Composite products

Composite Information Server
The Composite Information Server (CIS) is a multi-threaded, 100-percent Java application that contains the query engine, library of views, cache and metadata repository; CIS also handles security.

Composite Studio
The Composite Studio is a powerful graphical development environment for modeling data, designing queries, connecting data sources, and setting security controls.

Composite Application Views
Composite Application Views unlock your information from SAP, Siebel, and PeopleSoft. Views decode application data, exposing it as standard relational tables. This allows you to query, and even update, complex applications directly. Unlike simple adapters, views expose critical business objects from SAP, Siebel, and PeopleSoft in a standard format to common reporting tools such as Excel, Cognos, Business Objects, and homegrown applications. Views can have immediate impact on your BI, dashboard, or composite application projects.

The Composite Developer Zone provides a trial version of the Composite Information Server, in addition to a wide range of resources for the developer community including discussion forums, development tips, training demos and more. These resources give developers the means to create real-time EII views that were previously inaccessible or too time-consuming to compile. Composite helps to jumpstart EII development efforts and allows anyone to start reaping the benefits of EII within a short period of time.

Developers can register for the program at http://www.compositesw.com/devzone/. Once registered they will have full access to the trial product, upgrades, training events and community resources, such as newsletters and online forums where they can ask questions, discuss Composite products and share views and tips with other developers.

Enterprise Information Integration

Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an emerging technology that is gaining momentum among Global 2000 corporations.

What is EII?
Enterprise Information Integration (EII) refers to technology and business best-practices for the real-time aggregation of corporate data across multiple, potentially widely disparate, data sources. EII delivers comprehensive, reusable “views” of customers, products, employees, and more. By presenting distributed data as if it exists in a single location, EII accelerates the development and maintenance of analytical and composite applications, improving corporate decision-making, customer service, compliance, or operating efficiency.

EII, EAI and ETL
EII is generally complementary to integration technologies such as ETL and EAI, yet companies are still unclear where the features of one technology end and those of the other begin. Find out what each technology is designed to do, when is it better to use one versus the other and when is it best to use them together.
