Sypherlink's software suite accelerates the time-to-value and reduces the total cost of ownership for strategic information management initiatives

Today's corporate and government entities face extreme pressure to respond, change, merge and compete. In order to succeed, they must have access to accurate, reliable information.

As important as it is, this information is not readily available. It usually exists in multiple, disparate sources across a wide variety of platforms and systems. Harnessing this data takes time, money and resources. It involves finding the data, integrating like data from different sources, and ensuring the data is complete and reliable. In most cases, these tasks are very manual.

Sypherlink’s suite of information management products utilizes a unique, patented technology to improve the time, cost and quality metrics associated with implementing data-sharing and integration initiatives.

Sypherlink’s software products can work independently or as a cohesive unit to provide organizations one or all of the following:

• Knowledge of where key data exists across an organization.
  Harvester automates a significant amount of the data discovery and mapping process, enabling organizations to quickly understand what information is available and where field-level relationships exist between multiple data sources. Harvester's powerful, yet simple, user interface makes quick work of exception mapping and speeds the overall integration process.
• Access to the data from multiple, disparate sources.
  Exploratory Warehouse provides rapid prototyping of the data warehouse to speed the business value delivered and help to avoid common pitfalls associated with the implementation process. By engaging business sponsors throughout the entire design, development and testing phases of the implementation, Exploratory Warehouse helps to ensure business requirements are adequately supported and business value optimized.
• Reliability of data, ensuring file integrity and standardization.
  Integrity enhances ongoing data quality processes by ensuring incoming files are compliant with the requirements defined by target systems.

Sypherlink streamlines data sharing processes that involve gathering data from multiple internal and external sources for consolidation into a centralized location. Depending on the project, Sypherlink’s software products can be used separately or as a suite. Harvester automates the metadata discovery, analysis and mapping process. It determines field-level relationships and provides a user interface to allow users to validate mappings and identify which relationships are relevant for each initiative. Exploratory Warehouse provides a virtual prototype of the target repository in a fraction of the time it would take to create the production system. This prototype is used to validate design decisions by running test queries without physically moving data. Integrity ensures the reliability of the data delivered. As files move between systems, Integrity prepares that data for integration by addressing formatting and content inconsistencies.

The product suite, separately or combined, has the flexibility to meet a wide variety of needs. However, in each case the result is the same: reduced manual labor, lowered costs, improved integration processes and a faster time-to-value.

Unique Advantages:

• Accelerates implementation timeframes
• Lowers implementation costs
• Significantly improves return on investment
• Provides strategic flexibility
• Complements and accelerates the use of traditional data management tools
• Database, platform and application agnostic
