Composite Software Named a “Strong Performer” In IAAS by Leading Independent Research Firm
|
| |
Forrester Research |
|
| |
Composite Software was cited as a “strong performer” in Information-As-A-Service (IaaS). Composite was among a select group of companies that Forrester Research invited to participate in its January 2008 Forrester Wave report, “The Forrester Wave™: Information-As-A-Service, Q1 2008.” |
|
| |
The report by the independent analyst firm writes, “IaaS not only addresses data integration and data management challenges; it also provides a more flexible architecture to support a broader range of use cases.” The report also states, “The IaaS software market overlaps several existing markets including data integration, data replication, data availability, enterprise search, real-time business analytics and application development tools.” |

Technical Whitepaper: Bloor Research – The Composite |
| |
Information Server |
|
|
|
| A product evaluation by Bloor Research finds that Composite Software maintains a significant market presence in data federation. Further, the analyst firm – one of the world’s leading IT research, analysis and consultancy organizations – is optimistic about Composite’s future outlook, especially with the imminent release of Composite’s Discovery product, slated for Q2 2008. |
|
|
|
| “[W]e have no qualms about recommending the use of Composite Information Server: the product should be on the short list of anyone wanting to federate information across multiple, heterogeneous data sources,” writes author Philip Howard, research director of Data at Bloor Research. “[Composite Software] is one of the leading vendors in the sector as a whole, certainly in terms of its [products’] functionality, performance and ease of use.” |
|
|
|
| The report evaluates Composite’s suite of products, comprising its award-winning, flagship Composite Information Server™, Composite Active Cluster, Composite Data Services Applications, and the development environment, Composite Studio. Howard also briefly mentions Composite Discovery. |

|
| DM Review |

| Life Time Fitness has redefined and expanded traditional approaches to the health club industry with individualized services (personal trainers, swim instructors), nutritional products, health solutions, a health-fitness magazine and athletic events sponsorship. They needed a customer data integration (CDI) system to streamline development and enable them to improve their key business processes within customer service and human resources. Composite Software met all their requirements. |

Virtualize Your Data to Jumpstart Stalled Operational |
| |
Business Intelligence |
|
| B-Eye Network |
|
| While operational BI projects are arguably more challenging than average home repairs, having the right tool for the job is equally critical in both cases. Surveys show that operational BI adoption is stalled, preventing the realization of its anticipated benefits. At the core of the problem is data, with its multiple silos, latency, redundancy and the need for agility. ETL and ODS have helped, but at higher associated costs than many enterprises can afford. Data virtualization helps to overcome data integration challenges by jumpstarting stalled operational BI initiatives and accelerating returns. With the right tool, problem solved. |
