What is Complex Data

Unstructured Data
• No specific data description
• Word documents, Spreadsheets, PDF,
E-mail, Reports, Web pages, Print Streams

Semi-Structured Data
• Data defined by a specification,
but inconsistently adhered to
• Includes proprietary, industry standards
• Complex COBOL copybooks
• AL3, EDI.X12, EDIFACT
• ACH, BAI, SWIFT, etc.

Complex Structured Data COBOL

• Large XML Schemas
(FpML, ISO20022, ACORD, Proprietary)
• Meta-data models (e.g., ontologies)

Why B2B Data Transformation?

Productivity
• Any-To-Any, Codeless environment
• Parse by Example – Creating Transformation projects
based on sample input and visual features/feedbacks.
• Parse by Specification – Generating transformation
Projects out of a mapping specification documents
• Visual feedbacks and full panes interaction for ease of
maintenance and debugging.
• Vertical content

Flexibility
• Implement once deploy anywhere
• Seamless integration into EAI, ETL, SOA Platforms

Performance
• High-performance runtime - Linear Scalability and High
Throughput
