Extensible Markup Language (XML) Agent Enables Customer-Defined

Data Processing without Customization

Dynamic Mobile Data (DMD) announces the availability of an XML agent that resides on the customer's server and enables the translation of data transmissions between the originating system and the DMD Network Operations Center (NOC).

While legacy systems are sufficient for basic transactions, they do not give companies instant access to mission-critical data. Companies with existing systems can now leverage the power of the Internet to wirelessly enhance those systems with near real-time transactions.

Today, customers are using the XML agent to interface to DMD's MobileDispatch(TM) Data Services (MDDS) in order to have the latest in dispatch technology without the hassle or expense of legacy system alteration or software customization.

"Companies with older dispatch systems find that it is too expensive to upgrade, because it requires replacing hardware and software from the server to individual terminals," said Chuck Feldman, DMD's president and COO. "DMD's XML agent allows those companies to take advantage of the latest MobileDispatch technology without replacing the entire legacy system."

Programmers will also find the XML agent useful in speeding up development time and reducing the complexity of interfacing to DMD's ASP services.

"We've done the hard part," said Feldman. "MDDS has broken down the barriers between databases and it is very extensible."

DMD provides the customer with the file layout specifications and gives them the ability to generate alternative file layouts using the MDDS Document Type Definition (DTD). The DTD validates the data and the XML file is sent to the MDDS server. Once the data is processed, the MDDS server sends the data back to the legacy server to be used for reporting or applications, as desired.
