Data Integration

When working on a data integration project, the use of standard ODBC (Open Database Compliant) links and OPC Servers and Clients (Ole for Process Control) allow data engines to communicate with other data systems.

If data sources do not comply with ODBC standards or do not allow a connection through COM, DCOM, OPC, XML, or DDE, then we have to work around these limitations to design flat file transfers in ASCII, CSV, or DAT format.

ODBC, OPC, DDE, XML, and other data transfer tools allow us to integrate data in and out of several types of software packages regardless of the vendor or application. These software tools allow us to link different systems together for centralized data storage or to facilitate increased information sharing across applications.

All of our solutions are deployed with "one-time data entry" concepts in mind so that the information is only typed in one time, and then available to all through secure connections to the corporate Intranet system. We can quickly help you identify redundant data entry tasks, and eliminate wasted time and labor.

Once the data is in a back-end database, we can then script that data out, and export it in the right format so that the data then automatically feeds other dependent systems like accounting, engineering, and marketing software packages.
