Problem – Business Agility Constrained by IT Complexity
Large enterprises and government agencies face similar challenges including:
- Constant business change necessitating rapid IT response;
- Growing data volumes and complexity that increase risk and reduce agility; and
- Financial constraints necessitating more cost-effective IT solutions.
Traditional data integration approaches such as consolidation and replication alone are unable to keep pace. Seeking greater agility, lower costs, and less risk, organizations increasingly rely on data virtualization.
Solution – Gain Agility and Cut Costs with Composite Data Virtualization
Data virtualization provides a more agile, lower cost data integration approach that overcomes data complexity and disparate silos to provide the complete, high quality and actionable information that agile businesses require. The Composite Data Virtualization Platform delivers the following benefits:
- Improve Business Performance – Data virtualization provides the information required to increase revenue and improve productivity
- Increase Agility – Data virtualization responds faster to new and rapidly changing information demands
- Reduce Costs – Data virtualization saves staff and infrastructure resources from the start. Compound these savings over time
- Decrease Risk – Data virtualization increases IT project success via rapid development and quick iterations
- Ensure Compliance – Data virtualization meets regulatory compliance data requirements faster, for less
Data Virtualization Overcomes Data Integration Challenges
Using agile data integration techniques and technology, the Composite Data Virtualization Platform directly addresses the following challenges with the most proven data virtualization offering in the market.
- Business Need for Timely Insight – Up-to-the-minute data is a key business requirement. Composite’s query optimization algorithms and techniques are fastest in the industry, delivering the timely information required whenever needed, without impacting source system performance.
- Business Need for Complete Picture – Data frequently needs to be combined with other data to provide business with the full picture. Composite’s data federation virtually integrates internal and external data in memory, without the cost and overhead of physical data consolidation.
- Data Proliferation – Identifying and understanding data assets distributed across a range of fit-for-purpose repositories and locations requires significant manual effort. Composite’s unique-in-the-industry data discovery saves time and money by automating entity and relationship identification and accelerating data modeling.
- Data Complexity – Incredible complexity challenges IT’s ability to leverage existing data for new business uses. Composite’s powerful data abstraction tools simplify complex data, transforming it from native structures and syntax into easy-to-understand, reusable views and data services with common semantics.
- Data Availability – With so many technologies, formats and standards, successfully surfacing data consumes significant IT resources. Composite’s numerous standards-based data access, caching and delivery options flexibly publish all the information business users require.
- Limited Control – Data is a critical asset that must be governed. The Composite data governance centralizes metadata management, ensures data security, improves data quality and runs reliably 7x24 across scalable clustered servers to maximize control.
- Environment of Non-Stop Change – New business requirements, new applications and new data sources make frequent change inevitable. Composite’s loosely-coupled data virtualization layer, rapid development tools, automated impact analysis and extensible architecture provide the information agility required to keep pace.
