Report Praises Queplix for Innovative Approach to Connecting, Moving, and
Harmonizing Data Across Enterprises With High Degree of Automation and
Simplicity

SUNNYVALE, Calif., 2011-06-28 17:03 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Queplix(tm) Corp., a leader in data integration and data management, today
announced the availability of a report on data integration solutions by
IdealNet, a provider of professional business expertise and technical services
to some of the world–s largest pharmaceutical, medical device, health insurance
and financial services companies. The report, An Analysis of Data Integration
Technologies, summarizes the findings of an evaluation comparing ETL and open
source solutions, and offers recommendations as to which technologies would be
most appropriate based on an organization–s data integration requirements.

IdealNet has managed numerous data integration software selection projects,
including Master Data Management (MDM), on behalf of multiple customers. In
order to ensure –current and comprehensive– results for its clients, IdealNet,
Inc. expanded the number of possible solutions to be examined during these
selection projects, and was –pleasantly surprised at the variety of new and
different approaches which have emerged that improve on the ubiquitous ETL
model.–

The report evaluates product offerings across 59 areas within 11 specific
categories, which represent the most common and most difficult segments of data
integration challenges faced by companies today:

— Business Application
— Platform Deployment
— Connectivity to Data Sources
— Synchronization
— Transformation
— Data Movement
— Test, Development and Operations Environments
— Data Modeling
— Data Quality and Data Governance
— Architecture
— Standards

Findings and Recommendations: Queplix the Greatest Surprise of All

The report suggests that data integration and movement between two discrete
sources can be well served, perhaps with differing costs and implementation
models, by all technologies reviewed. Batch oriented bulk data movement is an
area which continues to be best served by the traditional ETL model.

However, the report asserts that once an organization needs to integrate
disparate data types (relational, object, on-premise, cloud, nosql) or more
than two sources, there are compelling incentives for the use of technology
other than ETL, and that –this is where the divergence occurs and where the
most telling and interesting results reside.–

The following summarizes IdealNet–s evaluation between established ETL vendor
Informatica(r), open source platforms offered by Talend(tm), Pentaho(tm), and Apatar(tm),
and –new and different solution vendor– Queplix(tm).

— Large, Established ETL Vendor: According to IdealNet, Informatica(r) was
selected to represent the ETL segment, as it has long been a standard
bearer for ETL and, more recently, has expanded its footprint further into
the niche MDM area via its acquisition of Siperian(r). –As the gorilla of the
bunch, this offering suffers from similar issues as compared to any vendor
its age, scope, and size. The firm must continue to support a large user
base on varying levels of its technology, while attempting to continue to
move its products forward simultaneously. While this situation encapsulates
recurring revenue streams via long term customer relationships, it can also
easily serve to mute the possibility of significant innovation. Based on
our examination, we can see that the Informatica(r) suite of products
continues to lead in core ETL specialty areas, but does, in fact lag behind
the others within this study in terms of certain key areas of
differentiation.–
— New and Different Solution Vendor: The report states that, –Queplix
undoubtedly provided the greatest surprise of all– and that –the firm has
demonstrated a truly refreshing and innovative approach to connecting,
moving, and harmonizing data across enterprises. The high degree of
automation and the attendant ease-of-use can potentially offer users
significant labor and implementation savings over the use of alternate
technologies, perhaps on the order of 50 percent or more. If the
integration were to involve 3, 4, 5 or more sources, the savings would
potentially be much higher. We were impressed with the fact that the
technology base of Queplix has so effectively been structured so as to
allow the company to rapidly and effectively expand the scope of what can
be done with the product. Even some of the most complex and onerous data
tasks are handily placed directly under the control of end users via the
product–s –virtual– architecture coupled with a clean and predictable user
interface.–

–As a partner of industry-leading life sciences and financial services
organizations, IdealNet, Inc. is entrusted with having the best knowledge of
available technologies to meet its clients– data integration and data
management requirements,– said Mark Cashman, CEO, Queplix. — IdealNet is
certainly well-positioned to make informed, intelligent purchasing
recommendations to its clients to ensure their satisfaction and success. We
couldn–t be more pleased that it found Queplix to be a solution of choice for
companies with more complex data integration challenges looking to spend their
project dollars more wisely, and avoid long service engagements, manual
processes, and the constant wholesale movement of entire data sets.–
