Turning Data Service Promises into Business Benefits. You've bought into Data Services big time. Platform and tools providers already make it easy for your developers to produce and consume them. You believe that, as an enabling technology, Data Services can help your company generate new revenue. Or, perhaps you are counting on enhanced code reuse and dramatically reducing the cost of application integration. You've done your homework and maybe even some internal pilots, but before you can turn the promise of Data Services into business benefits as part of a real project where your Data Services are exposed across the Internet, you must address some difficult questions. Like for starters, what about security?

Your IT organization wants complete visibility into and control over the messages coming in, going out, and traveling within your company. But existing systems management, network management, security, and platform solutions don't address their needs for provisioning, securing, monitoring and managing Data Services - especially outside your enterprise. You are missing a critical piece of infrastructure that will prove essential to the realization of business benefits from Web Services. You need a Data Management (DM) solution.

entity DM is a software solution that is also available as a managed service. entity DM Enterprise Edition is for companies who wish to own and operate their own DM solution. entity DM Service Provider Edition is for telecommunications carriers, EDI-VAN's and other service providers that wish to offer DM to their customers as a managed service. entity DM on-demand is a managed DM service for companies that want to outsource IT infrastructure. However you choose to implement it, entity DM will enable you to accelerate realization of business benefits from the use of Data Services -- and that's a promise.
