Reflecting the importance of using information effectively today, many
organizations are building information portals. The purpose of the portal
is to provide a single access point for all employees to the vast storehouse
of enterprise information as required.
Creating an effective information portal requires the ability to tap
into all sources of corporate information, regardless of location, data
type or format. These data sources routinely include:
Legacy data - based on COBOL, ISAM, or proprietary database technology;
Current data sources - including ODBC compliant, object, relational,
and
Textual information - such as XML.
Empowering
Information Portals with Data Access
seeMore helps create viable, effective information portals by providing
the ability to access, view, manage, replicate, update, query and deploy
all information sources within your enterprise.
seeMore's powerful capabilities provide your Information
Portal with the data it needs. Its comprehensive capabilities enable it
to:
Access and control data in any data source, using standards-based
application interfaces;
Create data Location Transparency so end-users can request information
without knowing the data source or the physical location of the data;
Allow real-time data access to any data source to enable fast portal
response;
Access multiple data sources simultaneously as if it were a single
data source;
Provide access to virtual views of information, allowing users to
see a result set that is an aggregation of information that doesn't
exist in one specific database;
Quickly and easily create standard application interfaces to unique
data sources, in order to make this information available to users;
Provide access security, ensuring only authorized users can access
and update information, and a single log on, eliminating the need for
authorized users to have to enter their password for each separate data
source;
Replicate data across information
portals globally;
Transform data from a data source into another format for use by
an application.
