A Solution for your Business
Give a personal touch to your databases
Information is one of the most important assets in a company. Organizing data into databases to quickly access information is always complex. It's even more complex when many different applications must share the same data; as a result the organization of a database for one application may appear to be very poor for others.
All your applications are actually based on the information classification and consequently this a priori structure of data access compels you to conform to it. Databases incompatibility and rigidity can prevent your company from evolving as you would like.
Willing to evolve quickly, with flexibility? Willing to take into account the information accessible through Internet and adapt your business to the new challenges of e-business? With Infobjects, you are in good Company! Because we know that technology alone has never solved problems for anyone, Infobjects dedicates its own resources and the resources of its partners to deliver the solution you need. To build a solution, knowledge and experience must be combined with technology in a deliberate move towards clearly identified objectives.
Combining the ObjectDRIVER technology with the skills of Infobjects and its partners, you will give a personal touch to your databases ; whether you are facing an information systems merging problem, or trying to connect your old database to new e-commerce tools, Infobjects can help you do this better and faster. With support for most of the relational databases available on the market and support for HTML and XML data description languages, Infobjects will help you enter the e-business era.
Value Added Resellers and Systems Integrators
Infobjects has set up ObjectDRIVER, one of the most performing tool for databases and applications design. ObjectDRIVER allows to handle information sources without taking care of their initial structure.
Through ObjectDRIVER you can not only read into the databases to retrieve information and present it in an object form, but you can also perform any request such as Select, Insert, Delete or Update, to write into and update the databases. Writing into databases through ObjectDRIVER is one of the key features that makes the difference.
Whether you want to integrate independent and heterogeneous data sources, migrate from a Database Management System to another, introduce persistence in the information or get an homogeneous vision of heterogeneous information, ObjectDRIVER will really modify your habit and simplify the problem.
Whatever is the solution you are developing for your customers (e-business, e-commerce, data-mining, persistence...) or the service you are providing (re-engineering, IS-Integration, databases migrations...), choosing a 3-tiers architecture built around ObjectDRIVER will help your Company save development resources, time and money.
With a 3-tiers architecture built around ObjectDRIVER, Applications become independent from Databases. Reorganizing the information structure can be done whenever needed without changing a line of code in the applications, as well as modifying applications can be done without impacting the databases organization. Thanks to the ObjectDRIVER's mapping scheme, applications can work in total synergy with data repositories.

E-commerce is strategic to your business but your data sources is not adapted to new applications and new technologies. You know the information you are looking for is available on the web but you don't know how to get it quickly ? ObjectDRIVER is the solution you need to easily connect your data bases to the e-commerce tools and to get the right information at the right time. Thanks to the ObjectDRIVER's scheme of correspondences ; whatever are the structures or the organizations of your databases, ObjectDRIVER transforms your repositories into a single and coherent virtual representation, adapted to e-commerce. More, ObjectDRIVER can parse HTML pages to gather the information you are looking for and build the objects that you or your applications need to work. No need to spend time surfing the web. ObjectDRIVER can do it for you... With ObjectDRIVER, your company strategy is really turning to the Internet. |
E-business intensively uses XML data description language. If very powerful and flexible, XML is also very open and anybody can define the tags he needs for his application. As a result, an application using XML proprietary tags may not necessarily use the same standards as another one, and thus will not be able to communicate and work with this application. With ObjectDRIVER, problems of compatibility between XML tags can be solved very quickly. Don't change anything to the code of your applications ; just define the mapping scheme that will translate XML tags to the ones of your e-business partners. Applications that couldn't understand each others will now work perfectly together. ObjectDRIVER is the quickest way to let you move to e-business now. |

Administrations and Large Structures
|
Administrations and Large Structures are used to facing many issues because of their division into various departments which have their own database organization. The data are thus processed in different environments which, using traditional tools, appear to be incompatible between themselves. Consequently many problems arise as well for the decision makers as for the local councilors. |

| Local councilor | Decision Maker | |
|
For local councilors, it is not so easy to locate in the labyrinths of central administration or to find out the proper interlocutor. Information is often cut under different forms. ObjectDRIVER enables precisely to gather in a single virtual base, all the required data. Henceforth ObjectDriver makes it possible to hide differences in structures and to gather information coming from heterogeneous sources in a single virtual and dynamic base. The user can reach the information in the way he wishes and choose the appropriate presentation. Last but not least, ObjectDRIVER can divide by 4 or more the development cost and lead-time of the applications. |
Information coming from the different departments goes up towards the decision maker in heterogeneous forms. How gathering them in an effective synthesis ? How using them in order to determine a strategy? At every level, information from the local level is very important. Therefore, it can be very useful to use it and modify it at ones convenience. ObjectDRIVER can gather data from heterogeneous sources of information and extract the vital records that will help you take the right decision, strategic to your Company. |

Designers and Engineers
ObjectDRIVER is a database mediator with many specificities and advantages. Without equivalent on the market, it enables complex transformations of the information structure representation. ObjectDRIVER can adapt information to any operational requirement.
Any operation executed on the subjacent real bases proceeds through a virtual databases system. Presently, the supported query language to the virtual bases is OQL. But in the coming months, user will be offered the possibility to work with SQL.
Organization of the data as well as spreading of the information in different repositories distributed on the network is totally transparent to the users or to the applications. ObjectDRIVER completely masks the actual structure of the information and presents data in the object form requested by the applications' designer. From the user or from the applications point of view, ObjectDRIVER gives access to a single virtual database exactly organized as they defined.
ObjectDRIVER masks heterogeneity's between the data (heterogeneity of structure, language, or products) and really simplifies the development of applications and the management of databases. Using ObjectDRIVER in a development results in less complexity, better efficiency, high flexibility, clean applications design and implementation, less bugs and debugging, and of course, time and cost savings.
Last but not least, developing today with ObjectDRIVER will let change tomorrow the code of the applications without changing the real databases organization or change the information structure, without impacting the applications. With ObjectDRIVER, databases and applications become independent entities that work in full synergy.
Databases Administrators
Nowadays, globalization compels companies to modify their structures in order to remain competitive in the new global village. To take up the challenge, companies don't hesitate to merge together. Merging companies means merging or reorganizing the information systems.
Databases are inevitably modified to make them more efficient : merging of data, insertion, suppression, etc...
Even if the merged companies are in the same business, databases structures are most of the time different and it is common to notice that the structure which prevails in a company is incompatible with the one of the other. Thanks to ObjectDRIVER that greatly simplifies merging of information, there is no need any more to migrate one database to another or to reorganize the information. Just let applications run as they did and let the information organized at it was. ObjectDRIVER will handle all the painful activity to look for information in one or another repository to build a virtual database and present objects to the users or the applications, as they were used to see it.
