Embedded Data Access
Embedded Data Access and Integration Layer for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs)
An increasing number of Software Vendors are considering partnering or embedding third party ETL/data integration components into their architecture rather than building from scratch and trying to keep pace with ever changing requirements; that way they seek to reduce software development costs and to meet challenging deadlines and resource constraints.
Data integration and ETL provision for the software vendor is often time-consuming and resource intensive, since there is the need of coping with:
- Historical systems, which often lack up-to-date documentation
- Finding specialist skill sets
- Discrepancies between what should be identical systems due to lack of proper documentation and transparency.
- Rapid proof of concept/prototyping required
- Maintaining transparency across disciplines and the life of the project, which may include disparate and/or diverse project team members
- Completing time-consuming and sometimes frustrating testing/re-work and feedback
TM is a comprehensive, robust and mature toolset which helps ISVs accelerate the migration and/or consolidation of data. Organizations benefit from increased effectiveness, improved data quality and consistency, reduced maintenance costs and enhanced transparency. Its key capabilities are:
- Flawless accessing and reviewing of virtually any historical system’s meta-data
- Built-in features for data examination and ability to re-use those findings in the transformation process
- Built-in data cleansing and validation
- Complete regression test suites to compare and maintain the solution
- Effective team development environment with test and debugging tools, automated documentation, versioning and full audit trail.
