Report Praises Queplix for Innovative Approach to Connecting, Moving, and Harmonizing Data Across Enterprises with High Degree of Automation and Simplicity
In contrast, "Batch oriented bulk data movement ... best served by the traditional ETL model" offered by companies such as Informatica.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 28, 2011 – Queplix™ Corp., a leader in data integration and data management, today announced the availability of a report on data integration solutions by IdealNet, a provider of professional business expertise and technical services to some of the world's largest pharmaceutical, medical device, health insurance and financial services companies. The report, An Analysis of Data Integration Technologies, summarizes the findings of an evaluation comparing ETL and open source solutions, and offers recommendations as to which technologies would be most appropriate based on an organization's data integration requirements.
IdealNet has managed numerous data integration software selection projects, including Master Data Management (MDM), on behalf of multiple customers. In order to ensure "current and comprehensive" results for its clients, IdealNet, Inc. expanded the number of possible solutions to be examined during these selection projects, and was "pleasantly surprised at the variety of new and different approaches which have emerged that improve on the ubiquitous ETL model.
The report evaluates product offerings across 59 areas within 11 specific categories, which represent the most common and most difficult segments of data integration challenges faced by companies today:
· Business Application
· Platform Deployment
· Connectivity to Data Sources
· Synchronization
· Transformation
· Data Movement
· Test, Development and Operations Environments
· Data Modeling
· Data Quality and Data Governance
· Architecture
· Standards
Findings and Recommendations: Queplix the Greatest Surprise of All
The report suggests that data integration and movement between two discrete sources can be well served, perhaps with differing costs and implementation models, by all technologies reviewed. Batch oriented bulk data movement is an area which continues to be best served by the traditional ETL model.
However, the report asserts that once an organization needs to integrate disparate data types (relational, object, on-premise, cloud, nosql) or more than two sources, there are compelling incentives for the use of technology other than ETL, and that "this is where the divergence occurs and where the most telling and interesting results reside."
The following summarizes IdealNet's evaluation between established ETL vendor Informatica®, open source platforms offered by Talend™, Pentaho™, and Apatar™, and "new and different solution vendor" Queplix™.
· Large, Established ETL Vendor: According to IdealNet, Informatica® was selected to represent the ETL segment, as it has long been a standard bearer for ETL and, more recently, has expanded its footprint further into the niche MDM area via its acquisition of Siperian®. "As the gorilla of the bunch, this offering suffers from similar issues as compared to any vendor its age, scope, and size. The firm must continue to support a large user base on varying levels of its technology, while attempting to continue to move its products forward simultaneously. While this situation encapsulates recurring revenue streams via long term customer relationships, it can also easily serve to mute the possibility of significant innovation. Based on our examination, we can see that the Informatica® suite of products continues to lead in core ETL specialty areas, but does, in fact lag behind the others within this study in terms of certain key areas of differentiation."
· New and Different Solution Vendor: The report states that, "Queplix undoubtedly provided the greatest surprise of all" and that "the firm has demonstrated a truly refreshing and innovative approach to connecting, moving, and harmonizing data across enterprises. The high degree of automation and the attendant ease-of-use can potentially offer users significant labor and implementation savings over the use of alternate technologies, perhaps on the order of 50 percent or more. If the integration were to involve 3, 4, 5 or more sources, the savings would potentially be much higher. We were impressed with the fact that the technology base of Queplix has so effectively been structured so as to allow the company to rapidly and effectively expand the scope of what can be done with the product. Even some of the most complex and onerous data tasks are handily placed directly under the control of end users via the product’s 'virtual' architecture coupled with a clean and predictable user interface."
"As a partner of industry-leading life sciences and financial services organizations, IdealNet, Inc. is entrusted with having the best knowledge of available technologies to meet its clients' data integration and data management requirements," said Mark Cashman, CEO, Queplix. " IdealNet is certainly well-positioned to make informed, intelligent purchasing recommendations to its clients to ensure their satisfaction and success. We couldn't be more pleased that it found Queplix to be a solution of choice for companies with more complex data integration challenges looking to spend their project dollars more wisely, and avoid long service engagements, manual processes, and the constant wholesale movement of entire data sets."

Queplix Introduces Data Quality Manager? For Quecloud
The First Data Integration and Data Management Cloud Delivers Advanced Data Quality Functionality with Core Services through a Single Platform - http://bit.ly/k0uXsf
Queplix™ Corp., a leader in data integration and data management, today introduced the new Data Quality Manager™ for QueCloud™, enabling companies to seamlessly create and maintain data consistency throughout the data migration, integration and management lifecycle - all with a single cloud-based platform. Data Quality Manager is also available on-premise with Queplix Virtual Data Manager™. Both products are available today.
QueCloud, the industry's first data integration and data management cloud, securely integrates cloud applications such as Salesforce®, NetSuite®, LinkedIn®, and FaceBook® with unprecedented speed and simplicity. Data Quality Manager addresses the common data quality challenges that create barriers for any data integration effort. As a central component of the QueCloud dashboard, Data Quality Manager is tightly coupled with the solution's core data integration and data management functionality. This is the first time a cloud-based data integration platform service has offered advanced data quality, integration and management in one environment, performing in a simultaneous continuum that eliminates the need to invest in separate tools.
"Today, companies must purchase separate data quality products that run data cleansing exercises in complete isolation from data integration," said Steve Yaskin, chief technology officer, Queplix. "Not only is this more expensive, it's also far less effective since separate products aren't designed to interact with each other. Queplix provides data integration, data management and data quality functionality in a single integration-as-a-service platform. QueCloud and our on-premise product, Virtual Data Manager both now automatically check for and repair inconsistencies as part of the data integration and management process. This saves a tremendous amount of time, money and effort. No other vendor is doing this today."
Data Quality Manager delivers fast, automated and easy access to comprehensive data quality functionality for null fields, duplicate detection, syntax error notification, date range checks and much more in a manner that works seamlessly as part of the data integration and management process. As a result, companies no longer need multiple tools; data is made consistent from the onset of integration, and consistency is maintained throughout the data management lifecycle.
QueCloud is designed for the business user - no SQL programming is needed. The architecture includes a series of intelligent Application Software Blades™ that identify and extract key metadata and associated security information from target applications and move it to the Queplix persistent metadata catalog. Once integrated, data remains easily accessible to any number of additional applications, enabling a high degree of flexibility and scalability. As a result, organizations can dramatically reduce the lifecycle total cost of ownership for data management, by up to 75 percent or more over the cost of a traditional deployment.

Cloud Integration in 2011: QueCloud Ties Cloud and On-Premise via Data Virtualization - http://bit.ly/jiR64S
Integration Developer News posted the following article recently:
Cloud Integration in 2011: QueCloud Ties Cloud and On-Premise via Data Virtualization
Queplix Corp. is shipping its QueCloud integration platform, which uses data
virtualization for sharing data across cloud and on-premise apps. Integration Developer News continues its “Cloud Integration in 2011” series with Queplix CEO Mark Cashman.
By Vance McCarthy
Queplix Corp., a data integration and data management provider, is shipping its QueCloud cloud integration platform. QueCloud is powered by secure data virtualization and metadata technologies, and can integrate multiple on-premise and cloud-based apps.
Queplix is also shipping a tailored integration solution for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud platform, based on the company’s same core technologies.
QueCloud lets companies quickly, easily and securely integrate on-premise data and applications with cloud applications such as Salesforce, NetSuite, LinkedIn, and FaceBook. QueCloud also supports leading on-premise applications including SAP, PeopleSoft, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle CRM, NetSuite and others.
“We have the ability to integrate between the cloud and on-premise, or within either,” Queplix CEO Mark Cashman told IDN. “With MDM (master data management) and [data] harmonization, we know when and where anything is changed in the underlying data structures.”
Driving QueCloud integration capability is Queplix Virtual Data Manager (VDM) data virtualization technology, along with a set of application “blades” or intelligent connectors.
Together, these technologies identify and extract key metadata and associated security information from data stored in applications.
Queplix’ Virtual Data Manager data virtualization technology improves on ETL and avoids SQL programming to virtually harmonize data from diverse on-premise and cloud-based locations.
Queplix blades differ from SaaS connectors found in some cloud appliances because they are multi-directional and can conduct data identification, extraction and integration tasks, Cashman said.
Once captured, information goes into Queplix’s persistent metadata catalog without moving any of the underlying data from its original location, Cashman told IDN. From the catalog, Queplix renders the data easily accessible and shareable to any number of additional applications via the Queplix Engine, he added.
Another Queplix technology attracting attention from data architects is Virtual Data Viewer, Cashman said. The Queplix VDV provides an object-oriented view of a wide range of data formats, including XML, CSV, spreadsheets and RDMBS. Data architects can also see relationships between data and data models used in each format, and even the relationships between different data, he added.
“Data architects eyes popped when they could understand where all their data was in this way,” Cashman told IDN. “All this is letting them combine fields and sources across different data sets to create a ‘virtual entity’ of a customer, amassed from all the different customer records.”
Other QueCloud features include:
· A simple UI designed to allow business users to employ cloud integration
· Data for customer, product, vendor, HR and financial information can be aligned easily and automatically across multiple sources.
· Tools for data governance, including data dictionary, data quality and data integration
· Can scale to meet demands of largest enterprise
· Maintains consistency between data across multiple applications using automated data synchronization.
Queplix Solution for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud
Queplix’s Virtual Data Manager (VDM) SuiteApp for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud, available now, automates integration between NetSuite and on-premise apps or other SaaS services. Queplix’s SuiteApp quickly integrates NetSuite’s SuiteCloud SaaS applications for accounting, ERP, CRM and e-commerce, as well as cloud-based tools and infrastructure.
Core Queplix technologies also lay at the heart of the Queplix SuiteApp for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud. Notably, NetSuite engineers notice a convergence between Queplix’ approach and the underlying NetSuite’s data virtualization architecture for cloud.
“Queplix is built using some of the same principles as NetSuite -- ease and speed of deployment, a rich user experience, and the flexibility of a cloud-based approach,” said Guido Haarmans, NetSuite’s vice president for developer programs and business development. In specific, NetSuite harmonizes data to maintain user interface consistency, and it lets NetSuite customers use their existing security models, he added.

QueCloud lets companies quickly, easily and securely integrate on-premise data and applications with cloud applications such as Salesforce, NetSuite, LinkedIn, and FaceBook. QueCloud also supports leading on-premise applications including SAP, PeopleSoft, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle CRM, NetSuite and others.
“We have the ability to integrate between the cloud and on-premise, or within either,” Queplix CEO Mark Cashman told IDN. “With MDM (master data management) and [data] harmonization, we know when and where anything is changed in the underlying data structures.”
Driving QueCloud integration capability is Queplix Virtual Data Manager (VDM) data virtualization technology, along with a set of application “blades” or intelligent connectors.
Together, these technologies identify and extract key metadata and associated security information from data stored in applications.
Queplix’ Virtual Data Manager data virtualization technology improves on ETL and avoids SQL programming to virtually harmonize data from diverse on-premise and cloud-based locations.
Queplix blades differ from SaaS connectors found in some cloud appliances because they are multi-directional and can conduct data identification, extraction and integration tasks, Cashman said.
Once captured, information goes into Queplix’s persistent metadata catalog without moving any of the underlying data from its original location, Cashman told IDN. From the catalog, Queplix renders the data easily accessible and shareable to any number of additional applications via the Queplix Engine, he added.
Another Queplix technology attracting attention from data architects is Virtual Data Viewer, Cashman said. The Queplix VDV provides an object-oriented view of a wide range of data formats, including XML, CSV, spreadsheets and RDMBS. Data architects can also see relationships between data and data models used in each format, and even the relationships between different data, he added.
“Data architects eyes popped when they could understand where all their data was in this way,” Cashman told IDN. “All this is letting them combine fields and sources across different data sets to create a ‘virtual entity’ of a customer, amassed from all the different customer records.”
Other QueCloud features include:
· A simple UI designed to allow business users to employ cloud integration
· Data for customer, product, vendor, HR and financial information can be aligned easily and automatically across multiple sources.
· Tools for data governance, including data dictionary, data quality and data integration
· Can scale to meet demands of largest enterprise
· Maintains consistency between data across multiple applications using automated data synchronization.
Queplix Solution for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud
Queplix’s Virtual Data Manager (VDM) SuiteApp for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud, available now, automates integration between NetSuite and on-premise apps or other SaaS services. Queplix’s SuiteApp quickly integrates NetSuite’s SuiteCloud SaaS applications for accounting, ERP, CRM and e-commerce, as well as cloud-based tools and infrastructure.
Core Queplix technologies also lay at the heart of the Queplix SuiteApp for NetSuite’s SuiteCloud. Notably, NetSuite engineers notice a convergence between Queplix’ approach and the underlying NetSuite’s data virtualization architecture for cloud.
“Queplix is built using some of the same principles as NetSuite -- ease and speed of deployment, a rich user experience, and the flexibility of a cloud-based approach,” said Guido Haarmans, NetSuite’s vice president for developer programs and business development. In specific, NetSuite harmonizes data to maintain user interface consistency, and it lets NetSuite customers use their existing security models, he added.

Queplix Launches Cloud Service to Integrate Cloud Systems - http://bit.ly/lUFLzd
eWEEK posted the following article recently:
Queplix Launches Cloud Service to Integrate Cloud Systems
The company launched a service called QueCloud, which is a cloud application that securely integrates—you guessed it—cloud applications, such as Salesforce, NetSuite, and LinkedIn.
Before long, we'll be able to get any type of IT service through a cloud-based connection. In fact, we're virtually at that point now—and modern-era cloud services are still only toddlers at 5 years old or less.
Data integration and management software maker Queplix, a relatively new name in the cloud scene, is a good example of where all this is going.
The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company has launched a service called QueCloud, which is a cloud application that securely integrates—you guessed it—cloud applications, such as Salesforce, NetSuite, LinkedIn and Facebook, to their systems without needing an IT person to write scripts.
"Our mission is to turn capex [costs] into opex," Queplix CEO Mark Cashman told eWEEK. "We can take the data from cloud-based applications or even on-premise apps, because we have a persistent metadata storage. We don't physically retain a copy of the data itself; we are just capable of moving it from Point A to Point B using something we call Data Harmonization, our own automated data-synchronization process.
"We don't care where your data exists; we're providing you with a wonderful object-oriented user interface which allows you to move your data without having to program SQL and write scripts to do that. And the data resides with the application or the supporting database for that application."
Configures Intelligent Blades
Queplix Virtual Data Manager, the company's flagship product, runs the QueCloud application and data-integration process. The software enables the configuration of a series of intelligent Application Software Blades that identify and extract key data and associated security information from many different target applications, such as Salesforce, Google Apps, Amazon and others.
The blades identify and extract metadata from the data stored within these applications, then bring it into the Queplix Engine to support data integration with other applications, Cashman said.
Once applications are integrated, QueCloud then keeps customer, product and financial data consistent between applications—even legacy applications, such as SAP PeopleSoft—with what Queplix calls Data Harmonization, its own automated data-synchronization process, Cashman said. QueCloud can scale up to the largest enterprise, or more cost effectively for small or medium businesses, he said.
QueCloud, which was introduced May 8 at NetSuite's SuiteWorld in San Francisco, is available now.
Queplix, founded in 2004 as a database tools provider but reset in 2009 to do virtualization services, has customers that include The Home Depot, Homesite and Sony Ericsson.

MDM and the Big Bang - http://bit.ly/eOjIlN
Author: Michael Zuckerman, CMO, Queplix
Perhaps the biggest problem to consume organizations over the past few years was to target the implementation of MDM as the Big Bang deliverable. The Big Bang deliverable is any MDM project where the goal of the project is the total integration of all consuming operational systems by one date. I am personally not aware of a single project where this goal was achieved without delay for one reason or another. Not one. I visit many accounts and I always ask the question and I almost always get the same answer. I’m not asking for the formal reference and the customer story that the vendor worked with a star customer or two. I am asking members on various project teams about their perceptions. Given the multi-year nature of the current MDM paradigm, the delay or slip in reaching the Big Bang delivery was typical. This left many project teams holding the reins on an expensive and challenged project at a time, in 2009, when most organizations were focusing even more on economic efficiency and incremental, successful product delivery.
The challenge of the big bang was evident even a few years ago. Vendors and the community at large tried to segment and differentiate the project down to more manageable components. The most successful projects that surfaced were to align the activities by customer and product. Product information management (the catalog) and customer information management emerged. Unfortunately, vendors went down various paths that have now resulted in different systems and even technologies to address these situations. Some have tried to build the product catalog into a bigger application. This additional complexity and differentiation, although scope has been reduced, just seems to give implementing organizations an opportunity to experience the big bang twice. They are both still complex, both global in implementation, and both difficult. The risk is still considerable.
Of course, two different projects run the risk of new challenges. Now you have two different systems, with potentially two varying architectures, two sets of administration, two sets of consultants – pretty much two sets of everything. Think about it. Now you also have the need, potentially, for multiple and potentially disparate integrations to the same systems for two different process integrations. In some ways it makes more sense, and in some ways even less sense. The systems used should probably be the same. There needs to be scalable components. But perhaps the segmentation globally by product and by customer does not really solve the organizational problem best without a common architecture.
The Big Bang remains contrary to all that we have learned from experience. The very nature of software development has moved towards iterative development – that of smaller and even smaller components of rapidly prototyped functionality delivery.
Today most development projects try to build code in “Agile®” slices, with rapid iterative development and prototyping. The smaller the deliverable the better and more predictable the results. Yet MDM implementation teams took most of the most complex processes and integrations possible. The project teams wrapped this up with single-minded and all-encompassing deliverables. Every place in software development, the goal is to eliminate the big bang in software deliverables. The paradigm for MDM often remains in sharp contrast to this.
Conceptually, to the user community, the endpoint is really what they perceive as the only value point. The meaningful deliverable is the endpoint because that is where most of the return on investment sits—not all of it, but most of it. Yes, you can get some data quality benefits before the project is complete. Yes, depending on your architecture you can get the benefits of operational system alignment. But that does not justify the millions spent. Your senior management team and global organization is really only focused on the complete integration and synchronization of data as a successful endpoint. They want the right data propagated the right way in all of their key operational systems. They want all data in repositories where they can learn from it using business intelligence tools. Anything less won’t measure up as success.
