BeauTec Intelligent Interface Services

Today’s data infrastructures are getting more and more complex and heterogeneous. Information has to be available as fast as possible in the best quality possible within many business applications. Having a central Integrated Information System in place, bi-directional interfaces to individual Systems are easy to create and maintain, as they need to support only one single point of integration. From there new data or just information about updated data is automatically forwarded to destination systems. Intelligent Interfaces have to be able to transport the business view of external systems into the central repository to provide a general understanding about how to map and compare information. Copying and already transforming individual data points through an interface is not good practice.
The BeauTec Intelligent Interface Services support even multiple data source for the same business function, as a company will replace old systems continuously with new ones. The provided information from each business function needs to be transparently provided for all users without the necessity to search data in different systems.
