Data virtualization enables companies to automatically and securely integrate cloud, SaaS and on-premise applications with speed and simplicity. This benefits application areas like customer relationship management (CRM), where cloud-based solutions such as SalesForce.com® require integration and ongoing data harmonization with on-premise applications – PeopleSoft®, Siebel®, SAP® enterprise resource planning (ERP) and many others. Queplix solutions can be implemented to enable consistent views and manageability of this vital information in days versus months. As a result, customers achieve far greater agility, cost savings and rapid return on their investment than with alternative technologies.

Queplix Data Virtualization Platform Integrates with Facebook, Linkedin, And Google Contacts to Enhance Business Functions with the Power of Social Media

New Application Software Blades in Virtual Data Manager Enable Companies to Integrate Social Media Data with Internal Corporate Systems to Achieve Greater Visibility into Market Dynamics

Queplix™ Corp. (www.queplix.com), a leader in data virtualization, today introduced three new Application Software Blades™ (http://bit.ly/e4wpQf) integrating social media sites and their content. Companies can now securely and automatically capture information from FaceBook®, LinkedIn® and Google® Contacts and harmonize it with their own corporate data. Queplix is the first data virtualization solutions provider to bring packaged social media data integration capability into a standard product family for use in corporate data integration projects.

Amidst the exploding popularity of social media sites, companies typically struggle with how to incorporate and leverage the data within these communities for business gain. With the new social media integration capability, Queplix allows organizations to combine data from social media sources with internal information. This provides a new layer of intelligence to business-supporting functions that benefit from having greater visibility into market opinion and demand.

Unique Application Software Blades enable the Queplix Virtual Data Manager™ (http://bit.ly/eJMkZ9) platform to securely connect to many different source applications and data. The new Application Software Blades for social media can identify and extract key metadata and associated security information from FaceBook, LinkedIn and Google Contacts, then bring it into the Queplix Engine to support data integration with any existing or new corporate applications.

"The value of social media and its potential to enhance corporate initiatives is widely recognized, yet barely tapped," said Mark Cashman, chief executive officer, Queplix. "Adding FaceBook, LinkedIn and Google Contacts to the arsenal of applications and data the Virtual Data Manager can integrate with, allows companies to leverage dynamic social media for a variety of functions, such as customer relationship management, sales force automation, marketing activities, public perception monitoring, and more."

The new social media functionality in Virtual Data Manager showcases Queplix's ability to integrate data from multiple sources and then keep it harmonized as changes occur. The powerful architecture of the Virtual Data Manager drives the application and data integration process. The product can manage a simple integration between two applications or scale easily to integrate many multiple instances of complex applications.

In addition to the new social media blades, Queplix also offers Application Software Blades for customer relationship management applications such as Siebel® (ORCL – NASDAQ), SalesForce.com® (CRM – NYSE), and many other on-premise and cloud-based applications. Additional Application Software Blades will be made available to support business critical functions as Queplix extends its integration capabilities across many applications.

Availability
The Queplix Virtual Data Manager application blades for FaceBook (http://bit.ly/dEHYgM), LinkedIn (http://bit.ly/gtByGD) and Google Contacts (http://bit.ly/fGyYUm) are available for shipment immediately.

Thinking of Master Data Management? Don't Do It - Find Out Why.

A Paradigm Shift in MDM Delivers Substantial Benefits

In this report, Queplix reviews the major challenges associated with the traditional paradigm for Master Data Management (MDM), and introduces a new approach that enables organizations to enhance ROI, speeds implementation time, and reduces risk of project failure.

As outlined by the report, organizations must deal with nine major challenges associated with the current MDM paradigm:
1. "The Big Bang" - unrealistic project scope and time to complete implementation;
2. Manual processes and professional services requirement;
3. Data discovery and gaining visibility into data elements;
4. Complex planning and management;
5. Requirement to transform to MDM model;
6. Painful to achieve synchronization;
7. Cloud architecture and integrating data that does not reside in the data center;
8. Scalability is difficult;
9. Complex maintenance once project is completed.

An alternate approach, called Virtual Master Data Management™ (VMDM), addresses each of these challenges and enables organizations to improve their return on investment, reduce time to implementation and risk of project failure. VMDM brings visibility and enterprise-wide control that simplifies maintenance and enhances compliance and audit. At any level, this new paradigm provides full visibility, from one console, into the state of all aspects of transforms, metadata, metrics on data integration flow and metrics on data integration server performance.

White Paper: Application Software Blades for Easy Application Integration

Simplifying Data Integration with Queplix Application
Software Blades

The Integration Challenge

Your business has multiple essential operational software systems that contain the lifeblood of your business. Five of these systems manage critical data about your customers. One of these is a new system for sales force automation and it lives totally in the cloud. The other four on-premise provide customer support across several different product lines and are the result of earlier merger and acquisition activity in your firm. Your ERP system has valuable data, but you also have a separate manufacturing system that is not well integrated. You have an old human resources system that will not die. You need to get the data out but this task seems elusive against other priorities. You want, but still do not have, consistent data between most of these systems. Your chief financial officer demands more and more of your time each quarter to reconcile and consolidate every gap between the systems. Your pharmaceutical division is wrestling with very complex government pricing systems including the challenge to reconcile the mess that you create with one of a kind pricing across your different business areas. Some of these are systems are held together with complex integrations, mostly one of a kind and barely maintainable old technology that cannot address your requirements. It is a mess.

The Data Management Challenge
On top of all of this, your operating divisions and geographic lines of business have all agreed to try and build out some master data across the organization. This project started in 2007 when operating results were better. Still the project drags on with missed deadlines and significant cost overrun. Despite dozens of meetings and conference calls, everyone has been unable to reach agreement on anything resembling a common data model. The data loaded into the master data management system is almost never consistent with the data in most of the operational software systems. That effort has gone on for years and consulting and integration costs are way over budget. There is a mountain of ETL and data movement links that are highly complex and barely manageable. Yesterday you sat in a meeting where they discussed the metadata catalog that would exist in two years. You could be out of a job in two years.
Unlock your Data with our Application Software Blades™
Your organization is held hostage by your applications and your data. You need to unlock this data and you need to move fast. You need to deploy a rapid solution that integrates your new cloud applications with your legacy applications. You need the flexibility to integrate the next application tomorrow. Queplix Application Software Blades™ gives your QVDM system the power to reach into these applications automatically, get you integrated fast and get your data synchronized through its powerful Data Harmonization™ capability.
