TimeXtender
TimeXtender today announced the next generation of its data estate builder, a low-code data management tool that empowers organizations to ingest and prepare their data for analytics, AI, and machine learning 10x faster than standard methods. TimeXtender’s data estate builder allows organizations to quickly integrate their siloed data into a data lake, model their data warehouse, and define data marts for multiple BI tools & endpoints – all within a simple, drag-and-drop user interface. With 16+ years of experience optimizing best practices and building modern data estates for top-performing organizations, TimeXtender maintains an unprecedented 95% retention rate with over 3,300 customers by continuing to deliver a trusted, reliable, and secure data management solution.

Simplicity and automation have always been core to TimeXtender’s mission to empower the world with data, mind, and heart. With the release of the next generation of its data estate builder, TimeXtender makes it easier than ever for everyone, regardless of skill level, to get access to reliable data, without writing a single line of code.

Traditionally, the data preparation process has relied on a highly complex stack of tools, a growing list of data sources and systems, and months spent hand-coding each piece together to form fragile data “pipelines.” Then came data management “platforms” that promised to reduce complexity by combining everything into a single, unified, end-to-end solution. In reality, these platforms impose strict controls and lock you into a proprietary ecosystem that won’t allow you to truly own, store, or move your own data.

“It’s clear that these old approaches to data management simply cannot meet the needs of modern data teams. The rapid pace of innovation does not allow for the bottlenecks, slowdowns, and limitations these approaches bring. The entire status quo of the data management industry is archaic and burdensome, and we believe it should be abolished. “By making the complex simple, and automating all that can be automated, our goal is to free up millions of human hours that can be used to execute on what matters most and change the world.”

Heine Krog Iversen, TimeXtender’s founder and CEO

“Just as low-code Content Management Systems and drag-and-drop website builders have led to a dramatic decrease in the amount of time and effort required to build a website, TimeXtender’s low-code data management solution now enables data professionals to build data infrastructure and pipelines very quickly using a drag-and-drop interface,” said Micah Horner, TimeXtender’s Product Marketing Manager. “In other words, we help businesses get the data they need faster so they can do what they need to do faster. Because time matters, after all.”

Key Features
  • Simple, drag-and-drop interface for data ingestion and preparation
  • Support for 250+ data sources, along with custom connectors for any proprietary sources
  • Deliver data to the visualization tool of your choice (such as Power BI, Qlik, or Tableau)
  • Automatically generate full, end-to-end documentation of your entire data estate
  • Visual data lineage, impact analysis, quality rules, and alerts
  • Our metadata-driven approach never requires any access or control over your actual data
  • Decouple your business logic from the underlying data storage technology to future-proof your investment
  • Easily set up roles and restrict access to sensitive data with enterprise-grade security
  • What’s New

Easier-to-navigate, more user-friendly experience
  • Online portal allows you to manage instances, data sources, and user access from any device, anywhere
  • TimeXtender Desktop now authenticates and configures directly from the portal – no more license keys and client secrets
  • Selecting individual tables and fields from a data source has been significantly improved
  • Incremental Subtraction allows your scheduled loads to automatically take into account the data that may have changed since your previous execution
  • Mapping Sets allow you to define a search criteria, then TimeXtender will automatically map any source table that fits the criteria into that destination
  • Execute and schedule PowerShell scripts from within TimeXtender
  • Execute semantic models directly to the Power BI Premium endpoint
  • Data profiling makes it faster than ever to analyze data to begin modelling

About TimeXtender
TimeXtender, through its data estate builder, empowers you to implement a modern data estate 10x faster with a simple, drag-and-drop user interface for ingesting and preparing data for analysis. It seamlessly overlays and unifies your data infrastructure, connects to 250+ data sources, and provides all the powerful data preparation capabilities you need in a unified, secure, future-proof solution. The underlying code is generated automatically, which reduces build costs by 70%, frees data engineers from tedious, repetitive tasks, and provides less-technical business users with a no-code experience for creating their own data products. We do this for one simple reason: because time matters.

Incorta Supports Real-Time Business Analytics on ERP Data in the Cloud With Google Cloud

Globenewswire | April 03, 2023

Incorta, the real-time business analytics company, announced that it has partnered with Google Cloud as part of several initiatives around cloud computing and analytics deployments, aimed at helping companies move their business application and enterprise resource planning data into the cloud. The partnerships include Incorta validating its technology through the Google Cloud Ready - BigQuery and AlloyDB initiatives. ERP data is complex and highly connected to business processes and other applications, so making use of this data within cloud systems requires specific capabilities. Incorta’s open data delivery platform is purpose-built for acquiring, processing, analyzing and presenting business applications data, allowing companies to get their data into the cloud and use that information faster and more efficiently. Incorta’s approach complements how companies implement their systems, so that it can support the most complex cloud and hybrid environments that are in place. With Incorta Direct Data Mapping™, companies can preprocess their raw data to determine all potential query paths, enabling them to carry out ultra-fast queries on normalized data models without data reshaping or data transformations. This approach means that companies can work with 100 percent of their data without requiring complex transformations that affect the data itself. “Companies want to move their data into the cloud so they can take advantage of it, but this can be problematic for ERP data that comes from a wide mix of complex and connected systems. Getting that data into the cloud requires a dedicated approach and understanding of how these systems connect with each other, while keeping their data fresh and accurate over time and ensuring teams can work with it quickly in a trusted environment,” explained Ashwin Warrier, Vice President of Product, Incorta. “At Incorta, we are pleased to make that journey to the cloud easier through our integrations with Google Cloud BigQuery and AlloyDB, helping our customers take advantage of the cloud around ERP data, carry out operations in real time and support the kinds of decision making that business leaders want to make in today’s business environment.” “Companies want to work with partners that can help them create new value from their data, and services like BigQuery & AlloyDB make it easier for those teams to use their data effectively,” said Ritika Suri, Director, Technology Partnerships at Google Cloud. “Achieving Google Cloud Ready - BigQuery and AlloyDB statuses shows that Incorta’s integration will help companies achieve those results in their work around data and improve their decisions across their organizations.” Google Cloud’s BigQuery is a serverless enterprise data warehouse that works across clouds and supports both real-time and predictive analytics. Incorta makes it easier to get data into BigQuery and provide analytics around ERP data. As part of the BigQuery validation initiative, Incorta has completed the evaluation and enhancement activities to ensure that the companies’ solutions deliver against best practices and performance benchmarks. Incorta and Google Cloud have also collaborated to refine existing documentation to enable customers around successfully working with the companies’ solutions. Google Cloud’s AlloyDB is a fully-managed, PostgreSQL-compatible database service for enterprise database workloads based on one of the most popular open-source database engines, PostgreSQL, for superior performance, scale, and availability. By achieving the Google Cloud Ready designation for AlloyDB, Incorta has proven their product has met a core set of functional and interoperability requirements when integrating with AlloyDB and refined documentation for ease of onboarding by our mutual customers. Using Incorta, companies can get their ERP data into AlloyDB from the ERP data sources and then use the combination of Incorta and AlloyDB to provide users with more analytics and visualization capabilities. About Incorta Incorta® provides a unified data and analytics platform that makes it quick and easy to unlock the full potential of business data from multiple complex source systems by making it instantly ready for analysis. Backed by GV, Kleiner Perkins, M12, Prysm Capital, Telstra Ventures and Sorenson Capital, Incorta empowers the most forward-thinking companies to tackle their toughest data challenges, from innovators in the midmarket to Fortune 1000 category leaders such as Broadcom, Comcast and Shutterfly.
