Worldwide Computer Products News-27 May 2008-Apatar announces connectivity to IBM DB2(C)1995-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Apatar, Inc, a provider of open source software tools for the data integration market, announced on Monday (26 May) connectivity to IBM DB2, a family of relational database management system products from information technology company IBM (NYSE:IBM).

According to the company, the new connector for the Apatar Open Source Data Integration toolset enables reading and writing of data from/to DB2 tables and improves the quality of data during migration or integration, without the need for custom coding. The new release allows developers and users to easily link DB2 information between third-party applications (Salesforce.com, SugarCRM), other databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL, MySQL), flat files (CSV/TXT), and Web 2.0 destinations (Flickr, Amazon S3, RSS feeds).

The solution reportedly improves data quality with a variety of verification, filtration, and validation features, and enables users to create, share, and re-use pre-built data transformations and publish data integration output as a custom RSS feed to ApatarForge, the online Apatar community.

No financial details were disclosed.
