June 28, 2007, Chicopee, MA
- Apatar, Inc., today announced Apatar Enterprise Data Mashups™, the
world’s first open source on-demand data integration software tools and
services at the Red Herring East Conference, being held June 26-28,
2007, in Boston, MA. Apatar Enterprise Data Mashups is a new product
for aggregating and reading RSS content within the enterprise. Apatar
enables its users to easily link information between files (Microsoft
Excel spreadsheets, CSV/TXT files), databases (such as MySQL, Microsoft
SQL, Oracle), applications (Salesforce.com, SugarCRM), and the top Web
2.0 destinations (Flickr, Amazon S3). Apatar provides support,
training, and consulting services for its integration solutions. Apatar
is the first company to release open source tools for non-technical
staff and customers to access the application data they need to do
their jobs more effectively.
“Apatar operates
across two of the most attractive technology categories for venture
capital today: open source and Enterprise 2.0,” said Joel Dreyfuss,
Editor-in-Chief of Red Herring. “Red Herring East is a great launch-pad
for companies like Apatar, because this conference is where money,
fortune, and good ideas connect." According to The Gartner
Group, “Corporate developers spend approximately 65 percent of their
effort building bridges between applications.” "Apatar
is creating a shift in the way we look at data,” said Deepak Singh,
Blogger-in-residence at TechBizMedia.com. “With its on-demand data
integration tools working together with complimentary RSS aggregation
services Apatar will go a long way towards commoditizing information
integration between applications, databases across the enterprise
traditionally suffering from information integration issues among
heterogeneous systems." "Before Apatar, there
were many proprietary vendors offering data integration solutions to
the enterprise marketplace. In many cases they were not cost effective.
Apatar entered this market as an open source vendor offering on-demand
data integration coupled with product support and services at a much
lower cost,” said Krishnan Subramanian, Blogger-in-residence at
TechBizMedia.com. “Even though Apatar software is designed as a toolset
for developers, it does not require manual coding and may receive
adoption among business users." “In today’s
enterprises, most data integration projects never get built. The ROI on
these small projects is simply too low to justify bringing expensive
middleware,” said Renat Khasanshyn, Founder and CEO of Apatar, Inc. “As
the momentum for on-demand solutions continues to grow, business users
are looking for applications that are easy to use. Apatar brings the
ease of drag-and-drop data integration to non-technician users within
companies who previously found proprietary data integration, ETL, and
EAI software tools expensive and difficult to implement." Major Apatar Offerings
Apatar Enterprise Data Mashups (www.apatar.com)
Apatar Enterprise Data Mashups is the first open source on-demand data
integration software tool set and services, which help users integrate
information between databases, files, and applications. Imagine you
could visually design (drag and drop) a workflow to exchange data and
files between files (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, CSV/TXT files),
databases (such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL, Oracle), applications
(Salesforce.com, SugarCRM), and the top Web 2.0 destinations (Flickr,
RSS feeds, Amazon S3), all without having to write a single line of
code. Users install a visual job designer application to create
integration jobs called DataMaps, link data between the source(s) and
the target(s), and schedule one-time or recurring data transformations.
Imagine this capability fits cleanly and quickly into your projects.
You've just imagined what Apatar can do for you. ApatarForge (www.apatarforge.org)
ApatarForge is the first on-demand service, released under an
open-source license, which allows anyone to build and publish an
RSS/REST feed of information from their favorite Microsoft Excel
spreadsheets, news feeds, databases, and applications. ApatarForge is
the community effort where business users and open source developers
publish, share, and re-use data integration jobs, called DataMaps, over
the web. ApatarForge is the prime destination for Apatar users to
collaborate and extend an Apatar Data Integration project.
ApatarForge.org now hosts more then 105 DataMaps containing metadata.
All DataMaps are available for free download at www.apatarforge.org. Benefits
