Avantio 2.0 consists of a scalable, dynamic XML Dynamic XML means dynamic data that is in an XML format. Another popular use of this term also refers to information which is extracted from a database (commonly a relational database) and placed into XML format. Server, and an Integrated Development Environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE), which together enable companies to represent their enterprise data sources as a comprehensive Virtual XML Database A database that stores XML documents. There are two types. The first is the "XML-enabled database," which is a relational or object-oriented database that has been extended to hold XML data. . Using Avantio 2.0, companies can rapidly and cost-effectively enable existing enterprise systems for enterprise-wide application integration, Business-to-Business electronic partnerships, and Internet-based application projects.

Avantio 2.0 presents a company's enterprise data as logical XML views. For example, a view might represent a "single customer record" including customer profile and order history. When a client application requests the view for a particular customer, Avantio 2.0 gathers and joins data from the many enterprise systems that comprise this information, returning an XML document to the requestor. Avantio 2.0 supports "data chaining" across many systems where one system contains data links into another system. Data chaining allows related data to be retrieved from any number of systems as a single logical query. Avantio 2.0 supports both reading and writing XML to and from the Virtual XML Database. Since many XML files contain data destined des·tine tr.v. des·tined, des·tin·ing, des·tines 1. To determine beforehand; preordain: a foolish scheme destined to fail; a film destined to become a classic. 2. for multiple systems, Avantio 2.0 decomposes the inbound XML into its constituent pieces, sending each to the designated system for storage or processing. Built-in transaction management ensures that all data is stored as a single atomic unit, and that any failure causes the entire operation to be rolled back from all systems. As well as providing sophisticated data integration, Avantio 2.0 controls enterprise workflow processes. Using simple, XML-based logic, a company can define a workflow based on user-defined business rules. For example, upon receipt of an inbound purchase order, Avantio 2.0 performs customer validation and credit verification, then sends the data to the order processing system. Simultaneous to order processing, Avantio 2.0 alerts the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) An integrated information system that is used to plan, schedule and control the presales and postsales activities in an organization. system, providing automated notification to the sales force of the customer order and its revenue value. The Avantio 2.0 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) facilitates rapid development of new XML views in the Virtual XML Database. The environment is optimized for real-world electronic partnerships in which business requirements demand complex XML hierarchies. The IDE provides easy-to-use wizards, templates, and drag-and-drop operations to speed the creation of XML views and their mappings to enterprise data. Since mappings are reusable, enterprise data need only be mapped to XML once, and is then available for use in any number of XML views. Pricing and Availability X-Aware's Avantio 2.0 is available immediately from X-Aware, Inc. Deployment options include both Windows NT/2000 and Java systems for server components.
