SAN MATEO, CALIF. - April 21,
2008 - Composite Software, Inc., the virtual data integration company,
today announced the availability of "To V or Not To V: BI Goes Virtual,"
a whitepaper by Claudia Imhoff, president and founder of Intelligent Solutions,
a leading consultancy on customer relationship management (CRM) and business
intelligence (BI) technologies and strategies. Composite Software is also the sponsor
of a subsequent web seminar, co-hosted by Imhoff and Composite Software Vice
President of Marketing, Robert Eve, on May 7, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.
The
whitepaper and seminar will discuss the two most popular techniques for data
integration, virtual data federation and physical data consolidation, and the
technologies that support each method, enterprise information integration (EII)
and extract, transfer and load (ETL). In the whitepaper, Imhoff offers eight
BI examples to help implementers determine when to use each technique and technology.
"In today's dynamic environment, organizations are faced
with new and increasingly critical decisions that can affect their very
survival," explains Imhoff in
the whitepaper's introduction. "Decision makers are making
increased demands on their BI environments to produce the right (or
appropriate) data at the right time, and faster than before. Appropriate data
means the combination of historical, low latency and real time data from a
variety of sources that call for sophisticated data infrastructures that go way
beyond simple data combinations and displays."
The web event is open to registered attendees and will explore how
virtual data marts and operational data stores can provide real-time information
across operational as well as historical data. Field examples of companies that
have switched to virtual data integration will also be presented.
In
addition, web seminar attendees will learn:
- What issues to consider when choosing an
appropriate data integration technology
- How a virtual tool works in physical, virtual and
hybrid data integration patterns
- Who uses virtual data integration and when
- How virtual solutions can save time and money.
Registration for the web seminar may
be completed here .
