 Systems, a pioneer and leader in enterprise product data quality solutions, announced today that its DataLens[TM] System 3.2 has successfully achieved "Powered by SAP NetWeaver[R]" qualification from SAP AG (company) SAP AG - (Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte in der Datenverarbeitung - German for "Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing") A company from Germany that sells the leading suite of client-server business software. The US branch is called SAP America. , the world's largest business software company. The DataLens System can now be deployed on the SAP NetWeaver Application Server J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) A platform from Sun for building distributed enterprise applications. J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the user's machine and the enterprise's databases and legacy information systems.  engine and accessed via the SAP NetWeaver Portal. The DataLens System is the only data quality solution built from the ground-up to effectively adapt product data for use in mission-critical enterprise applications such as SAP[R] solutions. This integration will allow any SAP solution or partner application to seamlessly access high-quality product data in real-time to support any business process.

The SAP NetWeaver platform powers the mySAP[TM] Business Suite family of applications, SAP xApps[TM] packaged composite applications In computing, the term composite application expresses a perspective of software engineering that defines an application built by combining multiple services. People often compare composite applications to mashups. , and partner solutions. SAP NetWeaver unifies integration technologies into a single platform and is pre-integrated with business applications, enabling change and reducing the need for custom integration.

Product data quality is becoming a significant issue in applications from supply-chain integration to master data management (MDM (Modular Digital Multitrack) An audio recorder that mixes and records multiple tracks of digital audio. The two major MDM technologies are ADAT and DTRS. See ADAT and DTRS. ) as data volumes exceed manual capabilities. Similarly, traditional data quality tools struggle with product data, as the process of adapting to new product domains can take months and lots of custom code, and even then, the tools are often stymied by the infinite variety of ways that data can be presented.

What sets Silver Creeks' DataLens System apart is that it is based on semantic technology In software, semantic technology encode meanings separately from data and content files, and separately from application code.

This enables machines as well as people to understand, share and reason with them at execution time.
 - allowing it to "learn" new product domains within hours and seamlessly accommodate data in almost any form without modification. The result is more useful data for businesses and their customers, in less time, at a lower cost.

"Product Information Management (PIM (1) (Protocol Independent Multicast) A multicast routing protocol endorsed by the IETF. Used in conjunction with an existing unicast routing protocol, it comes in two flavors: Dense Mode (PIM-DM) is used when recipients in the target group are in a concentrated ) initiatives will be much more effective when they rely on clean, well structured product data. That's where our DataLens System excels," said Barbara Mowry, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Silver Creek Systems. "Our DataLens product significantly enhances the value of any PIM and MDM solutions on the market today."

Product data quality issues plague all industries, but are particularly critical to those with high data volumes that require complex attribute-based search and matching, such as supply-chain integration, online sales or quoting, system consolidation, procurement, product data management and any form of PIM or MDM.

"A $13-billion distributor with 2.5 million parts in its master catalog was able to use our DataLens System to standardize its product information and significantly increase its product data match rate for quote fulfillment," said Martin Boyd Martin à Beckett Boyd (10 June, 1893 – 3 June, 1972) was a member of Australia’s most famous and prolific artistic dynasty of painters, sculptors, potters, writers, architects, graphic designers and musicians. , vice president of Marketing for Silver Creek Systems. "This allowed the distributor to quote and sell a greater amount of products than they could before. They see the benefits of high-quality product data within their applications and on the bottom line."

 and delivers usable data in any required form - standardized, localized and enriched - ready for loading into PIM and MDM systems, allowing these systems to deploy more quickly and operate more effectively. In addition, the DataLens System can improve search, navigation and custom publication - all of which are important, complementary functions to PIM and MDM systems.

The DataLens System was identified as a complementary technology in industry-analyst firm Gartner Research's Magic Quadrant The Gartner Magic Quadrant is a proprietary research tool developed by Gartner Inc., a US based research and advisory firm.
