Syncsort Intros High-Performance Data Transformation Product

Syncsort Inc introduced DMExpress at The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI) conference. DMExpress is Syncsort's newest product, designed to provide high-performance data transformation. DMExpress minimizes elapsed time for processing high data volumes, providing a powerful but easy-to-use solution for difficult data management and application performance issues businesses face today.

DMExpress leverages Syncsort's 35 years of research and development in high-performance software. The technology built into DMExpress has been successfully implemented in 12,000 sites worldwide and in all industry sectors. DMExpress minimizes the elapsed time of many data-intensive applications by integrating patented algorithms, state-of-the-art parallel processing technology and dynamic optimization. It also optimizes processing performance by exploiting the architecture and using the best I/O method available. This reduces CPU, memory and disk resource usage, allowing applications to be deployed on significantly smaller hardware systems, in turn lowering hardware costs considerably.

DMExpress has an advanced, easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) that makes application development fast and easy. This decreases the time needed to deploy applications as well as the programming skill level required, thus maximizing productivity and reducing staffing costs. DMExpress is scalable, easily growing and adapting as requirements change, working in small or large environments, and anything in between. It runs from a workstation, or 4-CPU servers, or a 64-CPU Superdome, and it deploys on Windows, Linux and UNIX.

Several early users have reported successful results with their use of the product. AC Neilson has been using DMExpress in production for over six months. Technical Director Michael Benillouch stated, "When we started developing our data factory application, called New Factory, we knew that performance was going to be an issue. We searched for a solution that could handle the high volume of data we were processing in the shortest amount of time. After considering ETL software from major vendors, we selected DMExpress. DMExpress easily integrated into New Factory's distributed computing framework and provided us with the outstanding results we needed."

"With the introduction of DMExpress, Syncsort is continuing a tradition of more than 35 years of excellence in producing high-performance software," said Dan Regan, Syncsort's executive vice president. "The technology in DMExpress has been tested by thousands of users and found to be the best product available to minimize elapsed time in data intensive processes. We are confident that there is a large market that is looking specifically for this category of product."
