"The most exciting thing I've seen since Mosaic." -Vinton Cerf, "Father of the Internet"
"In 2006, "business ontology" technologies, such as those offered by
vendors such as Digital Harbor, will become more commonplace and will allow for
business systems analysts and even some end users to create composite solutions,
albeit simple ones, on their own, to make them more productive in their particular roles or tasks." - Evan Quinn and Mark Levitt, IDC Research, Top 10 Predictions for 2006: Applications
Composite Applications:
Multiple applications seamlessly integrated and linked in real-time, accessible through a single interface, regardless of the source of information or data.
Digital Harbor's Platform combines data from separate systems in real-time through a single, web-based interface, creating an efficient, value-driven and productive workplace.
Digital Harbor's Platform brings information integration to the desktop by making it easy to create "composite applications" that are composed from many existing back-end systems; and delivering this information to end users in a live, actionable interface. Composite applications enable organizations to maximize the value of their existing information assets, instead of replacing them. Knowledge workers, IT engineers and executives alike, can easily ‘connect-the-dots’ across these multiple systems far more efficiently, effectively and accurately, freeing them up to make more informed and more valuable decisions.
Built on J2EE and XML, Digital Harbor utilizes today's dominant emerging architecture paradigms (service-oriented, component-based, event-driven) to make applications interactive and seamless and to provide a new level of semantic-based integration.
Digital Harbor extends an enterprise's infrastructure by giving IT the ability to assemble component-based applications at a radically lower time, cost, and skill level. By making it easy to build applications that are seamlessly composed from the parts of many others, Digital Harbor gives end users the unprecedented ability to correlate information in one system with information in another, and to collaborate across functional and organizational boundaries.
