the higher-performance, lower-cost alternative to Ab Initio

problem: unique needs, painful choices

Until now, companies with the highest-performance data integration needs – the biggest data sets, fastest throughput requirements and low latency applications -- have faced a difficult choice: build a custom-coded solution or buy Ab Initio.  Custom-coded high-performance DI solution can cost less, but they frequently involve endless development and maintenance headaches.  Opting for Ab Initio promises unmatched data processing performance, but no other ETL or DI solution costs as much.

expressor solution: the higher-performance alternative

High-performance data integration customers now have a better option: the smarter, faster and more affordable expressor semantic data integration system. expressor ‘s advantages in performance and affordability are being validated every day by new customers and partners making the switch from Ab Initio. 

 expressor offers major benefits in terms of performance, cost, and business practices

Tests have shown expressor’s parallel data processing engine is the fastest on the market, with sustained throughput of 2.8 TB/hour and reaching 11.4 TB/hour using expressor’s proprietary compression technology.  In addition, expressor’s ultrafast engine can run in intermittent or perpetual mode, support both batch and real-time applications and process complex data types such as XML natively and in-flight.

expressor’s powerful and fast datascript^tm scripting language is based on Lua, the open-source language used by developers for demanding gaming and embedded systems applications.  expressor uses datascript not only as a scripting language, but also as the development language for all its tools and applications to increase productivity and reduce maintenance issues.

expressor’s affordability starts with simple and flexible usage-based pricing model that allows you to pay for only the software you use. We also offer term licenses for as short as six months and do not charge “extra” for tools, connectors or real-time functionality.  expressor customers have found they can get started on initial applications for less than $100,000.

As users develop additional applications, expressor’s next-generation, smart semantics meta data capture capabilities deliver additional savings through greater business rule re-use and shorter development times that can help cut an organization’s total data integration costs in half.
