Features Imagine a client-server environment with limitless, high quality, high availability information storage. Then, imagine a server component that does not have, nor will ever need, any special programming to support its clients, regardless of what they request, what programming languages they use, or whether they are traditional or Web-enabled. Next, imagine that your data resides on your most secure, fault-tolerant computer, while your users access the data from your most available, friendliest computers. Now, stop imagining. As data management requirements change, reduced development time translates into faster response to users needs and business objectives.
Organizations require information to survive.
Data security, accuracy, accessibility, and timeliness must be constantly addressed. As an organization's dependence upon its data grows, so grows the data's complexity, and so grows the effort to collect, maintain, manipulate, and deliver the data. With the increasing demand for information, the business cases for staff reduction, and the current shortfall of experienced data processing professionals, supporting end user requirements is an extreme concern to information technologists. Security is a critical issue for accessing confidential corporate data. Transparent translation frees you from the worries of differing data types, allowing you to focus on the application, not the data.
