San Mateo, California (PRWEB) November 5, 2007 -- Greenplum (http://www.greenplum.com), a leading provider of database software (http://www.greenplum.com/index.php?page=greenplum-database) for business intelligence, today announced that its customer Frontier Airlines has been awarded DM Review's Innovative Solution Award in the category of Data Warehousing. DM Review's Innovative Solution Award was created to recognize solutions that are groundbreaking and provide quantifiable true business value.

"This award was created to highlight elite companies who creatively implement technology solutions and the vendors who facilitate that success. Frontier Airlines and Greenplum demonstrated a level of technological sophistication and innovation that moved them to a higher competitive level," said Jim Ericson, DM Review Editorial Director.

Frontier Airlines is the second-largest jet service carrier at Denver International Airport, offering routes linking its Denver hub to 61 destinations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

The deployment is part of the airline's commitment to using advanced technology to deliver world-class customer service at the lowest prices.

"Greenplum is working with leading-edge companies such as Frontier Airlines to enable a new class of applications that weren't possible before. The DM Review Innovative Solution Award for our work with Frontier is strong validation of Greenplum's high-performance database technology and our open approach," said Bill Cook, chief executive officer of Greenplum.
