We've created a list of the more common questions that will help you determine if the DataDirect Data Integration Suite is the right solution for you. If you have further questions, please contact us.
What is the DataDirect Data Integration Suite?
The DataDirect Data Integration Suite is a comprehensive solution that provides design and runtime capabilities for standards-based data integration in traditional and SOA environments, with the ability to integrate data from heterogeneous data sources and myriad data formats.
What does the DataDirect Data Integration Suite consist of?
Data Integration Suite includes a comprehensive XML Integrated Development Environment (IDE), providing advanced support for XML and its related technologies; XSL, XSLT, XML Schema, DTD, SOAP, WSDL, XML mapping and XQuery. Data Integration Suite also includes an embeddable software component based on the XQuery and XQJ standards that enables Java applications to access both relational and XML data sources using a single query. At the same time, Data Integration Suite offers high-performance Java™ and .NET XML conversion components that provide bi-directional, programmatic access to virtually any non-XML file including EDI, flat files, and other legacy formats.
