Metabula Ltd has today extended its solution capability into data and information consolidation across multiple sources. This has been achieved by combining Metabula's DataBridge product, which offers information integration and consolidation capabilities, with Datanomic's data quality management solution.

Metabula now offers a solution whereby information from systems across an organisation, can be unified into consistent and validated views, even though the information in different systems can be, and probably will be, inconsistent.

The ability to assemble and present data from disparate and inconsistent systems will be a major benefit to users trying to make sensible business decisions.

Roger Eatwell, CEO of Metabula said 'Metabula has today become a Datanomic Reseller. This is part of Metabula's plan to work with specialist product and service partners to provide a best-of-breed information integration and management solution which is focussed around Metabula's DataBridge product set.'

'The advantages to be gained for customers by linking our products with Datanomic's should not be underestimated. Datanomic is a UK leader in data quality solutions and its products can easily be combined with Metabula's integration and consolidation capabilities to provide a significant offering.'

Metabula is a specialist provider of Enterprise Information Integration (EII) solutions based upon the DataBridge product. Metabula provides solutions which allow companies of all sizes to collect, collate, and present a unified view of information across many systems. These views can be presented in whatever format is required by individual users or applications. This is achieved without changing the existing systems or data, and insulates the user from any changes that are made to the underlying systems or their links.

'The ability to provide cleansing and auditing of data sources is a powerful extension to Metabula's integration framework. Datanomic's products can be used before or after a DataBridge integration either to pre-process physical data sources or to post-process virtual data models. This combination of technology enables the iterative development of information models that are audited, cleansed, consolidated and isolated from their underlying source systems.' said Nigel Ball, CTO of Metabula.
