DataMirror Defines Future of Live, On Demand Data for Integration,
Protection, Audit and Capture at Investment Conference
Customers Tap Into Live, On Demand Data to Drive Business
CANADIAN OPPORTUNITIES Conference, Toronto,CANADA – (November 4, 2003) – DataMirror (Nasdaq: DMCX; TSX: DMC), a leading provider of live data integration and protection solutions, today announced its Chief Executive Officer, Nigel Stokes will speak to the value of live, on demand data at the Sprott Securities Canadian Opportunities Conference today in Toronto. Mr. Stokes will examine key business drivers and technology issues affecting companies across all industries and vertical markets. He will also discuss DataMirror’s strategic direction and product roadmap.
Business volatility, accountability and performance pressures, and new government regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II and the Patriot Act, are driving the need for live data stores that enable a real-time view of critical business operations. To meet the growing demand for live data integration and auditing, fraud detection and 24/7 operations, companies must bridge islands of information locked in disparate operational systems and integrate new data streams such as RFID (radio frequency identification) and web and wireless services. Companies must also protect the security of their data infrastructure and preserve the continuity of their business.
DataMirror’s LiveBusiness™ software solutions, encompassing live data integration, protection, audit and capture, are uniquely positioned to allow firms to meet critical business and IT challenges, with minimal investment and without programming, to achieve maximum returns. DataMirror’s innovative change data capture, transform and flow (CTF) technology goes beyond legacy extract, transform and load (ETL) tools to provide live, on demand synchronization across a wide range of platforms. Live, on demand data solutions let firms feed real-time operational data into live data stores and drive enterprise-wide initiatives such as business continuity, legacy integration, business intelligence and analytics, web and wireless services, and regulatory compliance.
“Unlike many vendors talking about the future of data integration, DataMirror has solutions available today that are helping companies drive business with live data feeds,” said Nigel Stokes, CEO, DataMirror. “Over 1,750 customers worldwide use our live, on demand data integration, protection, audit and capture solutions to gain business velocity, comply with audit requirements, and adapt to the rapid pace of technology change.
