Master Data Management has been appointed the South African implementation partner for Expressor Software - the leading provider of simplified, powerful, and affordable data integration software.
expressor software delivers a comprehensive design, development and deployment platform that assists companies with support of their data integration applications, from tactical data migrations to data warehouses and predictive analytics, while remaining extremely cost-effective.
According to MDM, surveys have shown that cost is a significant inhibitor for adoption of data integration software, and many companies are tired of having to spend millions on software, millions more on massive servers to support the load, and even more on scarce IT staff. MDM has discovered that Expressor's innovative data integration approach provides an alternative.
According to MDM's Gary Allemann: “Expressor's approach is to enable data aware business users to build their own data integration processes, which removes the dependency on the expensive, specialised IT staff necessary with many older extract, transform, load (ETL) platforms. By empowering data-savvy analysts, Expressor Software significantly reduces the total cost of ownership of a data integration solution.”
"A hidden benefit of the Expressor approach is that highly specialised technical staff members often don't understand the business relevance of data," explains Allemann. "Enabling business users to develop data integration processes reduces the need for technical analysis, as these are the users that already understand how the target data must behave."
Expressor Software's unique semantic framework is the underlying structure that enables rapid development and re-use of data integration artefacts, which is another cost saver. Allemann explains: “Assume, for example, that your business gets regular feeds of product data from multiple suppliers - each providing fundamentally the same information but in slightly different formats and structures depending on the supplier. Expressor's semantic layer allows you to very quickly and easily map each feed to your corporate standard and re-use all existing data flows.”
