Integral Enterprise DataBridge^TM (IED)

Companies today face increased complexity in assimilating data from many different areas of the enterprise. The Integral Enterprise DataBridge, (IED), is a Microsoft .net application which addresses this challenge. IED locates, transforms, and integrates the various data sources that are required to give enterprise users the needed answers to critical real-time information. As companies grow, merge, or acquire other companies the task to identify and use this information by the end – users requires an easy to use tool to manage and this data from diverse information sources in an efficient and cost effective manner.

The Integral Enterprise DataBridge is the ideal tool to perform data conversions, data migration, data transformation and mapping services to and from any data source including data that resides both within your four walls, and across the World Wide Web.

Several types of data sources are available to the Integral Enterprise DataBridge:

• Databases -- natively supports SQL and Progress RDBMS database sources.
• Datasets -- any properly formatted XML document.
• Flat Files -- that comprise fixed length or character delimited (space, semicolon, tab, or comma) data. A great solution for EDI document conversion.
• Integral Enterprise Viewer Data -- Leverage the power of Integral Enterprise Viewer Views to bring in data from a wide array of ODBC compliant data sources with custom calculations, formatting, and row selection.

• Databases -- Data is sent directly to a target MS SQL (and selected other) database(s) after any desired data manipulation or default values are applied.
• Flat Files -- The data from any of the sources can also be written to a flat file that is either fixed length, or character delimited (space, semicolon, tab, or comma) type.
• XML -- data and data relationships for consumption by a wide selection of ERP systems and other management tools.
• COM API -- Data is sent to a VBScript, which invokes COM components and passes data to them. As an example, the business rules that run in Component services could be this type of destination source.
