The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM
03/28/2005
Informatica Corporation (Nasdaq: INFA), a provider of data integration software, today announced a development and OEM partnership with Composite Software, a provider of Enterprise Information Integration (EII) solutions. Under the agreement, Informatica will immediately offer the Composite Information Server as a complement to the Informatica PowerCenter data integration platform.
The companies said that from the PowerCenter platform, customers will now be able to directly access data "on the fly" from their transactional systems which, when combined with historical data already residing in their data warehouses, will provide them with a more comprehensive view of their business and help enable a faster response to changing market conditions.
Informatica also announced that the two companies are conducting joint- development activities, and sharing intellectual property, code and engineering plans, to fully integrate the Composite Information Server technology with PowerCenter. The first phase of integration is scheduled for the "Zeus" release of PowerCenter in Fall 2005, which represents a significant acceleration of Informatica's product-delivery roadmap, the company said.
"Informatica last month unveiled its 18-month product roadmap, which outlined the addition of federated-querying capabilities to the PowerCenter platform by late 2006," said Girish Pancha, executive vice president of products at Informatica. "Today's announcement steps up the delivery of that capability by more than one year -- immediately combining best-of-breed EII and enterprise data integration functionality into an integrated, open platform. Informatica chose Composite as its partner of choice after a detailed, year-long evaluation process because it clearly offered the most robust EII functionality on the market and will deliver the greatest benefits to our customers."
"EII is an ideal addition to the data integration toolset. Companies can now more easily reach out to additional data not in the warehouse, join it with warehouse master data, and deliver it in the form of real-time, reusable views to reports, dashboards and other applications," said Jim Green, chairman and CEO of Composite Software. "We're pleased to be collaborating with Informatica in melding these two core integration technologies, and look forward to providing users with further data-access flexibility and economies of scale."
"Dynamic access to operational data is a critical enhancement to any conventional enterprise data integration architecture, one that is an inevitable development in the natural evolution of technology in this market," said Carl Olofson, program director, information management and data integration at IDC. "Offering seamless, immediate heterogeneous data connectivity to any IT environment represents an advance in data integration that adds a level of flexibility critical to achieving the goals of the dynamic enterprise."
The Composite Integration Server will be available on an OEM basis from Informatica in the second quarter of 2005, and is being jointly supported by Informatica and Composite Software. First-phase integration of the two technologies is currently scheduled to be delivered in Fall 2005.

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
