FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UDICo
Launches First Universal Middleware Solution
UDICo's TierBroker
is the only platform- and database-independent data integration
system available today
NEW YORK,
May 1, 2001 - UDICo, an emerging provider of data integration
software, today announced the launch of its unique middleware system,
the UDICo TierBroker. TierBroker can process high volumes of data
and transactions regardless of the data's source or destination.
The product's versatility lets companies get more from their legacy
systems, benefiting from the economies available by using the Simple
Object Access Protocol (SOAP) standard for high-volume online transactions.
"UDICo provides
a complete, open middleware solution for any size company," said
Adam Greissman, CEO and founder of UDICo. "With the ever-increasing
number of systems that can't work together, growing businesses need
to the ability to communicate seamlessly, both internally and externally.
TierBroker's ability to integrate with any system or database makes
it a necessary tool for all companies with data integration needs.
It allows IT departments to spend less time cobbling together piecemeal
solutions and more time working on mission-critical projects."
TierBroker is
an upgrade of UDICo's existing Universal Data Interface (UDI) and
is officially in beta release. It will be available in three versions,
all downloadable at www.udico.com. A
demo is available for individuals interested in learning more about
TierBroker. It is fully functional and free for those who wish to
use it for non-commercial purposes. The standard edition of the
TierBroker system provides support for most operating systems and
databases. The full Enterprise edition comes with native Unix support
and works with a larger list of available databases. Highlights
of this updated version include an integrated debugger, a browser-based
console to monitor real-time transactions, support for multi-language
scripting to implement business logic, and a full-featured, customizable
programmer's editor for easy script development.
"Our global
clients have had such success with UDICo's product, it made sense
to make it available to a wider market," said Bernie Plagman, a
partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. "TierBroker's platform independence
and high-volume transaction speeds allow companies to achieve higher
levels of data integration especially with older platforms thus
increasing the value of their legacy investment."
The UDICo team
was formed in 1993 when PricewaterhouseCoopers built a team of software
developers to design a data integration system for their global
and domestic clients. The team, including UDICo CEO Adam Greissman,
created the Universal Data Interface, which is now called TierBroker.
This system has been installed in more than 40 PricewaterhouseCoopers
clients all over the world, including JPMChase, Credit Suisse First
Boston, Hartford Insurance Group and Nomura Securities. UDICo is
now making the TierBroker available for use within smaller companies.
