Apatar Debuts Open Source On-Demand Data Integration Offering At LinuxWorld
Alex Khizhnyak, Apatar Evangelist, will present Apatar Enterprise Data Mashups, an open source ETL software application at Bynet 2.0, the first Belarusian Web 2.0 conference in Minsk, Belarus
( EMAILWIRE.COM, August 03, 2007 ) Chicopee, MA - Apatar, Inc., today announced that it will showcase Apatar Enterprise Data Mashups�, the world�s first open source on-demand data integration software tools and services at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, being held August 6-9, 2007, in San Francisco, CA (News - Alert). Apatar Enterprise Data Mashups is a new product for aggregating and reading RSS content within the enterprise. Apatar enables its users to easily link information between files (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, CSV/TXT files), databases (such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL, Oracle), applications (Salesforce.com (News - Alert), SugarCRM), and the top Web 2.0 destinations (Flickr, Amazon S3).
"Apatar is creating a shift in the way we look at data,� said Deepak Singh, Blogger-in-residence at TechBizMedia.com. "With its on-demand data integration tools working together with complimentary RSS aggregation services Apatar will go a long way towards commoditizing information integration between applications, databases across the enterprise traditionally suffering from information integration issues among heterogeneous systems."
"Before Apatar, there were many proprietary vendors offering data integration solutions to the enterprise marketplace. In many cases they were not cost effective. Apatar entered this market as an open source vendor offering on-demand data integration coupled with product support and services at a much lower cost," said Krishnan Subramanian, Blogger-in-residence at TechBizMedia.com. "Even though Apatar software is designed as a toolset for developers, it does not require manual coding and may receive adoption among business users."
"In today�s enterprises, most data integration projects never get built. The ROI on these small projects is simply too low to justify bringing expensive middleware ," said Renat Khasanshyn, Founder and CEO of Apatar, Inc. "As the momentum for on-demand solutions continues to grow, business users are looking for applications that are easy to use. Apatar brings the ease of drag-and-drop data integration to non-technician users within companies who previously found proprietary data integration, ETL, and EAI software tools expensive and difficult to implement."
LinuxWorld is the premier event for the Linux and open source community, bringing together industry leaders shaping the future of new enterprise technology in the largest single gathering of business and technical leaders deploying Linux and open source solutions.Attendees can register for a free exhibit hall pass to LinuxWorld Conference & Expo on or before August 5, 2007 at www.linuxworldexpo.com/register. Exhibit hall passes are $50 thereafter. The pass provides attendees with access to the keynote addresses, feature presentations, birds-of-a-feather meetings and the exhibit hall floor.

Users install a visual job designer application to create integration jobs called DataMaps, link data between the source(s) and the target(s), and schedule one-time or recurring data transformations. Imagine this capability fits cleanly and quickly into your projects. You've just imagined what Apatar can do for you.
