Queplix Introduces Data Quality Manager For Quecloud

The First Data Integration and Data Management Cloud Delivers Advanced Data Quality Functionality with Core Services through a Single Platform – http://bit.ly/kOuXsf 

Queplix™ Corp., a leader in data integration and data management, today introduced the new Data Quality Manager™ for QueCloud™, enabling companies to seamlessly create and maintain data consistency throughout the data migration, integration and management lifecycle - all with a single cloud-based platform. Data Quality Manager is also available on-premise with Queplix Virtual Data Manager™. Both products are available today.

QueCloud, the industry's first data integration and data management cloud, securely integrates cloud applications such as Salesforce®, NetSuite®, LinkedIn®, and FaceBook® with unprecedented speed and simplicity. Data Quality Manager addresses the common data quality challenges that create barriers for any data integration effort. As a central component of the QueCloud dashboard, Data Quality Manager is tightly coupled with the solution's core data integration and data management functionality. This is the first time a cloud-based data integration platform service has offered advanced data quality, integration and management in one environment, performing in a simultaneous continuum that eliminates the need to invest in separate tools."

Today, companies must purchase separate data quality products that run data cleansing exercises in complete isolation from data integration," said Steve Yaskin, chief technology officer, Queplix. "Not only is this more expensive, it's also far less effective since separate products aren't designed to interact with each other. Queplix provides data integration, data management and data quality functionality in a single integration-as-a-service platform. QueCloud and our on-premise product, Virtual Data Manager both now automatically check for and repair inconsistencies as part of the data integration and management process. This saves a tremendous amount of time, money and effort. No other vendor is doing this today."Data Quality Manager delivers fast, automated and easy access to comprehensive data quality functionality for null fields, duplicate detection, syntax error notification, date range checks and much more in a manner that works seamlessly as part of the data integration and management process. As a result, companies no longer need multiple tools; data is made consistent from the onset of integration, and consistency is maintained throughout the data management lifecycle.

QueCloud is designed for the business user - no SQL programming is needed. The architecture includes a series of intelligent Application Software Blades™ that identify and extract key metadata and associated security information from target applications and move it to the Queplix persistent metadata catalog. Once integrated, data remains easily accessible to any number of additional applications, enabling a high degree of flexibility and scalability. As a result, organizations can dramatically reduce the lifecycle total cost of ownership for data management, by up to 75 percent or more over the cost of a traditional deployment.

Cloud Integration in 2011: QueCloud Ties Cloud and On-Premise via Data Virtualization

Queplix Corp. is shipping its QueCloud integration platform, which uses data virtualization for sharing data across cloud and on-premise apps. Integration Developer News continues its “Cloud Integration in 2011” series with Queplix CEO Mark Cashman.

By Vance McCarthy

Queplix Corp., a data integration and data management provider, is shipping its QueCloud cloud integration platform. QueCloud is powered by secure data virtualization and metadata technologies, and can integrate multiple on-premise and cloud-based apps.

Queplix is also shipping a tailored integration solution for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud platform, based on the company’s same core technologies.

QueCloud lets companies quickly, easily and securely integrate on-premise data and applications with cloud applications such as Salesforce, NetSuite, LinkedIn, and FaceBook. QueCloud also supports leading on-premise applications including SAP, PeopleSoft, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle CRM, NetSuite and others.

“We have the ability to integrate between the cloud and on-premise, or within either,” Queplix CEO Mark Cashman told IDN. “With MDM (master data management) and [data] harmonization, we know when and where anything is changed in the underlying data structures.” 

Driving QueCloud integration capability is Queplix Virtual Data Manager (VDM) data virtualization technology, along with a set of application “blades” or intelligent connectors.

Together, these technologies identify and extract key metadata and associated security information from data stored in applications.

Queplix’ Virtual Data Manager data virtualization technology improves on ETL and avoids SQL programming to virtually harmonize data from diverse on-premise and cloud-based locations.

Queplix blades differ from SaaS connectors found in some cloud appliances because they are multi-directional and can conduct data identification, extraction and integration tasks, Cashman said.

Once captured, information goes into Queplix’s persistent metadata catalog without moving any of the underlying data from its original location, Cashman told IDN. From the catalog, Queplix renders the data easily accessible and shareable to any number of additional applications via the Queplix Engine, he added.

Another Queplix technology attracting attention from data architects is Virtual Data Viewer, Cashman said. The Queplix VDV provides an object-oriented view of a wide range of data formats, including XML, CSV, spreadsheets and RDMBS. Data architects can also see relationships between data and data models used in each format, and even the relationships between different data, he added.

“Data architects eyes popped when they could understand where all their data was in this way,” Cashman told IDN. “All this is letting them combine fields and sources across different data sets to create a ‘virtual entity’ of a customer, amassed from all the different customer records.”

Other QueCloud features include:

·       A simple UI  designed to allow business users to employ cloud integration

·       Data for customer, product, vendor, HR and financial information can be aligned easily and automatically across multiple sources.

·       Tools for data governance, including data dictionary, data quality and data integration

·       Can scale to meet demands of largest enterprise

·       Maintains consistency between data across multiple applications using automated data synchronization.

Queplix Solution for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud

Queplix’s Virtual Data Manager (VDM) SuiteApp for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud, available now, automates integration between NetSuite and on-premise apps or other SaaS services. Queplix’s SuiteApp quickly integrates NetSuite’s SuiteCloud SaaS applications for accounting, ERP, CRM and e-commerce, as well as cloud-based tools and infrastructure.

Core Queplix technologies also lay at the heart of the Queplix SuiteApp for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud. Notably, NetSuite engineers notice a convergence between Queplix’ approach and the underlying NetSuite’s data virtualization architecture for cloud.

“Queplix is built using some of the same principles as NetSuite -- ease and speed of deployment, a rich user experience, and the flexibility of a cloud-based approach,” said Guido Haarmans, NetSuite’s vice president for developer programs and business development. In specific, NetSuite harmonizes data to maintain user interface consistency, and it lets NetSuite customers use their existing security models, he added.

Users cite as Dell Boomi too complex and time-consuming, Queplix is a solution of choice to address integration needs - http://bit.ly/l63jkH

Search Data Management posted the following article recently:

Dell this week released a fresh update to its recently acquired Boomi AtomSphere SaaS integration suite, but at least two companies will not be using the product anytime soon.

Carl Wright, vice president of sales with storage area network firm Coraid, and Nick Strong, an associate IT consultant with Appirio Inc., a cloud-based applications provider, independently evaluated older versions of Dell Boomi and decided that it was too complex and time-consuming for their integration needs. They ultimately chose competing products and currently have no plans to look back.

"[Coraid] originally tried to use Boomi to create a connector between [NetSuite and Salesforce.com] and, frankly, it was cumbersome and uneconomical and, quite frankly, we couldn't get it to work properly," said Wright, who has a background in information technology. "It was a one-to-one connector between fields and tables, and you had to basically orchestrate the whole thing yourself."

Dell acquired Boomi last November as part of an ongoing push to enhance its cloud computing portfolio. Some of the other cloud vendors Dell has acquired include infrastructure providers Scalent Systems Inc., DynamicOps Inc. and Joyent Inc. The Dell Boomi offering allows users to, among other things, transfer data between cloud and on-premises applications.

The spring update to Boomi AtomSphere includes new enhancements such as change data capture capabilities, which reduce the size of data sets being processed; large data processing capabilities, which help users automate the data integration process; and a new application program interface (API) that allows third-party monitoring tools to keep an eye on AtomSphere integration activity. Pricing for the suite starts at $500 per month, according to Dell.

Appirio's Strong, who evaluated Boomi about three months ago, said he felt the low initial starting price for the suite was attractive but later decided that it failed to deliver enough value for the money.

"When you get a basic license from them, they restrict it to where you can only connect to like two or three data sources," Strong said. "It won't let you connect to any more."

Dell Boomi versus the alternatives

Redwood City, Calif.-based Coraid first evaluated Boomi about three years ago, after the company began using Salesforce.com for its customer relationship management (CRM) needs. Founded in 2002, Coraid initially ran its CRM operations on NetSuite, but eventually decided that Saleforce.com was a better fit for sales and marketing operations.

"We ended up with really two enterprise CRMs, each with the notion of 'customer' in it, and NetSuite was the system of record for most of that data," Wright said. "But [we needed] a lot of the entitlement things, such as support and maintenance contracts and things like that, inside of Salesforce in order to facilitate [some] customer interactions."

Coraid needed to get Salesforce and NetSuite to play nicely together and started looking at technologies that could make it happen. Salesforce recommended Boomi, but Coraid found it too complex. The company eventually decided that data virtualization technology from Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Queplix Corp. was the right choice for the job.

"Today, all of our workflows are facilitated real time between NetSuite and Salesforce using the Queplix data virtualization tool," he said. "It creates a global metadata catalog."

Queplix says its products help users securely integrate, deploy and manage cloud and on-premises applications with no programming or SQL knowledge required.

"In the process of crawling our database repositories, Queplix identified a ton of inconsistencies," Wright said. "We had thousands and thousands of records with a little over 250 that were not correct, and it allowed us to fix them easily."
