Butler Group Recommends that Organizations Would Benefit From Using Composite Information Server 4.6

Published: April 2, 2008

The Composite Information Server integrates live data in real time across disparate systems and is particularly good at accessing packaged application data that is notoriously difficult to access.

Composite Software, Inc., the virtual data integration company, recently announced that a product evaluation by industry analyst firm Butler Group, a Datamonitor company, recommends that organizations with a diverse range of applications needing to consolidate data virtually, as well as those transitioning to service-oriented architecture (SOA), would benefit from using the company’s newest solution, Composite Information Server 4.6. 

“Butler Group thinks very highly of the visual, declarative capabilities of the Composite Information Server’s modeling environment,” writes author Angela Eager, Senior Analyst at the UK-based Butler Group. “The combination of an intuitive interface for data service design and automatic generation of the code, means developers can concentrate on the content of the data service rather than writing SQL, WSDL or defining XML schemas, [thereby] speeding up the creation process.”

The report determined that the Composite Information Server is a strong solution for integrating live data in real time across disparate systems and is particularly good at accessing packaged application data that is notoriously difficult to access.  The Composite Information Server also adds value by pushing relevant information to users throughout the organization in an easily digestible format.
