MONTREAL, August 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- SAND/DNA aCRM solution offers simplified administration, easy access
and exceptional performance for highly compressed data

SAND Technology Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SNDTF), an international
provider of intelligent enterprise information management software, today
announced that United Internet Media AG, Germany's leading marketer of
digital media and marketer of its own WEB.DE, GMX, 1&1 and Smart-Shopping.de
portals, has chosen SAND/DNA aCRM from SAND Technology as an efficient and
cost-effective solution for managing its constantly growing volumes of data.
The company cited the solution's speed and data throughput level, as well as
its ETL performance, ability to perform complex analysis and low level of
consulting requirements as the primary reasons for its decision.

SAND/DNA aCRM is built on SAND's core products, SAND/DNA Access and
SAND/DNA Analytics. United Internet Media AG's Media Factory division,
responsible for the technical execution of the company's portal offerings,
currently stores around 1.5 terabytes of data "online" inside the SAND/DNA
Analytics product. According to Christian Mumm, head of the United Internet
Media AG's Media Factory Business Division, "That sounds like a lot, but we
calculated that we would have had to cope with approximately 4 to 5 terabytes
of data had we decided to run a standard relational data warehouse.
Obviously, this would have called for several additional employees and more
sophisticated hardware." The system will likely be expanded to include at
least another terabyte of information over the next 12 months. Alongside this
online analytic component, the SAND/DNA Access nearline product provides
compression of up to more than 90 percent for infrequently used data, while
still keeping this data easily available for use in analysis.

SAND/DNA Analytics makes it possible for Media Factory to develop new
reporting capabilities that were not previously available to the company.
"Today, we are able to handle our high level of data traffic in an extremely
efficient and cost-effective manner with the product suite from SAND," Mumm
continued. "At the same time, SAND/DNA's simple administration requirements
and high degree of flexibility allow us to adapt our analyses extremely
quickly in response to changes in operating conditions," he concluded.

"We are pleased to welcome United Internet Media as yet another SAND
customer from the German telecommunications industry," commented Christian
Niemann, Director of BI/CRM at SAND Technology Deutschland, adding, "This
underscores our ability to provide users with efficient access to large
volumes of granular data with very little administrative effort, along with
outstanding performance for all types of analytics."
