Business Glossary

The Business Glossary helps organizations to create and manage a controlled vocabulary that acts as the common language between Business and IT. This is an important step towards aligning technology more effectively with business goals.

Change Data Capture

This is a real-time Change Data Capture and replication solution for heterogeneous environments. It identifies and distributes information within diverse data stores in realtime.

Change Data Capture for Oracle Replication

IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture for Oracle Replication distributes data in realtime within Oracle systems.

DataStage

DataStage enables organizations to design data flows that can be used to extract information from different source systems. This information can be enriched by means of transformations, and is ultimately supplied to one or more target databases or applications (supports ETL processing).

DataStage MVS Edition

DataStage MVS Edition brings data transformation to IBM mainframes. It consolidates, collects, and centralizes information from several systems and mainframes.

Federation Server

Federation Server gives virtual access to enterprise information, as if it came from a single source, and, at the same time, preserves the integrity of the sources in question. The solution has transparent access to data from disparate sources, including relational, structured, and unstructured data, XML files, messages, and web services.

Information Analyzer

IBM WebSphere Information Analyzer helps to give an understanding of the structure, content, and quality of data sources. It allows a profile to be created for source systems, gives an insight into the systems themselves and monitors data rules.

Information Service Director

Information Service Director enables transformation, federation, and data-quality testing functionality to be published as a service within an SOA. As a result, developers can quickly and easily provide a service consisting of data integration logic that has been developed using the Information Server.

Metadata Server

The Metadata Server provides a metadata repository that is integrated with all the product modules in the Information Server. The metadata infrastructure is designed in such a way that the metadata can be managed more easily, and be used within one SOA by disparate technologies.

QualityStage

This module is responsible for a range of data cleansing and standardization tasks. Users can adapt and correct data (such as addresses or e-mail addresses) using the rules provided. These rules can also be extended. For example, when consolidating customer data it is possible to search for duplicates in the standardized records. The duplicates can be removed or combined if they are incomplete.
