Retail solution provider for Microsoft Dynamics AX and NAV LS Retail has announced that it has entered into an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) partnership with data warehousing and ETL (extract, transform, and load) provider timeXtender.

As part of the deal, LS Retail will embed timeXtender technology into its business intelligence offering.

The solution will give LS Retail clients fast and affordable business intelligence based on a solid data platform, according to the companies. The easily-deployed solution can be customized to meet the needs of each merchant. The first version that includes this embedded solution is set to ship in the second quarter of 2012.

"By partnering with timeXtender, we can offer clients running LS Retail NAV a solution that enables them to analyze not only data from LS Retail but also data from other sources to easily identify risks and opportunities," said Magnus Norddahl, CEO of LS Retail, in a statement.

Norddahl said the solution will enable retailers to have deep insights into customer behavior to help them provide better customer service.

Heine Krog Iversen, CEO of timeXtender, said the partnership further strengthens timeXtender's position as the industry-leader for data warehousing and ETL technology in the Dynamics market.

"And our agile data warehousing methodology is really proving its business value in the BI industry," he said.
