What is nTegrator

nTegrator is software that facilitates rapid application implementation using data in any form, drawn from databases with any structure, from physical location.

nTegrator can use top-down application definition, top-down design, and top-down implementation. It uses industry standard XML for data manipulation and messaging and has built-in multi-point security. A patent has been applied for the unique way in which the software permits dropping in of new functions without recompilation of code.

Some components of nTegrator application systems can be developed by any end user, some can be developed by technically literate end users and  some require programming knowledge. Once the components have been developed, nTegrator allows business users to assemble and disassemble business functionality without the intervention of traditional IT organizations

Why nTegrator is needed

There are many possible types of systems in a typical organization:

• Legacy applications using flat files, mainframe, and other old data storage methods.

• In-house applications using Oracle, Sybase, DB2 and other relational systems accessible through standard SQL queries.
• Packaged applications such as SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle and Siebel, each with their own application layer data calls and query method.
• On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), data mining and data warehouse systems, each with potentially different data layouts and access methods.
• Web servers, containing enormous amounts of information in flat files, HTML, XML and other data types.

To provide access to and integration of these systems, in a way that will provide accurate and timely help to management, companies need a system that provides two important components:

• access to heterogeneous data sources; and
• efficient integration and transformation of that data for specific business needs.

Accessing the data is a complex problem. Standards such as SQL, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and other older techniques have failed to keep up with the rapidly changing variety of data sources. Each piece or type of data could be accessed, but merging the disparate sources remains difficult.

To provide tomorrow’s enterprise with a solution to the growing complexity requires a new solution for integrating information and presenting it to many stakeholders. nTegrator is such a solution that bridges the gap from data sources to the end user.
