Get Perspective on your Enterprise Information

The Next Generation of Information Management

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) today presents exciting opportunities, and daunting challenges. Information accessibility and utilization is recognized as a business imperative that requires information systems to interact at all levels – data, business process, and presentation. Organizations today want to create a single view of enterprise entities (such as Customer, Product, etc.) from across enterprise applications. Conversely, there is also a need to present a single view of enterprise information to customers and business partners.

The Next Generation Applications

Demand for information access is constantly growing - AJAX applications, Business Intelligence, Rails, Service Oriented Architecture, Software as a Service... Increased access to information repositories is happening everywhere. At the same time, there is increasing pressure to secure sensitive information to comply with regulatory requirements, and mitigate risk from lost and inappropriate use of information. Restricting access is not limited to external threats – internal access must be monitored and managed too! The challenge is to do all of this without creating more silos and copies of enterprise information.

The PerspecSys Information Server™

In order to properly manage enterprise information, access from every perspective must be considered. The PerspecSys Information Server™ is designed to provide a single platform for managing all aspects of enterprise information access, providing one solution for information integration, management, and access. The PerspecSys Information Server™ can also assist with the migration and decommissioning of legacy applications, and even assist in bringing older applications into compliance.

Manage Enterprise Information access

With Information Perspective™, users and applications with the appropriate permissions can access the enterprise information specific to their perspective, and are restricted from everything else. The Information Server allows new applications, integration scenarios, and information management solutions to be developed, deployed, and modified at any time. Perspectives into the information are managed and maintained independently.

More importantly, the visibility into specific information values is managed by Information Perspective™. This can be as simple as read/write rules, or as complex as masking the value such that data is protected in compliance with regulation or business practice. For example, credit card information can be masked so that it is only meaningful within the enterprise. If the information is ever taken outside, the information is not usable as credit card information. Private information can stay private, no matter where it goes.

TCO, ROI, and Time to Benefit

PerspecSys Information Server™ based solutions are completely integrated, providing seamless interoperability between Enterprise Application Integration, Enterprise Information Management, and Information PerspectiveTM services. PerspecSys pre-built solutions, such as CDI and Phased Migration, can also accelerate development and deployment. As a componentized, service-oriented infrastructure, PerspecSys solution components are reusable, and can leverage existing investments in integration and information management technologies. This can result in a lower total cost of ownership, as well as a faster return on investment.
