Uniform Access to Any Data
Data within an enterprise can be stored in various formats, including relational databases (which themselves come in a large number of varieties), text files, XML files, Web services, spreadsheets and a variety of proprietary storage methods, each with their own indexing and data access methods. In most enterprises data from multiple sources must be combined in order to obtain a complete data set. Diagrams created in Ecrion Data Architect 2011 are used in production environments by our server product, Ecrion Data Aggregation Server 2011, to gather data from multiple sources and convert it into XML.
With Ecrion Data Architect 2011, all data within your organization will appear to users as a single homogenous data source.
