Any data integration solution for your organization must be justified on the metrics of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). A lower total cost of ownership by itself is a must along with the quality and efficacy of the solution for a desirable return on investment. By reducing the cost and complexity of development, deployment, and maintenance of the data integration solution, Astera's Centerprise Data Integrator brings down the total cost of ownership substantially.
Development Cost: With a business oriented focus, Centerprise is designed to leverage the knowledge of the business users of their data. Graphical tools and intuitive user interface make sure that the business users can translate their knowledge of data into actual data mapping and data validation rules which provides for rapid solution development and deployment. This in turn, results in a reduced cost of development.
Maintenance Cost: Centerprise stores application artifacts as standard XML in the file system. This enhances the reusability and makes sharing of artifacts a trivial task – overcoming one of the primary hurdles to reusability. Customers can therefore store business rules to reduce implementation efforts and ensure consistency.
Hardware Infrastructure Cost: Customers also reduce the total cost of ownership by bringing down hardware infrastructure costs. With Centerprise, you pay for a maximum level of parallelism for an application on a machine, therefore, reducing the cost on acquiring expensive hardware.
License Cost: Centerprise licensing model is designed to make the cost of ownership for the software dependent on the needs of a customer. With a flexible subscription model, you can use the product for the time period when you need the solution, which lowers down the cost substantially for many customers. The option of buying a perpetual license proves to be more cost effective for customers who intend to use the solution for a long time.
