Comprehensive SOA-Based Data Integration Suite Solves Data Challenges

Oracle SOA Service Oriented Architecture News : Comprehensive SOA-Based Data Integration Suite Solves Data Challenges

Integrating data across multiple tiers just got a lot easier for Oracle customers. The new Oracle Data Integration Suite provides a comprehensive end-to-end data integration platform that connects heterogeneous data sources and applications and delivers clean, accurate, and timely data across the enterprise.

"Our customers need to manage data integration in three different tiers: the bulk delivery tier, the business process tier, and the application tier," says Jeff Pollock, senior director of product management, Oracle. Now they can manage them all with a single comprehensive and powerful end-to-end data integration solution—using a standards-based SOA framework."

Oracle Data Integration Suite couples leading technologies for service-oriented architecture (SOA) with conventional data management components like extract, load, and transform (ELT); data quality; data profiling; and master data management.

The suite combines Oracle's core strengths in SOA-based business process management and change management with Oracle Hyperion's Master Data Management capabilities. "Unifying these suite components allows people with very different roles in the company to view the integrated data that matters most to them," says Pollock. "Whether the person is a business user, an enterprise architect, a process modeler, or a data administrator, the Oracle Data Integration Suite gives them the tools they need."

"This comprehensive approach is critical for lowering total cost of ownership and reducing the need for support and maintenance for companies facing today's data integration challenges," says Pollock.

Oracle Data Integration Suite components enable consistent data integration across data sources and applications that include IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Teradata, Oracle Database, and Oracle and other ERP applications.
