Data Integration Platform

Pervasive Data Integration Platform for SMB to Large Enterprises

Every enterprise, no matter the size, has information management needs: compliance requirements (SOX, HIPAA), achieving high level views of the business (BI, MDM), integrating data segregated in application silos (mergers and acquisitions). Data Integration projects offer the potential to integrate business data and enhance the value of information stored in a variety of sources: relational databases, applications, EDI, flat files, XML, and even unstructured files. To remain competitive, companies must seamlessly connect with customers, suppliers, and vendors outside the firewall, and internal business units inside the firewall. These are data integration problems.

Regardless of the type of integration your company needs, Pervasive offers cost-effective interactive flow of data between sources throughout the organization. Whether designing integration processes for data warehouse loading, converting data between formats, deploying complex application integration scenarios, or integrating applications both on-premises and in the cloud, Pervasive Data Integrator includes numerous foundation features that accelerate the creation of flexible integration solutions. All Pervasive Data Integrator components feature:

  • Universal CONNECT! – out-of-the-box connectivity to thousands of data sources, plus extensibility to new sources
  • Designer - an easy-to-use web UI designed so that business analysts can design work flows and source maps
  • Manager - a CVS that allows IT to easily deploy, manage, roll-back and monitor on-prem and cloud integrations
  • Admin - IT manages governance policies, backup and retention, users role access from anywhere on the web
  • Java component framework, providing developers with high extensibility

Match, Cluster, and Merge Duplicates

Pervasive Data MatchMerge™

Handling duplicate data is a key step in any integration of multiple sources. Advanced and tunable algorithms in Pervasive Data MatchMerge allow you to identify potentially duplicate data and cluster it. You can set your own matching thresholds for automatic de-duping. For the records that require a human eye to discern, an intuitive interface allows you to easily choose which pieces of which records to use to assemble a single master record. If you have your own preferred de-duping interface, Pervasive can do the high speed matching and clustering, and pass you just the records that need merging by a person. See the time and labor-saving advantages for yourself of using the fastest matching engine on the planet.

  • Extremely fast, highly parallel engine that scales even for very large data sets
  • Rich, context-filled user interface for merging duplicates
  • Can match on any combination of fields in data sets: name, address, company, product name, etc.
  • Data fields compared using industry standard and customizable algorithms
  • Multiple supported encoding methods
  • Easy property configuration management to fine-tune the matching parameters
  • Analysis output contains tagged results that facilitates downstream processing or additional remediation
  • Matching engine can be automated, or invoked from a process workflow

Verify and Enhance Data

Plug in Content Libraries to Complete the Data Picture

Data quality isn’t just about solving for inaccurate, inconsistent and duplicate data. When you need to append, update, or cleanse data, use Pervasive partners' content libraries. The additional data can augment the power of Pervasive Data MatchMerge to find and confirm duplicate records.

Address verification, powered by recognized address content library experts like Melissa Data and Experian QAS, helps you verify that your customer, vendor, and supplier addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses are valid and correct by checking each one against huge databases of information.

Licensed tables from institutions like USPS, Canada Post, Dun & Bradstreet, Advo, Experion, Verizon, etc. give the latest up-to-date information allowing address validation clear to the delivery point. Connecting to this validation service is as simple as running an install.

Integrating any partner or proprietary content library means no more "garbage in." As your data is extracted and profiled, Pervasive's integration process can access any external content to fill in the gaps and enrich your data. Fill out incomplete addresses, add GEO codes to auto-assign accounts to reps, fix bad SKUs, add NAICS or DUNS codes, basically anything you need to complete your data BEFORE inserting it into your final destination.

Map and Transform Data

Pervasive Data Integrator™ - Map Designer

The basics of any integration project are connecting to the source, connecting to the target, and mapping - matching up data from the source with the fields it needs to go to in the target. Since no two file types, applications, or databases store their data in the same way, you’ll also need to transform the data to match the new requirements. Pervasive Universal CONNECT! means that connecting to a wide variety of sources and targets is as simple as a few mouse clicks, and even hard-to-reach applications are accessible. Pervasive Map Designer shortens the learning curve and reduces overall project costs by making mapping just as straightforward:

  • Drag-and-drop graphical user interface for mapping and transformations
  • Rich set of pre-built functions with wizards for transforming data
  • Name and address parsing and scrubbing
  • Immediate, in place testing and debugging of transformations
  • Complete rules definition for complex data aggregation and transformation, including updates to multiple targets in one pass
  • Event-driven transformation model that gives flexibility for handling any transformation requirement
  • Rich facilities for error-logging, record reject, and execution flow control
  • Mapping and transformation of multi-record type data, and multiple tables simultaneously
  • Access to data—including XML and text—over HTTP/HTTPS, TCP, and FTP/FTPS
  • Reusable, component-based integration design
  • Integration to ETL data into data warehouse applications and business intelligence tools. For analytical data warehouse solutions to meet your business intelligence objectives, visit here.

Design Metadata Schemas

Pervasive Data Integrator™ - Designing DataSet Schemas

Data, without the structure that describes it, can become unreadable and unusable. If the data has structural information already stored, the Pervasive schema designers can frequently capture that immediately. When data lacks structure, schema designers allow you in a point and click visual format to define structural schemas from a wide variety of sources:

  • standard database schemas
  • binary formats, COBOL structures, and other legacy file formats
  • unstructured data sets such as online or print file reports, email, …
  • electronic messages (standards-based messages such as EDI or SWIFT)
