Data interoperability is often overlooked or an afterthought in the development of a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Why? Because application and data architects may have difficulty making informed architectural decisions about it. But as we enter new, innovative phases of creating new and fine-tuning existing SOA infrastructure, enterprises must find efficient ways to reconcile data inconsistencies among diverse data sources and web services in order to deliver the ROI and agility they seek.
Planning for data interoperability will provide highly reliable and scalable service enablement, data validation, and data integrity across heterogeneous applications. So rather than spend costly time reconciling data inconsistencies after you've deployed your SOA, use a model-driven development tool to import or build a common information model, configure transformation and validation rules, and deploy reusable data services. Today, companies are looking to Progress Software to help improve data interoperability among applications and web services.
Progress® DataXtend™ Semantic Integrator (SI) is data integration software that enables the free flow of valuable data across the enterprise. DataXtend SI solves the problem of validating common information exchanges between systems by focusing on the business integrity of dataallowing you to reconcile data inconsistencies among diverse data sources and web services in order to deliver the ROI, agility and superior customer service.
