a Solution;
(ii) to distribute as part of an embedded offering SAGENT's Software Copies for
use solely as part of a Solution; and (iii) to use in unaltered form the SAGENT
trademarks, service marks or marketing logos (the "SAGENT Trademarks") solely to
promote the Products, Applications or Solutions, provided ADVENT obtains
SAGENT's prior written approval for each new usage. SAGENT retains all title to
and, except as unambiguously licensed herein, all rights, including all
intellectual property rights to the Products, and all copies and derivative
works thereof (by whomever produced). If ADVENT desires to use the Products, or
desires to distribute Product outlined in the initial Exhibit A, ADVENT shall
execute additional Exhibit A's and pay SAGENT the requisite license fees from
the Price List for such licenses.
(b) ADVENT shall not (i) distribute the Software Copies on a stand
alone basis (ii) distribute the Software Copies in any way except as part of a
Solution (iii) modify or alter the object code of the Products or Software
Copies in any way (iv) use SAGENT trademark or trade name in a way that implies
ADVENT is an agency or branch of SAGENT's, or (v) distribute, provide, lease,
lend, use or allow others to use the Product or Software Copies to or for the
benefit of any third parties who are or may be competitors of SAGENT.
-2-

(c) ADVENT agrees not to resell, distribute or sublicense Sagent's
Software Copies, Applications or Solutions to customers other than End Users,
except where such customers are approved in writing in advance by SAGENT, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
(d) ADVENT, within a reasonable time period, and after a Solution is
made available by ADVENT, shall actively market the Solution consistent with
ADVENT's marketing goals and market conditions.
(e) ADVENT may make one (1) back-up copy of Products used internally
to develop Applications, Solutions or Demonstrations.
(f) ADVENT shall ensure that the End User Agreement provided to
Advent's users is no less restrictive than Sagent's shrink wrap license
agreement for each copy of the Solution that has embedded Sagent's Software
Copies distributed by ADVENT. In addition, ADVENT shall perform any other
actions reasonably necessary to assure adequate protection of SAGENT's interests
in its intellectual property rights contained in the Product(s) and Software
Copies. In all jurisdictions where SAGENT's End User Agreement must be in
writing and signed by the End User in order to be effective, the Software Copies
may not be distributed unless ADVENT's End User signs a written license
agreement which is no less restrictive than the End User Agreement. SAGENT does
not undertake to inform ADVENT of the jurisdictions where a signed, written
software license is necessary.
(g) The Product, Software Copies and all related documentation are
protected under copyright and trade secret laws and contain proprietary
information of SAGENT and its licensors. ADVENT shall abide by the terms of any
proprietary notices or markings, and shall use the documentation and the
Software Copies only for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, and shall
not disclose to others or reproduce the Product (except as specifically
permitted under this Agreement), unless specifically authorized by SAGENT, and
shall be liable for all loss or damage to SAGENT from any failure to so abide or
from any unauthorized disclosure by ADVENT, its agents or End Users of the
Product, Software Copies, or related documentation. ADVENT shall not translate
any portion of the Software Copies or associated documentation into any other
format or language without the prior written consent of SAGENT. In the event
such translation is made by ADVENT, ADVENT shall grant to SAGENT all right,
title and interest in any such translation or, if applicable, an exclusive,
royalty free license to exploit any copyright or other intellectual property
rights created by such translation.
(h) ADVENT shall promptly notify SAGENT of any actual or suspected
unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information received from
SAGENT, and shall provide reasonable assistance to SAGENT (at SAGENT's expense)
in the investigation and prosecution of unauthorized uses or disclosure.
(i) Except as specifically permitted by this Agreement, ADVENT shall
not directly or indirectly (i) use any Confidential Information of SAGENT to
create any computer software program or user documentation which is
substantially similar to any Product; (ii) reverse engineer, disassemble or
decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for, any Product;
(iii) encumber, timeshare, rent or lease the rights granted by this Agreement;
(iv) copy, manufacture, adapt, create derivative works of, translate, localize,
port or otherwise modify any Products or other SAGENT Confidential Information
or allow any agent or End User of ADVENT to engage in similar conduct.
(j) ADVENT does not have, and shall not claim that it has, any right
in or to any of the Products, Software Copies, or the Confidential Information
received from SAGENT other than as specifically granted by this Agreement.
-3-
4
(k) Any and all obligations of SAGENT to provide the Products, as well
as any technical assistance, will be subject in all respects to such United
States laws and regulations as will from time to time govern the license and
deliver of technology and products abroad by persons subject to the jurisdiction
of the United States, including the Export Administration Act of 1979, as
amended, any successor legislation, and the Export Administration Regulations
issued by the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Export Administration. ADVENT
warrants that it will not export or re-export the Product, Software Copies, any
Confidential Information or a Solution, or technical data related thereto,
except in conformity with such laws and regulations. ADVENT agrees that unless
prior written authorization is obtained from the Bureau of Export Administration
or the Export Administration Regulations explicitly permit the re-export without
such written authorization, it will not export, re-export, or transship,
directly or indirectly, the Product, Software Copies, any Confidential
Information or a Solution to country groups S or Z (as defined in the export
Administration Regulations), or to any other country as to which the U.S.
Government has placed an embargo against the shipment of products which is in
effect during the term of this Agreement.
If at any time SAGENT determines in its sole discretion that the laws of any
country are or become insufficient to protect SAGENT's intellectual or
proprietary rights in the Products, SAGENT reserves the right to restrict or
terminate ADVENT's and its Resellers' rights to use Products, Software Copies or
distribute Software Copies or Confidential Information in that country. ADVENT
shall take all actions reasonable necessary to enforce this restriction to
protect SAGENT's rights.
(l) This provision applies to all Products, and Software Copies
acquired directly or indirectly by or on behalf of the United States Government.
The Product and Software Copies are commercial products, licensed on the open
market at market prices, and were developed entirely at private expense and
without the use of any U.S. Government funds. If the Product or Software Copies
are supplied to the Department of Defense, the U.S. Government acquires only the
license rights customarily provided to the public and specified in this
Agreement. If the Product or Software Copies are supplied to any unit or agency
of the U.S. Government other than the Department of Defense, the license to the
U.S. Government is granted only with restricted rights. Use, duplication, or
disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to the restrictions set forth in
subparagraph (c) of the Commercial Computer Software Restricted Rights clause of
FAR 52.227-19.
(m) During the term of this Agreement, ADVENT shall have the right to
use the Sagent Trademarks in accordance with Section 3(a), provided that upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice, SAGENT may substitute alternative marks
for any or all of the Sagent Trademarks. All representations of Sagent
Trademarks that ADVENT intends to use shall first be submitted to SAGENT for
approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of design, color and other
details, or shall be exact copies of those used by SAGENT. In addition, ADVENT
shall fully comply with all reasonable guidelines, if any, communicated by
SAGENT concerning the use of SAGENT Trademarks.
ADVENT will not alter or remove any of the SAGENT Trademarks
applied to the Software, Products or User Documentation by SAGENT. Except for
the authorization set forth in this Section 3(m) , nothing herein grants or will
be deemed to grant to ADVENT any right, title or interest in SAGENT Trademarks.
All uses of the SAGENT Trademarks will inure solely to SAGENT, and ADVENT shall
obtain no rights with respect to any of these SAGENT Trademarks, other than the
right to distribute the Software Copies as set forth herein, and ADVENT
irrevocably assigns to SAGENT all such right, title and interest, if any, in any
SAGENT Trademarks. At no time during the term of this Agreement will ADVENT
challenge or assist others in challenging the SAGENT Trademarks or the
registration thereof, or attempt to register any trademarks, marks or trade
names confusingly similar to those of SAGENT. Upon termination of this
Agreement, ADVENT shall immediately cease to use any and all of the SAGENT
Trademarks.

SAGENT will act, at minimum, in accordance with generally accepted standards for
responsiveness to another software company. Referred problems will be
acknowledged within 1 business day. SAGENT will use its best efforts to correct
or resolve Severity Level 1 issues within 1 business day. SAGENT will use
commercially reasonable efforts to respond to serious and lower level problems
as follows: Severity Level 2 (serious) issues will be corrected or resolved
within three business days, and lower level (moderate or minimal) issues will be
corrected, resolved, or answered within ten business days, or, if agreed upon,
in the next release first.
Following termination or expiration of the Agreement, ADVENT will have the right
to continue to receive Support from SAGENT provided that maintenance is
continued to be paid.
Unless otherwise agreed in a specific instance, SAGENT has no obligation to
provide support to ADVENT's customers or Distributors.

support, skilled instruction and assistance to End Users using the Solution(s).
In any event, ADVENT must provide all support for its Application(s).

(b) Both SAGENT and ADVENT shall mutually hold its officers,
directors, agents and employees harmless from damages awarded to a third party
by a final appealed court judgment on account of such third party's claim of
infringement by the Product of any U.S. patent issued as of the date of the
first copy of the applicable Product, Software Copies, or any copyright,
trademark or trade secret, provided SAGENT is promptly notified of any and all
threats, claims and proceedings related thereto and given reasonable assistance
and the opportunity to assume sole control over the defense and all negotiations
for a settlement or compromise; SAGENT will not be responsible for any
settlement it does not approve in writing. THE FOREGOING IS IN LIEU OF ANY
WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT, WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED. The foregoing
obligation of SAGENT does not apply with respect to Product or portions or
components thereof (i) not supplied by SAGENT, (ii) made in whole or in part in
accordance to ADVENT specifications, (iii) which are modified after shipment by
ADVENT, if the alleged infringement relates to such modification, (iv) combined
with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement
relates to such combination, (v) where ADVENT continues allegedly infringing
activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications
that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (vi) where ADVENT's use of
the Software is incident to an infringement not resulting primarily from the
Product or is not strictly in accordance with the License.
(c) ADVENT's sole remedy for SAGENT's breach of section 7(a)(ii) is
outlined under Sagent's Support policy in Exhibit B. SAGENT shall, in its sole
discretion and at its option, provide modifications to keep the Software in
substantial conformance with the related User Documentation, replace the
Products, or refund the license fees paid to SAGENT for the defective Products.
(d) ADVENT and SAGENT shall, at their own expense, indemnify, defend,

EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT FOR ITS OBLIGATIONS
UNDER SECTION 7(b) ABOVE, SAGENT'S LIABILITY TO ADVENT OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR A
CLAIM OF ANY KIND RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PRODUCT, WHETHER FOR BREACH
OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT
EXCEED THE AGGREGATE OF FEES PAID TO SAGENT FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE INVOLVED

more than the amount reported by ADVENT, ADVENT shall pay the cost of the audit
to SAGENT. Any shortfall uncovered as a result of an audit as well as the cost
of the audit, if required by the preceding sentence, shall be paid by ADVENT to
SAGENT within 30 days of the date SAGENT notifies ADVENT that an amount is due.
(e) ADVENT shall pay any amounts owed to SAGENT on the first day of

1. SAGENT DATA MART SERVER
THE SAGENT DATA MART SOLUTION
The SagentO Data Mart Solution is the first fully integrated family of products
for populating, managing, and accessing Windows NT-based data marts. Sagent's
unique Data Flow Technology lets users process data beyond SQL to create more
powerful sets of information than ever before. It includes the Sagent Data Mart
Server, Sagent Admin, Sagent Design StudioO, Sagent Information StudioO and
Sagent WebLink.
SAGENT DATA MART SERVER
The Sagent Data Mart Server is an application server that provides a set of
services "wrapped around" a Windows NT-based data mart stored in a
relational database such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle or Sybase. The
Sagent Data Mart Server features a multi-threaded, agent-based architecture
and an open, RDBMS-based repository.
MULTI-THREADED, AGENT-BASED ARCHITECTURE FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
ACCESS
Explicitly designed for the 32-bit, multi-threaded architecture of the
Windows NT operating system, the Sagent Data Mart Server employs
sophisticated software agents that enable high-performance and intuitive
information access. Sagent agents can perform multiple tasks simultaneously
and in the background, thereby allowing users to submit several requests at
once, or to work on other tasks while the Sagent Data Mart Server executes
their requests.
DATA FLOW PLAN PROCESSING
The Data Mart Server runs all Data Flow Plans created by Sagent Design
Studio and Sagent Information Studio. This application server takes full
advantage of multi-threading to run multiple data processing steps at one
time, completing tasks faster. Sagent's server also improves performance by
processing data on the server, avoiding any issues of network bandwidth
between the client and the server.
RESULTS SPLICING
Often the fastest way to answer a business question is to run multiple SQL
statements in parallel rather than submitting one large, complex SQL
statement. The Sagent Data Mart Server can run multiple, simple SQL
statements to get information from a data mart and then "splice" the
results together before sending them to the desktop. This results in vastly
improved query performance.
AGGREGATE NAVIGATION
Instead of always calculating aggregates on the fly, the Sagent Data Mart
Server can access pre-aggregated information in the data mart to answer
users' requests in the fastest way possible. Database administrators can
establish hierarchies of pre-aggregated values for the Data Mart Server to
use. Sagent also calculates aggregates on the fly, providing many benefits
of both multi dimensional and relational databases.
GROUP CACHING
Sagent caches in memory the result sets of end users' requests for
information. This cache can be shared within a workgroup, enabling users to
retrieve commonly accessed information virtually instantaneously. For
example, if one user requests the weekly sales data from the Sagent Data
Mart Server, the next user in that workgroup to request the same sales data
can receive the results back almost instantly, without having to pay the
price of re-executing the request.
INTEGRATION WITH NT SCHEDULING SERVICE
Sagent users can schedule both data mart population plans as well as end
user plans. These are run by the Sagent Server through the Windows NT
scheduling service.
CENTRALIZED, RDBMS-BASED REPOSITORY FOR EASY ADMINISTRATION
The Sagent Data Mart Server leverages an integrated repository to provide
central storage of all items in the Sagent environment, including:
o Metadata ("BaseViews" and "MetaViews")
o Requests for information ("Plans")
o Result sets ("Snaps")
o Data transforms
o Security information
The Sagent Repository is stored completely in relational database tables.
Users can easily share information stored in this central location. This
lets Sagent administrators manage its contents without having to learn a
proprietary file structure. Also, users can easily share information stored
in this central location. In addition, the Sagent Repository's relational
structure enables the easy exchange of metadata with other products.

2. SAGENT WEBLINK
THE SAGENT DATA MART SOLUTION
The SagentO Data Mart Solution is the first fully integrated family of
products for populating, managing, and accessing Windows NT-based data
marts. Sagent's unique Data Flow Technology lets users process data beyond
SQL to create more powerful sets of information than ever before. It
includes the Sagent Data Mart Server, Sagent Admin, Sagent Design StudioO,
Sagent Information StudioO and Sagent WebLink.
SAGENT WEBLINK
Sagent WebLink is a server-based information access tool that gives users
of Web browsers access to items developed within the Sagent Data Mart
Solution. It provides out-of-the-box functionality with a pre-built
Intranet access page. Use this page to access information in the Sagent
Data Mart, customize it, or create your own custom interface quickly and
easily with HTML.
EASY DISTRIBUTION MECHANISM
Sagent WebLink enables the easy distribution of Sagent components ("Plans"
and "Snaps") to users of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer
and Netscape Navigator. Sagent WebLink automatically converts a result set
into an HTML table or a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
The Sagent WebLink pages provide a user interface in HTML that is easy to
get up and running. The Sagent WebLink pages are designed using frames for
simple navigation to different types of information, such as lists of Plans
or Snaps. After specific Plan results display, a click on another hypertext
link or a different button displays the next item. When users click on a
hypertext link for a Plan, Sagent WebLink receives the request and the Plan
is executed to retrieve the latest results from the database. Current
results are obtained each time a request is made.
WORKS WITH ANY BROWSER ON ANY PLATFORM
Sagent WebLink provides platform-independent access to information in a
customizable and secure environment. Just like viewing any Web site, users
access information through their Web browsers from any location and on any
platform that supports Internet browsers.

3. SAGENT ADMIN
THE SAGENT DATA MART SOLUTION
The Sagent Data Mart Solution is the first fully integrated family of products
for populating, managing, and accessing Windows NT-based data marts. Sagent's
unique Data Flow Technology lets users process data beyond SQL to create more
powerful sets of information than ever before. It includes the Sagent Data Mart
Server, Sagent Admin, Sagent Design Studio, Sagent Information Studio and Sagent
WebLink.
SAGENT ADMIN
Sagent Admin delivers comprehensive management and administration capabilities
for Sagent Data Marts. It provides a centralized mechanism to manage a
distributed network of Sagent Data Marts, and a flexible security model to
administer Sagent users.
CENTRALIZED CONTROL OF DISTRIBUTED DATA MARTS
The Sagent Data Mart Solution uses an RDBMS-based repository to store all data
mart components, including meta data (BaseViews and MetaViews), information
requests called Plans, result sets called Snaps, and data transforms. Sagent
Admin provides extensive facilities to manage all Sagent repositories and their
components from one intuitive tree-control interface. By providing a central
point of control for a distributed network of data marts, Sagent Admin combines
the centralized control of a data warehouse with the performance gains of data
marts.
Sagent Admin lets you view and edit many of the properties of each item in the
Sagent Repository to determine ownership of Plans and Snaps, creation dates,
items that are shared among users, the presence of Data Flow Transforms and
other items stored in a repository.
You can easily monitor and control the activity of Sagent Agents on Data Mart
Systems. Sagent Admin displays the resources used and the current activity of
each agent, as well as provides control to stop an agent in progress. Sagent
also provides other administration features such as cache control for better
performance and query governing.
FLEXIBLE USER SECURITY
Sagent Admin provides a flexible model for controlling user security. Security
can be applied to data and to specific Sagent functionality. Control is
maintained over data access and what features a user can and cannot access on
their desktop.
USERS, GROUPS, ROLES AND PERMISSIONS
Sagent Admin lets you easily create users, groups, roles and permissions
within the Sagent environment. Sagent users are defined and then placed
within a group. There are three types of Sagent groups:
o Security Groups--users with permission to access the same data or
MetaViews.
o Cache Groups--users who, for improved system performance, share
commonly accessed results from requests from requests made by members
of their workgroup, that are cached on the Data Mart Server.
o Distribution Groups--users who can share information Plans and Snaps,
through Sagent's Publish and Subscribe feature.
Sagent Admin allows for the creation of Permissions which define what
database information a user can access. Control over what data each user
can see is maintained by giving a Security Group permission to access a
pre-defined set of Meta Views. Security Groups can use a "trusted" security
scheme where every Sagent user in a group uses a single database
connection, or a mapped scheme where each user has their own database
connection.
PRIVILEGES
Sagent users are also defined by Roles. Roles are pre-defined sets of
privileges which give users the right to perform certain functions within
the Sagent environment. Most functions provided by the Sagent Data Mart
Solution are associated with a privilege. For example, an end user role may
be defined without the privilege to save a Snap of the results of a plan or
to share information with other users. A power user role, on the other
hand, may have the privileges to create a Snap of information and to
Publish their Snap to others for their use.

4. SAGENT DESIGN STUDIO(TM)
THE SAGENT DATA MART SOLUTION
The SagentO Data Mart Solution is the first fully integrated family of products
for populating, managing, and accessing Windows NT-based data marts. Sagent's
unique Data Flow Technology lets users process data beyond SQL to create more
powerful sets of information than ever before. It includes the Sagent Data Mart
Server, Sagent Admin, Sagent Design StudioO, Sagent Information StudioO and
Sagent WebLink.
SAGENT DESIGN STUDIO
Sagent Design Studio provides an intuitive and graphical environment for data
mart population, metadata creation and the delivery of powerful information to
users.
FAST AND EASY DATA MART POPULATION
Scheduled Population
Sagent Design Studio lets you automate population of data marts from OLTP
systems and corporate data warehouses using Sagent's innovative Data Flow
Technology. A Data Flow Plan is a graphical representation of the process of
accessing, transforming and loading or displaying data. Plans can output
information to a user's desktop or batch load data into relational database
tables. Plans can be easily scheduled to populate and refresh your data mart.
Star Schema Population
Sagent supports any relational database schema you choose to use. For maximum
performance, transform routines designed for easily converting data from an OLTP
database into a star schema are provided for you. Transforms include:
o Time Generation for Dimension Tables
o Key Generation for Dimension Tables
o Key Lookup for Fact Tables
o Time Lookup for Fact Tables
Custom Data Transformation
Sagent has integrated Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications () and Microsoft
Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VB Script) as its scripting languages so you can
easily develop custom Transforms. Or use your favorite programming tool such as
Visual Basic or C++ to customize a Sagent Data Mart that meets your specific
needs. Sagent also ships with many pre-built Transforms that you can simply drag
and drop into a plan. Or you can easily customize Sagent Transforms to meet your
requirements.
INTUITIVE METADATA CREATION
The complexities of relational database schemas are easily hidden from end users
by creating metadata layers including BaseViews, logical and graphical displays
of the physical structure of a database, and MetaViews, business representations
for end users to request information.
To create a BaseView, select tables, columns and joins of a database that will
be used to create the MetaViews. Join Groups can also be defined to resolve join
path conflicts.
MetaView components can include renamed columns and calculated columns such as
custom formulas and aggregates grouped by business categories. Multiple
MetaViews can be created from one BaseView to give groups different views of the
same data. MetaViews can span multiple data marts to provide end users with a
seamless view of more than one database.
DELIVERING POWERFUL INFORMATION TO USERS
Graphically specify actions that would be difficult, or impossible, to do using
SQL. For example, a Data Flow Plan can access data from one or more data marts
using SQL. Then a Sagent standard, or custom transform, can be added to the Plan
to perform functions that SQL can't handle, such as ranking or running averages.
Results can be delivered to an end user's desktop, loaded into a Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet, or dispatched in an electronic mail message.

5. SAGENT INFORMATION STUDIO
THE SAGENT DATA MART SOLUTION
The SagentO Data Mart Solution is the fast fully integrated family of products
for populating, managing, and accessing Windows NT(R)-based data marts. Sagent's
unique Data Flow Technology lets users process data beyond SQL to create more
powerful sets of information than ever before. It includes the Sagent Data Mart,
Sagent Admin, Sagent Design StudioO, Sagent Information StudioO and Sagent
WebLink.
SAGENT INFORMATION STUDIO
Sagent Information Studio is a graphical tool that lets end users quickly
and easily access and share information stored in Sagent Data Marts.
INTUITIVE INFORMATION ACCESS
Sagent Information Studio provides an intuitive environment for end-users
to access information in Sagent data marts. Users build requests for
information by choosing from a list of business terms in the MetaView--a
business representation of the data stored in the database. They don't need
to understand where the information is stored or how it is related. And
they are shielded from the complexities of the database structure. The
Sagent server joins the information. A user can sort, filter, aggregate and
manipulate the result set, using live data.
Sagent Searching
Since a Data Mart can contain a large number of records or Parts, Sagent
Information Studio includes a search engine to help users easily find the
information they need. Key words can be associated with Plans and Snaps to
help organize and easily find items of interest.
Plans and Snaps
Sagent Information Studio provides two methods for users to save
information requests. First they can save the requests or "Plans" for
gathering the information. Plans can be executed at any time to get the
most recent data from the Data Mart. In addition, Plans can be shared with
other users and can be scheduled to run at specified times. A Sagent user
can also save the results as a Snap. Snaps are snapshots of data from a
particular point in time. Snaps deliver huge performance and productivity
gains. By saving the results of a request as a Snap, users can quickly
access data without having to run their request again. Snaps can also be
distributed to other users and can be used as a starting point for further
analysis. Since Snaps are stored in relational database tables, they can be
re-queried against--just as with any database table.
Tight Integration with Microsoft(R) Excel(TM)
Sagent Information Studio offers tight and unique integration with
Microsoft Excel. To place the results of an information request into a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, Information Studio users just click a button.
An Excel spreadsheet, with the results in place, automatically becomes a
part of the Information Studio workspace. This innovative capability
enables users to use both Information Studio and Excel from a single
environment.
POWERFUL INFORMATION ACCESS
Sagent Information Studio also features powerful utilities for delivering
critical information to end users in flexible and efficient new ways. Using
the Design Studio's Data Flow Plans, power users can specify actions that
would be difficult, if not impossible, to do with SQL. Administrators can
hide the Data Flow functionality from novice users to avoid confusion and
Information Studio users may simply run these plans. Or sophisticated users
can create Data Flow plans themselves. (See the Design Studio Data Sheet.)
WORKGROUP SHARING AND COLLABORATION
Sagent Information Studio makes it easy for groups of users to share
information and collaborate to reach better business decisions.
Publish and Subscribe
With Sagent Information Studio, users can publish Plans and Snaps for
others to easily access by subscribing. Once users have subscribed to an
item, Sagent Information Studio automatically notifies them of all changes
made to it by the publisher. This feature in particularly important for
enforcing standardization among users and ensuring that all members of a
workgroup have access to consistent and timely information.
Live Collaboration
Sagent Information Studio's live collaboration facilities let groups of
users work on Sagent components simultaneously. By "broadcasting" to other
users, a Sagent Information Studio user can allow others to view the
information that is in their workspace. This capability is ideal for
workgroup decision making and for help desk environments.

6. SAGENT ANALYSIS
Sagent Analysis is a business analysis tool that summarizes information by
multiple dimensions so that users can uncover opportunities, trends, and
weaknesses in their business. Results from information requests can be displayed
in Crosstabs or Charts so users can easily examine the same data from different
angles. Sagent Analysis makes business intelligence readily available to anyone
who wants to monitor their business operations.
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL VIEWS OF DATA
Sagent Analysis displays multi-dimensional representations of data so that users
can analyze data by dimensions such as sales by product, by region, and by
quarter. These data "FlashCubes(TM)" display as Crosstabs or two-dimensional and
three-dimensional rotating Charts. Crosstabs and Charts are multi-level and can
display any number of business dimensions and measures.
Sagent Analysis automatically creates a Crosstab or Chart from the result set of
an existing information access Plan or Snap shot of data. Users can also build a
Plan or Snap, working directly from an empty Crosstab or Chart. A single result
set can also be displayed in multiple Crosstabs and Charts so that users can
easily tab between the individual displays.
INTERACTIVE PIVOTING AND DRILLING
Sagent Analysis provides interactive pivoting and drilling capabilities in
Crosstabs and Charts. Users can pivot data in Crosstabs and Charts, or drill
into the data in any direction to discover new relationships between data sets.
Data can be drilled in an ad-hoc manner or through pre-defined hierarchies set
up by a data designer. An example of a hierarchy is Category, Brand and Product
Name in the Product dimension group. Users can also filter data in a Crosstab
with immediate results so that users view only the data combinations that they
want.
HIGH PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
A key aspect of performing complex analysis is the processing of aggregates,
which are summarized data such as totals or averages. Sagent balances the
processing of aggregates between the client and the server for improved
performance. Aggregates can be calculated on the server and then staged on the
desktop in a FlashCube. Because data is staged on the desktop, Crosstabs and
Charts immediately display results when users are drilling, pivoting or
filtering.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION WITH SAGENT PRODUCT LINE
Sagent Analysis plugs directly into Sagent Design Studio and Information Studio
so users can take advantage of all the benefits of the Sagent Data Mart Solution
without having to switch to another product. The features of Sagent Design
Studio and Information Studio, such as Publish and Subscribe, Scheduling,
creation of Snaps and Internet/Intranet distribution and Data Flow Plans, work
seamlessly with Sagent Analysis.
