DataFlux Flexes Integration
blending data quality and integration technologies, SAS Institute subsidiary DataFlux last week made its Data Quality Integration Solution 7 available. The platform was built to discover, integrate, and manage business information residing in multiple data sources. The package includes DataFlux’s dfPower Studio, which is used to design workflows and establish data requirements, and was enhanced to grant data stewards more control over the data quality process. When used in conjunction with the DataFlux Integration Server, dfPower enables customers to use batch processing to standardize and verify data and ultimately implement business logic through on-demand and SOA models.
