product overview

With innovative, patent-pending software technology, expressor software tackles the complexity and cost of enterprise IT projects and delivers breakthrough development productivity and data processing performance at a significant price/performance advantage. The company's flagship product — the expressor semantic data integration system^tm — has been designed from the ground up based on a semantic metadata foundation.

The company is redefining data integration through a fundamentally new design concept around smart semantics^tm, allowing organizations to rationalize physical metadata constructs around common business terms and write target-specific data transformation and business rules that are 100% reusable. The expressor solution supports Windows, Linux, Solaris, and AIX, and includes three components that can be installed on a single host or distributed across multiple computers for shared access and optimal performance:

expressor integrator is a suite of collaborative, role-based tools that support the entire project development and management lifecycle. It includes:

• expressor initiator — a Windows desktop application that allows semantic business definitions and terms to be created and edited in bulk.
• expressor administrator — a web-based project setup and management application.
• expressor constructor — a Windows spreadsheet-based business rule definition and testing desktop application.
• expressor illustrator — a Windows desktop-based visual integration flow design application.
• expressor communicator — a reporting database that provides visibility into application projects and operations, allowing users to generate runtime and development reports using any ODBC/JDBC-compliant reporting tools.

expressor repositor is an enterprise-class semantic metadata repository that collects, stores, and manages project management information, reusable data descriptions, application file versioning, performance metrics, and the implementation and enforcement of role-based security.

expressor processor is a high-performance parallel data processing engine that runs a deployed data integration application in batch and real-time.

In addition, expressor enables integration with third-party scheduling tools so organizations can leverage OS platform-specific schedulers to invoke expressor processor runtime processes, and expressor investigator provides built-in functions for data quality and error discovery, and offers interfaces to third-party data quality tools.
