Liaison offers free download of Contivo

ATLANTA, USA: Liaison Technologies Inc., a global provider of integration and data management services and solutions, is providing a free 14-day evaluation copy of its market leading Contivo Analyst software. Contivo Analyst software can be downloaded free from its Web site.

Data transformation and mapping represents an enormous and costly challenge. Today’s business-to-business (B2B), enterprise application integration (EAI), service oriented architecture (SOA) and extensive markup language (XML) integration projects all require an effective information architecture to manage complex data.

Liaison’s Contivo Analyst is a graphical mapping design tool that allows users to quickly build integration maps and generate Java or Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) code that can run within almost any of the execution engines on the market today. This unique capability allows customers of Liaison’s Contivo software to gain true platform independence. Users maintain control and portability of their business logic and mapping intellectual property.

Using Contivo Analyst in conjunction with popular SOA appliances, B2B gateways, or SOA integration platforms can improve mapping efficiency by as much as 50 percent and support extremely complex data transformations. Maps generated using Contivo Analyst are also efficient in their use of system resources and execute more quickly than most native maps developed using embedded platform mapping tools.

“We’re proud to offer customers a chance to use Contivo Analyst,” said Larry Mieldezis, Liaison’s COO. “Where most B2B gateway and EAI platforms have focused their research and development dollars on integration adapters, business process management and business activity monitoring functionality, Contivo Analyst directly addresses mapping efficiency and portability.”

Originally invested in by a number of well-established EAI software companies, Contivo solutions complement most integration platforms. Recently enhanced to include Cobol Copybook importing, extensive reporting, and a Map Upgrade Wizard, Contivo Analyst helps maximize the value of dollars invested in platforms like BEA, TIBCO and webMethods.

Liaison recently announced its acquisition of Contivo, making it the only integration services provider to offer both full-service integration outsourcing and platform-independent data transformation. Liaison offers mapping services and software for all integration projects.
