CenterBoard is breaking new ground in combining network and database technologies to fundamentally change the way enterprises integrate data. Augmenting the traditional data storage methodologies of the Enterprise Data Warehouse and Operational Data Store, CenterBoard Integrator is a Virtual Operational Data Store (Virtual ODS) that delivers right-time access to information across and beyond the enterprise as if it were a single database, without copying data. This Virtual ODS offers companies a dramatic paradigm shift in time and money for putting information in the hands of the people who need it to run their business. Whether data resides in relational databases, Excel spreadsheets, legacy mainframe systems, Program Logic Controllers (PLCs) or RFID tags, the CenterBoard Integrator provides front-end tools with a single system view, masking the complexity of access methods and joins across heterogeneous data sources. CenterBoard’s Virtual ODS complements existing data warehouses and allows easy access to multiple data sources as though data were in a single database. Instead of getting the facts they need from costly bulk loads of data in central repositories, users can now gain access to information where it lies, simply and easily.
