"The ca smart certification of Whitehill xml-Transport is an important milestone for Whitehill," said Jim Laffoley, vice president of Marketing and Business Development, Whitehill Technologies. "Having the certification means that customers around the globe will have a powerful solution for their data extraction and transformation requirements. This is further validation of the growing importance for large organizations to make better use of the data locked within their existing IT infrastructures."

Whitehill xml-Transport software enables companies to extract, convert, render and deliver structured and unstructured data from multiple sources, including print streams, databases and flat files. The data can then be repurposed into value-added formats and business-specific data types.

CA's comprehensive Unicenter Output Management solutions enable complete collection, distribution, printing and viewing of output reports from mainframe and distributed environments. Instead of having to print entire reports at considerable expense, users can view full reports or specific sections of interest, using the interface they prefer such as web browser, Windows or mainframe. The Unicenter Output Management solutions also support archiving and quick retrieval of reports, providing efficient management for long-term document storage needs.

- Providing end users with the ability to integrate their existing systems and applications with new front office document and data format requirements in a non-invasive, transaction-oriented manner

- Enabling end users to extract and combine data from databases, flat file systems, and enclosed within proprietary print stream formats (e.g. AFP, Metacode, ASCII), in order to repurpose it as any XML-based data type, and paginated or non-paginated document type Extracting data directly from CA Unicenter Output Management solutions, including Unicenter CA-View Output Archival and Viewing, Unicenter CA-Bundl, and Unicenter CA-Dispatch Output Management
