Denodo Platform 4.0, the Industry’s Only Unified Data Integration Platform, Integrates Structured, Unstructured and Web Data to Create Strategic Value

Unique Architecture Combines Data Federation, Web Automation, and Search Capabilities Enabling Information-centric Organizations to Create Composite Data Services from Internal and External Data

Palo Alto, CA - June 11, 2007. Denodo Technologies, Inc. (www.denodo.com), the recognized innovator of Enterprise Data Mashups software, today announced the general availability of Denodo Platform 4.0, the industry’s only unified data integration platform to access, extract and merge data across any digital source to create SOA data services.

Using the Denodo Platform, organizations can now, for the first time, derive unique business value and competitive advantage by merging enterprise data with Web 2.0 and unstructured information to create new business applications based on fresher and more complete data feeds. Those who learn to leverage data integration across the breadth of the content continuum will be the new leaders in their industry.

Denodo Platform 4.0 redefines the integration landscape by establishing a unified data integration paradigm. It combines powerful technologies for Enterprise Information Integration (EII), Web Automation, and Search/Indexing in a flexible, light-weight architecture, following service-oriented principles to generate from dispersed heterogeneous sources new executable data structures.

"Denodo has been innovative in extending data integration into new areas,” said Philip Howard of Bloor Research, an independent analyst firm. “The ability to link Internet and internal data resources, whether they are structured or unstructured, in a combined query and search environment could be very powerful in the right circumstances. As far as I am aware, no other vendor has this capability right now."

“Denodo’s real-time data federation capabilities provide us a key competitive advantage,” said Sean O’Toole, founder and president of Granite Realty, which provides value-added information on investment property. “The ability to relate structured and unstructured data creates fantastic new opportunities for us and Denodo made this difficult task simple – our solution was deployed in just two weeks.”

“Telefonica places a high priority on information agility to grow its leadership position,” said Jose Maria Tavera, Chief Information Officer for Telefonica. “Denodo shares this vision and is unique in its ability to deliver strategic value from any kind of information source, whether structured or unstructured. Denodo has afforded us the agility required to meet our key data requirements on any type of operational data, often dispersed and under-utilized.”

Denodo Platform is ideal for creating competitive and business intelligence applications, creating “single view” of customers or products, performing Web automations for B2B and B2C applications, and aggregating data to feed information services.

Advanced features in Denodo Platform 4.0 make it powerful and simple to use:

• Unified visual modeling and execution environment with shared metadata and semantics for data federation across heterogeneous source types
  
• Advanced Web automation including example-based pattern recognition and heuristics for automatic maintenance of Web integrations for website changes
  
• Out of the box functionality to structure unstructured content (PDF, HTML, Word, Email, etc.) and query it using standard SQL language
  
• Rich transformation, normalization, data cleansing, semantic and textual matching tools help build unique relationships across disparate data structures
  
• Sophisticated query optimization across heterogeneous sources, asynchronous parallel processing, high availability / clustering, caching, and JMX-based monitoring provide enterprise-class performance, security and scalability
  
• Workflow component for orchestrating data integration flows
  
• Multi-mode access to federated data – data service (SOA), publish/subscribe (EDA), data feeds, search interface, query/DB views, API access etc.
