(Thomson Reuters ONE) - Standards-Based Development Environment Includes Highly ScalableIntegration-Processing Engine to Deliver Easy Access to CrucialInformation for Freight, Import/Export, Logistics, Shipping SectorSLOUGH, UK -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/27/09 -- Progress DataDirect, theunparalleled leader in data connectivity and mainframe integrationand an operating company of Progress Software Corporation (NASDAQ:PRGS), today announced its Progress(R) DataDirect(R) Data IntegrationSuite is being used by leading import/export, transport, logisticsand warehousing organisations to comply with the SingleAdministrative Document (SAD) harmonisation requirement of ECRegulation No. 2286/03.SAD harmonisation is a major step by the European Union towardaligning the rules for completion of SAD customs declarations acrossall EU Member States. It changes the way that import, export,warehousing, transit and community status declarations are completed.Not all EU member states have made the switch; some have made thetransition, others are still implementing changes.Progress DataDirect's Dr. Carlo Innocenti, senior data integrationprogram manager, explained, "The resulting challenge is for companiesto try to integrate data from various partners and sources. Flatfiles must be transformed for communications with customs clearanceand must also be integrated with relational databases for reasons ofaudit and business operation. Some large organisations deal withmillions of messages making this crucial process extremely complexand resource intensive."The DataDirect Data Integration Suite answers this challenge,providing a robust product architecture which includes an easy-to-usegraphical integrated development environment as well as ahighly-scalable integration processing engine that effectivelyqueries a large variety of data sources using standards-basedtechnologies and interfaces.It easily aggregates heterogeneous data sources, including all majorrelational databases, XML documents, EDI standards, flat files, andother legacy data formats into one comprehensive result, and thenexposes the response via SOAP or REST for use by any Java(TM) or .NETapplication.One organisation ready to benefit from the DataDirect DataIntegration Suite is Portbase, providers of information services tothe port communities in both Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In the firsthalf of 2009, Portbase handled in excess of 15 million messages frommore than 1,300 partners such as customs, carriers, freightforwarders, shipping agents and brokers, container terminals, barge,rail and truck operators. The company has added the DataDirect DataIntegration Suite at the very heart of its well established PortCommunity System.Portbase's Lead Architect Paul Saraber shared, "The operationalbenefits and across the board savings made the DataDirect DataIntegration Suite a logical solution for us. It offers full supportof different message formats in a reliable solution that's easy touse and nimble. One single feature in the DataDirect Data IntegrationSuite, the error message handling, saves us the hiring of 2 peoplewith different European language skills. Savings are approximatelyEUR 200.000 yearly in overhead. The DataDirect Data Integration Suiteis easily the most able solution to streamline the exchange of vitalinformation among our community members and external partners. We arevery excited to be expanding our development work with the DataDirectData Integration Suite and are already looking forward to increaseour ROI further by taking advantage of future features."About Progress DataDirectProgress DataDirect is the software industry's only comprehensiveprovider of software for connecting the world's most criticalbusinessapplications to data and services, running on any platform, usingproven and emerging standards.
