Centerprise 5 promises a combination of data integration, data quality, and data profiling functionality in a unified environment.  It features a revamped user interface lending itself to non-technical users while still maintaining more advanced capabilities aimed at data integration specialists with more involved data migration scenarios.  Centerprise now enables all stakeholders in an integration project to use a single interface, share their work in a team environment and integrate with version control systems.

"As data integration functions are increasingly performed by non-technical users, a high-quality user experience is vital to the success of projects and broader adoption of tools within the enterprise," says Ibrahim Surani, CEO of Astera Software.  "Centerprise 5 represents a major leap in usability for data integration platforms and we will continue to make strides in this area."

To develop and manage complex data flows that involve data quality checking, error correction flows, and other complex logic, Centerprise adds data visualization, quick profiling, and modular flow design capabilities.  These features make it easier to develop complex flows by technical and non-technical users without requiring a steep learning curve.  Other key features include tight integration with version control systems, workflow orchestration and management, task scheduling, and an extensibility framework that enables customers and partners to add custom functions, transformations, sources and targets.

"We worked closely with beta customers on usability testing of Centerprise features for developing complex integration flows to ensure that Centerprise offered an intuitive, natural flow," Surani added.

Centerprise 5 is suited for many data integration scenarios.  These include data mapping, data warehousing, application data integration, B2B data exchange, cloud application integration, and real time integration through SOA.

Centerprise 5 trial is available for download at www.astera.com.  Astera provides free technical support during trial.
