Burlington, MA – Dec. 4, 2008 — expressor software, the leader in semantic data integration, announced today that it has shipped version 1.2 of its groundbreaking semantic data integration system. expressor 1.2 includes enhanced connectivity for the Netezza Performance Server® (NPS ®) data warehouse appliance, SAS, Sybase ASE and Microsoft SQL Server and repository support for IBM AIX 5.3. With this release, expressor's high-performance parallel data processing engine and enterprise-class semantic metadata repository are fully supported on Windows, Linux and AIX.
"We have been impressed with what we've seen thus far from expressor in active evaluations," said Jeff Purcell, principal at BAAX, an expressor systems integrator partner. "We believe the enhancements in version 1.2, especially the support for NPS, will strengthen the appeal of the expressor solution."
"expressor software is at the head of a new class of data integration solutions that is challenging the old guard," said Dr. Paul Barth, Managing Partner, NewVantage Partners. "The company's groundbreaking semantic approach to data integration is designed to solve many of the complex, pervasive problems traditionally associated with DI, such as the 'data mapping' issue that large organizations with distributed data sources face when building new applications."
The expressor semantic data integration system combines three critical capabilities into a single, integrated platform:
- expressor integrator is a suite of team-oriented, role-based tools that support the entire project development and management lifecycle.
- expressor repositor an enterprise-class semantic metadata repository that collects, stores, and manages project management information, reusable data descriptions, application file versioning, performance metrics, and role-based security procedures and policies.
- expressor processor is an ultra fast parallel data processing engine that runs a deployed data integration application in batch and real-time across heterogeneous hardware platforms and includes connectivity to a wide range of data sources.
