EDP Weekly's IT Monitor, August 4, 2003

CONNX Solutions, a provider of data access and integration software solutions, has announced the release of its latest version of its flagship product, CONNX. CONNX 8.9 includes a number of significant performance and feature enhancements, giving companies the freedom to choose the open technology most appropriate for their business needs.

CONNX facilitates the access of data regardless of where it physically resides. CONNX enables organizations to unlock legacy, relational and desktop data sources so business decisions can be made. CONNX provides real-time read/write access to disparate data sources from a single point of connection as if it were a single database.

Since the release of the CONNX Data Synchronization tool, customers have been using the product to build relational-to-relational as well as nonrelational-to-relational data marts and data warehouses. The CONNX Data Synchronization tool is optimized to operate efficiently over wide area networks (WANs), a requirement when pulling data from different locations into centralized target databases. The CONNX Data Synchronization tool also plays an integral role when migrating data from one data source to another.

"CONNX Solutions has leveraged its flagship CONNX technology of integrating all of the information within an organization under a single common methodology, and now has added an extremely useful tool to take advantage of that power and ease of use, making the CONNX Data Synchronization tool an instant hit with our customers," says Douglas D. Wright, President/CEO of CONNX Solutions.

"Our customers are moving 142 million rows of data in a little over 2 hours. They are avoiding expensive and lengthy custom coding cycles and are integrating our unique capabilities with the major ETL tool vendors, such as Ascential, Informatica, and Embarcadero. Estimated savings include one dedicated technical resource, 4 months of time, and thousands of dollars on the initial setup," says Shirley M. McKinney, Director of Sales, for CONNX Solutions.

CONNX Solutions also reconfirms its commitment to open technologies, such as Web Services, XML, JMS, and SOAP. CONNX customers are actively using the product in a wide range of open technologies, and CONNX is constantly ensuring easy integration and compatibility with various technologies.
