We've succeeded and today Linguateq's patented technology is capable of receiving data from any source and translating that data to match any destination format. Factor in the increasing number of company mergers we're seeing today, and the problem is further multiplied. Historically, integration projects have been undertaken only at a very high time and dollar cost. Those days are over. The final key element, interoperability, has always been the most difficult obstacle to system communication.
Interoperability means more than simply connecting things.
It means that the receiving system must be able to understand the syntax and semantics of the sending system down to the bit level. If there is not complete agreement, the transaction between the two systems will be lost. Traditionally, network element manufacturers have not given much thought to their product's compatibility with a customer's support infrastructure. The marketplace has been dominated by only a few companies, and each company has simply provided its own proprietary interface formats. When there was a need for integration on the customer's side, that problem was left for the customer to solve.
