 What is
Bridge? Over the past decade, businesses
have added several applications to their information systems. In that process,
valuable data spreads out over several database systems, causing a loss of information
and requiring manual processes to improve business productivity. Integrating
the data between sources provides richer information, as well as reduces manual
errors. However, most integration products currently available are expensive
and require a programming staff to install and operate. With that in mind, i-Vantage,
Inc. has created an intuitive GUI-based application that can do most data integration
work for a fraction of the price that other integration vendors charge.
Bridge is a handy data integration
tool that can help integrate disparate data sources over the Local and Wide Area Networks. Bridge allows you to integrate systems to improve
process productivity, aggregate data from various locations for advanced reporting
or reduce IT development costs for interfaces and conversion programs. Bridge's
low cost, light weight framework, and intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI)
makes it an attractive alternative to presently available EAI solutions.
How does
Bridge work?
Bridge automates data
transfers between various data sources quickly and easily. Bridge has two
different architectures:
Bridge is 100% Java-based,
making it platform independent. Bridge
uses an effective interface modeling technique to ensure that most types of
data flows can be accommodated.
What can
I do with Bridge?
- The platform independent
and flexible architecture of Bridge allows you to:
- Integrate various
data sources
- Easily share
data with partners (B2B)
- Combine data
from various locations for reporting purposes
- Eliminate the
need for creation of conversion and interface scripts
- The GUI-based
setup tool allows you to define and view data sources, interfaces and subcomponents.
It also lets you schedule jobs and view status / error reports.
- The extract wizard
allows you to create extracts from database tables, XML files and flat files
without having to understand the underlying technology.
- The flexible mapping
and transformation wizard allows for easy and flexible database conversion.
- Bridge's built-in
scheduler automates, runs and generates run / error logs.
