Changing the Economics of Data Integration: Exeros DataMapper 2.0 Radically Accelerates the Discovery of Data Relationships

Automated Process Provides Faster, Easier Way to Identify Data Relationships and Discover How Data Flows Through an Organization; Establishes the Underpinnings for Enterprise Data Governance --

SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 10 -- Exeros(TM), Inc., an innovator in data mapping and automated data relationship discovery software, today announced the immediate availability of Exeros DataMapper(TM) 2.0. As the only software product on the market today that analyzes data values to automate the discovery of data relationships and data inconsistencies between structured datasets, DataMapper 2.0 radically reduces the risk, cost and time required for data governance and data integration projects.

"Exeros DataMapper is the first tool we've encountered that eliminates the number one obstacle in successful data governance and integration deployment -- data relationship discovery and mapping," said Tom Quintal, chief operating officer, Logan Britton. "We can now go into our projects planning for when they will be deployed, not if they will be deployed."

The new features in DataMapper 2.0 increase automatic discovery coverage to over 80 percent of the complex transformations that must be identified in the course of any data integration project. Initial customer projects show that this capability reduces the time to deployment by over five times. Additionally, DataMapper 2.0 enables customers, for the first time, to fully identify the location of sensitive data and how it flows through the enterprise, so they can confidently complete enterprise data governance projects to ensure regulatory compliance and business efficiency.

"Intellectual property is the single most valuable and irreplaceable resource at any enterprise," said Michael Dortch, principal business analyst and IT infrastructure management practice leader, Robert Frances Group. "Whether due to regulatory compliance or litigation requirements, every enterprise is under increasing pressure to govern that resource effectively and transparently. But effective governance requires knowing where sensitive data resides, who has access to it, how it traverses the organization, and how it relates to other data -- questions many organizations simply cannot answer. Solutions such as Exeros DataMapper make effective data governance feasible, by automating the discovery process that answers these critical questions."

Exeros DataMapper 2.0 discovers data relationships the same way data analysts do in the real world -- by examining data values. However, while analysts typically use spreadsheets and highlighters to discover data relationships, DataMapper does it automatically in a fraction of the time.

DataMapper delivers comprehensive and accurate data mappings through an intuitive user interface that requires minimal training for data analysts. Exeros DataMapper is used by companies to lower the risk and speed the deployment of sensitive data flow discovery, master data management, hand-code-to-ETL (extract, transform, load) migration and legacy data migration projects, saving companies thousands of data analyst hours and millions of dollars.

In addition to a significant increase in the percentage of transformations that are discovered automatically, DataMapper 2.0 discovers the exceptions and finds the "hidden" inconsistencies in data across multiple systems and flags errors that ultimately cause significant business issues. DataMapper 2.0 includes new algorithms that discover multi-nested case statements between data sets.

"Most projects requiring the discovery, mapping and analysis of data are so labor intensive and costly that a large number of them collapse under their own weight or are simply abandoned," said Todd Goldman, vice president of marketing, Exeros, Inc. "Exeros DataMapper literally changes the economics of data integration by radically reducing the time and cost involved with discovery, mapping and analysis. This reduces project risk and frees organizations to dedicate resources to the strategic elements of the project, rather than tactical analysis."

Exeros DataMapper 2.0 is available directly from Exeros and from resellers such as IntoDQ and Management Information Principles.
