Data to Demonstrate Mid-Tier XML Data Server For
Rapid Information Aggregation at SIA 2003
IRVINE,
CA. – June 5, 2003
Raining Data to Showcase Its TigerLogic XML Data Management
Server
During the SIA 2003 Technology Management Conference
at Booth # 4200, June 17 – 19 in New York
Raining Data Corporation (Nasdaq: RDTA), a long-time provider
of scalable, flexible and reliable data management software,
will be demonstrating its TigerLogic XDMS mid-tier operational
data server at the SIA 2003 Technology Management Conference
and Exhibit, June 17-19, 2003 in New York at Booth #4200, Americas
Hall #2, Level 3 at the Hilton New York hotel. The company is
also sponsoring the conference registration equipment throughout
the event.
Raining
Data will showcase how its TigerLogic XML Data Management Server
(XDMS) helps financial services providers to easily aggregate
data from multiple structured and unstructured sources helping
XML-enabled Java and .NET applications access more data faster.
Specifically, the TigerLogic XDMS is a mid-tier operational
data server that integrates and transforms data of any type
or structure into XML and then stores it in the mid-tier – between
Web-enabled clients and back-end operational systems – to satisfy
requests for commonly needed aggregated information. As a result
of this innovative approach, TigerLogic XDMS can deliver 10
times faster XML queries through its patent-pending profiling
and indexing technology. By expediting XML data delivery, the
TigerLogic XDMS gives trading desk and customer care professionals
the additional intelligence to rapidly make better-informed
and more profitable decisions.
In
addition, TigerLogic XDMS enables easier support for a number
of financial services XML standards, including XBRL, RIXML,
MDDL and others, to simplify data abstraction and aggregation,
as well as to produce significant cost savings from reusable
views and off-loaded back-end processing.
Raining
Data will be providing attendees of the SIA 2003 Technology
Management Conference free copies of recently published research
reports that detail the TigerLogic XDMS approach and its importance
to strategic information management architecture in the financial
services industry, including:
