Products / Enterprise Data Connector

With Corticon's unique model-driven approach to data connectivity, connecting business rules to enterprise data is a snap - there is absolutely no SQL coding. And since data is mapped separate from the business rules, changes to data sources do not force a re-model of your business rules. Corticon also features great flexibility in supporting your data access and update policies, easily changing settings for read-only and write authorization. Leveraging enterprise data within rules has never been so easy.

Corticon Enterprise Data Connector - Single Source

Corticon Enterprise Data Connector - Single Source (EDC) integrates decision models and decision services with an external, relational database. Corticon EDC creates a direct connection from decision services executing on Corticon Server to the external data needed by the decision services as they process.

Corticon EDC enables important additional capabilities that improve the overall decision automation and management experience. Through Corticon EDC decision services can automatically retrieve missing data or update data sources directly during rules processing. Scenario-based testing using large datasets stored in a database becomes not only possible but practical. And with Corticon EDC decision services can be applied to batch processing, either of live transactions or of warehoused data for compliance, decision improvement, and other analyses.

BENEFITS

  • Easy (and smart) mapping of model vocabulary to data source
  • Decision models remain decoupled from the external data model so either can be updated independently of the other
  • Makes possible advanced operational scenarios that accelerate time-to-market and expand applicability
  • Produces additional reductions in cost and time-to-market for data-hungry decision services

CAPABILITIES

  • Three flip-the-switch configurations
    • No DB Access, Read-only, Read/Write
  • Optimized compiler offloads data-intensive operations to DB
  • Model-driven access to external data source during rules execution
    • No coding, No SQL - sophisticated processing is hidden
    • Calling applications do not have to persist data from decision service responses
  • Design-time extensions
    • access to lookup tables
    • synchronization of vocabulary state with database schema extensions
  • Data-driven testing
    • Only "seed" data (primary key) need be supplied
    • All other data is automatically retrieved
  • Smart Retrieve & Smart Query gets data from database only when needed and only what is needed
    • Calling applications do not have to marshal data and build complete payloads
  • Batch Execution
    • Massively scalable data pipe enables analysis of historical data for compliance, decision improvement, more

Corticon Enterprise Data Connector - Multi-Source

Corticon Enterprise Data Connector - Multi-Source (EDC Multi-Source) picks up where EDC leaves off. It consists of several tightly integrated components that work together to deliver a complete data integration and analysis solution for decision automation. Corticon EDC Multi-Source links decision models to any number of data models and their physical sources by creating a virtual, unified view of the enterprise data to be accessed by the business rules in the decision model. Corticon EDC Multi-Source can access data from both structured and unstructured data stores, including documents, blogs, data warehouses, databases, web services, and message queues.

Corticon EDC Multi-Source also includes strong administrative tools for efficient configuration and control of data access during runtime, making it straightforward to apply your data access and update policies to executing decision services. Corticon EDC Multi-Source is state-of-the-art, model-driven, enterprise-wide data integration.
