Arpege, one of the three "IT Communities" of the Caisse d’Epargne Group, a leading French bank, has chosen Sunopsis, a technology innovator in the data and application integration market, for loading its Enterprise Data Warehouse based on the Teradata Enterprise Warehouse platform.

The Caisse d’Epargne Group's IT system is based on three "IT communities": SIRIS, RSI and Arpege. Arpege manages 27 million accounts, which represent 900 million monthly transactions.

The unique "E-LT" architecture of Sunopsis Data Conductor leverages the power of the RDBMS already deployed in the enterprise to execute the data transformation processes. Enabled by Sunopsis Data Conductor, the Caisse d’Epargne's Arpege IT Community will use its Teradata Enterprise Warehouse platform for high performance processing of very large data volumes.

Yves de Montcheuil, Director of Product Marketing for Sunopsis, comments, "With the exponential growth of volumes of data required by enterprises to sustain their competitive edge, Sunopsis Data Conductor is increasingly being used for high performance processing. Arpege joins a growing number of Sunopsis customers, made up of innovative companies, which seek ground-breaking technologies to meet their needs for complex and high performance data loading and transformation."
