Problem
SOA is quickly becoming the preferred approach for systems implementation and integration. But SOA involves more than just how business services and applications are deployed and interact with each other — it also involves how they interact with data. Because SOA enables a loose coupling of systems, a deeper level of ‘trust’ is required regarding the meaning, completeness, and validity of the data they share. Since few source systems guarantee a high level of data consistency and reliability, a new method must be found to insulate higher level applications and business services from data that may be inconsistent or of unknown quality.
Solution
The DataLens System can be deployed to ensure that only reliable data — complete, consistent and correct — is passed between systems. It can be called as a service from any business application and take data in any form, standard, or structure and deliver it in accordance with the requirements of the business application.
