Kourier Integrator for U2 - Release 3 Announced

Kore Technologies, a provider of enterprise integration and eCommerce Web solutions for MultiValue and Microsoft SQL Server databases, today announced Kourier Integrator for U2 Release 3.

Kourier Integrator for U2 is Kore's enterprise integration suite providing both Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) capabilities for connecting Rocket Software UniData/UniVerse (U2) applications to Microsoft SQL Server and other best-in-class applications.

" U2 to SQL Made Easier " is the theme for the new release, which focuses on streamlining the process of creating a SQL data warehouse from a U2 database from start to finish while making it even faster and easier than before. 

The most significant feature in this release is the new data warehouse Quick Start Workbench. This new workbench encapsulates all the tools and tasks necessary for building a Microsoft SQL Server data warehouse from U2 files into one easy-to-use interface. Users can analyze files, review data profiling information, revise file schema, and generate all of the data exports, services, and SSIS loading packages necessary to build and maintain a normalized SQL data warehouse. 

"An integral part of the Quick Start tools is the ability to profile data, which allows our customers to identify and resolve potential data integrity problems in their application files," says Mark Dobransky, co-founder and managing partner at Kore Technologies. " Using the quick start and data profiling tools creates a better data warehouse resulting in more actionable business intelligence reports and dashboards. "

Highlights of the new release include:

• Quick Start Workbench simplifies and accelerates SQL data warehouse development
