Wachovia Corporation (recently
merged with Wells Fargo & Company) has selected
Composite Information Server, a data virtualization
vendor, for its SOA Initiatives. Wachovia has deployed
the Composite software in its corporate investment
banking line to deliver holdings and offerings
information even faster to customers.
Composite
Software's data virtualization layer simplifies the
complexity of accessing siloed and disparate data
sources, across multiple operational areas. "The
Composite Information Server's ability to cache any of
our data from multiple federated sources allows us to
provide a single point of access for user applications,
and delivers on-demand information as re-usable web
services. This helps our sales people provide better
service to our customers, therefore increasing business
value and revenue," said Sid Vyas, managing director,
corporate and investment banking technology,
Wachovia. |

Bloor
Research: Composite Discovery In-Detail |
|
| This InDetail
paper discusses Composite Discovery, which provides
search capabilities against structured data that may be
stored in multiple locations. It is primarily targeted
at business users, enabling them to explore related data
items where no relevant business intelligence
capabilities are available. It may also be used by IT
personnel searching for data relationships in order to
support data governance and other initiatives. |

| Philip Howard of UK-based
Bloor Research evaluated Composite Discovery, which
provides search capabilities against structured data
that may be stored in multiple locations. Discovery may
also be used to search for data and data relationships
to support data integration, data governance and other
initiatives. Howard's findings are published as an
In-Detail Report and excerpted in Pervasive BI (business
intelligence) and Information Discovery, an on-demand
webinar that looks at the industry trends associated
with discovery of data and data relationships. |

Where Structured Data Search Fails: Why
Relationship Discovery is Critical When Working with
Structured Data |
BI
Journal
(Must be a TDWI member to download)
|
|
| When it
comes to today’s enormous data volumes, enterprises and
government agencies may feel they have left the familiar
world behind. The business impact of the growth of data
and complexity is significant. Therefore, business
cannot rely on IT alone. Search is one of the tools
enterprises are using to help navigate the vast amounts
of data. |
|
| When it
comes to structured data searches, however, many of the
initial technology solutions—typically based on
unstructured search technology—fail to hit the mark. The
reason is simple. When it comes to structured data, the
structure is just as critical as the data. Search
solutions must consider schema, metadata, syntax,
security, and tabular format. |

Composite Software Offers Secure Information
Services from the Ground Up |
| eBizQ |
|
| “Securing
Next-Generation Information Architectures,” by Noel
Yuhanna, a principal analyst at Cambridge, Mass.-based
Forrester Research, notes, “Next-generation information
architectures such as data federation and information
services are gaining increased adoption so security
professionals must ensure their protection from all
relevant threats….These next-generation architectures
revolutionize enterprise data access by federating
disparate data sources but may bypass traditional data
security measures.” |
|
|
In the October report, after describing eleven steps
to securing IaaS architectures, the report showcases one
of Composite’s financial services customers as an
example of IaaS security. The report describes the bank
as “… using information-as-a-service to support its risk
and compliance management applications and to present a
single source of truth for customer-facing
applications. |

Composite
Software Discovery Determined Highly Complementary to
Business Intelligence and Data Integration
Technologies |
| Press
Release |
|
| Luminary Philip Howard of
UK-based Bloor Research evaluated Composite Discovery,
concluding it serves a genuine need not served by other
technologies and is complementary to business
intelligence (BI) and data integration (DI)
technologies. |
|
| “We are impressed with
Composite Discovery: it serves a genuine need yet we
know of no other vendor that offers such capability,”
Howard concludes in his In-Detail Report executive
summary. “There is one supplier that provides search
capability against indexes …; and …a couple of vendors
that support the discovery of hidden relationships
(across sources) from an IT perspective. However,
Composite Discovery encompasses all of this
functionality and more. In our view Composite Discovery
provides excellent complementary capability both to
business intelligence on the one hand and data quality
and data governance on the other.” |
