DataChannel this week announced
the formalization of its XML Backbone Professional Services Practice, as
well as a strategic alliance with Software Technologies Corp..
DataChannel will incorporate STC’s e*Gate 4.0 as part of its XML Backbone
to provide greater enterprise application integration and real-time
transaction processing.
DataChannel’s XML Backbone is a comprehensive platform for XML-based
enterprise data and application integration, and is a core component of the
DataChannel Enterprise Information Portal (EIP) Solutions framework. It
provides a data exposure and integration
services layer for the DataChannel EIP, which has the capacity to access
any enterprise data and deliver that data using the DataChannel Server 4.0.
DataChannel Server 4.0 provides a single point of secure, personalized
access for any device via an intranet, extranet or the Internet.
In conjunction with Apache Software Foundation’s announcement yesterday of
the new Apache XML Project, DataChannel demonstrated its commitment to XML
and its belief in the importance of open-standards and open-source by
donating its DataChannel XPages to the XML.Apache.Org Open Source XML Tools
Library. DataChannel XPages is an XML application markup language used to
build data-driven, cross-platform Web applications that integrate disparate
data sources.
