DataDirect Data Integration Suite Product Benefits

DataDirect Data Integration Suite offers a strong set of technical features, and this comprehensive solution also delivers a number of attractive ‘bottom-line’ benefits that positively impact IT operations, and as a result, your entire organization. Working alongside one another, DataDirect Stylus Studio® XML Enterprise Suite, DataDirect XQuery®, and DataDirect XML Converters™ provide a highly flexible, yet efficient development environment that dramatically enhances developer productivity, reduces IT development costs, decreases time-to-deployment for mission-critical data integration initiatives, and increases responsiveness to ever-evolving business requirements.

Developer Productivity

To optimize both tactical and strategic data integration initiatives, DataDirect Stylus Studio automates and accelerates the XML development process through the use of powerful XML editors that support a variety of drag-and-drop editing views. Stylus Studio’s many developer features also deliver productivity gains with the use of code generation and debugging tools, as well as XML conversion utilities that automate commonly performed developer tasks.

Standards-Based Flexibility

Using DataDirect XQuery means that your applications can run on any Java platform, accessing data from all major relational databases, using any Web server or application server, or using no server at all. The product suite includes an easily embeddable Java component that implements XQuery 1.0 and the XQuery API for Java (XQJ). Also included in the data integration product suite are DataDirect XML Converters, embeddable Java and .NET components that provide bi-directional conversion between XML and non-XML data sources. They require no other product or application server, and have no server of their own.

Performance and Scalability

DataDirect Stylus Studio has a long history of first-to-market achievements, and is by far the leading industry innovator in new XQuery tools and updated standards compliance. But recognizing that enterprise XML applications eventually need to be deployed to production environments that demand high scalability, Stylus Studio further pushes innovation with integrated support for DataDirect XML Converters — high-speed native Java and .NET components that expose a data conversion API that enable you to read and write any legacy data as XML from your Java or .NET programs or from within your XSLT or XQuery applications.

Bottom-Line Value

With enhanced IT developer productivity, deployment flexibility, and proven performance, DataDirect Data Integration Suite delivers efficiency and cost-effectiveness in both tactical and strategic data integration initiatives. In short, our robust data integration product feature set ensures immediate return on investment with rapid application development, ease of deployment, reduced IT labor and software costs, and increased responsiveness to ever-evolving business requirements. All this in a very small software footprint that does not tie you into a more expensive software platform.
