What is ?

• Simply put, eSnap is an Enterprise Information
  Integration Portal
• Helps address information consolidation
  requirements by bridging islands of data files
  into a consolidated view
• Helps provide business alignment with real-time
  centralized views into registered applications
• Does not disrupt or interfere with ongoing
  operations
• Bring integration Back to Basicskeeping it
  simple

The Business Problem

• Integration Issues
• Islands of Databases
• Decentralized View
• Learning Curve for each Applications Integration

• Repositories and Databases are Populated by
• Applications
• Transfer
• Dump
• Conversion
• Keyed-in
• etc

Sample Environment Windows NT. Legacy Systems.
Oracle, Sybase, SQL Server Databases Other
Databases. Multiple image types, drawings, PDF,
TXT, DOC files in different directories on
multiple servers

Various Industry Approaches

• In order to bridge data from disparate data
  sources at least 3 different
• approaches (with many variations) which can be
  considered
• Build a data warehouse (Expensive time
  consuming data population required no time
  series)
• Build a traditional database that aggregates all
  the different sources and populates it regularly
  (If source changes, restructuring required
  expensive time consuming)
• Establish a meta-dictionary providing a mapping
  between the business terminology (or semantics)
  and the source fields (Performance is an issue
  interpretation, data cleansing etc.)
