PRESS RELEASE —MODULANT LAUNCHES CONTEXTIA™ PRODUCT SUITE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MODULANT LAUNCHES CONTEXTIA™ PRODUCT SUITE
Methodology and Technology Designed to Ensure Business Information Integrity
Charleston, SC, May 7, 2007 –Modulant, a leading provider of technologies and services to ensure transparency to how, where and when data is used within the enterprise, announced today the launch of the CONTEXTIA™ Product Suite. CONTEXTIA™, which just completed a successful project with Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), will allow Fortune 1000 companies to successfully complete critical IT projects through the establishment of a Business Information Integrity Program (BIIP).
“Organizations need to establish Business Information Integrity Programs (BIIP) to reduce the maintenance and upgrade costs of their IT resources. CONTEXTIA™ provides the methodologies, technologies and products necessary to be successful,” says Peter Everitt, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for Modulant. “We believe that by establishing a BIIP, organizations can begin to manage the use of their business information within in a single repository which is easy to maintain and they can reuse the information for many different business objectives. This control allows for the business information integrity that leads to more efficient IT processes and reduces the total IT support costs.”
By using the CONTEXTIA™ Product Suite, to capture the use of the business information within the context of the business, an organization can create Business Maps of its IT information resources. Much like a geographical map, a Business Map is a mechanism for sharing knowledge. The maps include symbols and tailored “directions” so that information can be interpreted correctly, within the context of the business challenge at hand, and not get “lost” within the enterprise. With CONTEXTIA™, organizations can stop re-establishing domain knowledge each time they have a new business challenge. Logistics, financial, manufacturing, process control, or any other industry segment can see and access accurate and usable information about their business in one holding area.
Additional key components of the CONTEXTIA™ Product Suite are:
- Contexia IE Manager (CIEM): The CIEM provides the capability to discover, capture and manage domain knowledge represented by the Business Map. This allows an organization to know exactly how data is used within the company within the context of the business challenge they are solving.
- The CONTEXTIA™ Web Platform of web-based tools:
- The CONTEXTIA™ Portal Solution (CPS) provides a web enabled access point to traverse the individual Business Maps. Within the portal, all of the information including semantic concepts, logical data elements, and physical data elements are accessible and hyperlinked.
- The CONTEXTIA™ Workflow Solution (CWS) assimilates information from large, complex organizations. Unlike other workflows and business process management approaches, the CWS is ready to handle changes in personnel, corporate policies and business rules, priorities and data requirements all without a single line of code. CWS gives each user of the product a personalized in-box in which all of their work is presented to them in a visual, easy to understand interface.
- The CONTEXTIA™ Server Platform: This performs server processing based on the client requests. Based on the output requirements of the user, the server will process through the knowledge-base and develop specific scripts required to support external processing.
- The Domain Knowledge Repository is where all of the business maps are stored. All information within the enterprise is defined and stored in a single location.
