Sypherlink, Meta Integration Partner to Accelerate Data Integration and Business Intelligence Initiatives

DUBLIN, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sypherlink, Inc., the information-management-software company with patented automated mapping and rapid virtualization software, and metadata component provider Meta Integration Technology, Inc. (MITI), today announced a partnership designed to accelerate organizations’ critical data integration and business intelligence initiatives.

“In addition, the partnership will benefit the growing metadata management market, supporting the arrival of new technologies such as IBM’s Information Server.”

”We will embed Meta Integration’s Model Bridge software within our product suite, further improving the time, cost and quality metrics associated with designing, building and deploying data integration and business intelligence initiatives,” said Sypherlink CEO James Paat.

“This will enable field-level mapping relationships found by Sypherlink to be seamlessly integrated into such popular data integration design tools as IBM DataStage and Informatica PowerCenter, as well as into such widely used business intelligence design tools as Business Objects Designer and Cognos Framework Manager,” he explained. “In addition, the partnership will benefit the growing metadata management market, supporting the arrival of new technologies such as IBM’s Information Server.”

“This partnership enables a powerful forward engineering of the complex relationships and mappings discovered by Sypherlink software,” said Christian Bremeau, MITI’s CEO, “It will optimize the performance of integration tools and business intelligence applications by providing an accurate understanding of the underlying data and metadata, including where relationships exist across data sources.”

According to Paat, Meta Integration is the Swiss Army knife of application programming interfaces, allowing the value of Sypherlink’s products to be realized immediately through its seamless integration. He added that the partnership also directly benefits application vendors, by shortening their set-up and implementation times and enabling their tools to better align with business users’ needs.

Paat said the partnership will be “especially valuable” to organizations with complex data sharing needs, including those working through mergers & acquisitions or supporting data governance and compliance efforts.

“Sypherlink’s rapid prototyping technology will be more quickly leveraged, helping to mitigate the risk and uncertainty inherent in major data integration and business intelligence initiatives,” he said.
