The Challenge

Enterprises have invested substantial time and money building centrally managed data warehouses in order to base their business operations and analytics on a “single version of the truth.”

Once these data warehouses are built, the challenge becomes making the clean master data securely available to dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of users downstream in various departments and divisions.

The expensive, “heavy iron” ETL tools that built the data warehouse are inappropriate for distributing data downstream.

What’s needed instead is a lightweight, flexible data integration solution that is affordable enough to be deployed widely, and open enough to integrate with a broad range of applications, ranging from enterprise applications to custom scripts to desktop tools.

Of course, the data distribution must be secure and compliant with all relevant
data access policies and controls.

It must also support both live and batch data feeds.

The Solution: SnapLogic

The SnapLogic open source data integration framework is a standards-based solution for distributing data from Core IT resources, such as data warehouses, downstream to Edge IT resources, such as local databases, Web applications, desktop applications such as Excel, Wikis, mashups, and more.

Using RESTful Web interfaces, the SnapLogic framework creates a highly flexible solution for downstream data integration.

Key features include:

• A browser-based, drag-and-drop design tool for creating
  snap-together data integration pipelines
• Searchable repositories of reusable resources and pipelines
• Security and compliance through application of existing Web security and authentication systems
• A flexible architecture that allows transformations to be performed at any location in pipeline—at the data source, the data destination, or any hop in between
• A growing family of free connectors for integrating with common data sources, such as databases, XML, and popular SaaS applications such as Salesforce.com
• Easy-to-customize code
