The Innovator’s Dilemma in Two Minutes by Clayton Christiansen

Key Concepts - Disruptive Innovation Disruptive innovation, a term of art coined by Clayton Christensen, describes a process by which a product or service takes root initially in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then relentlessly moves ‘up market’, eventually displacing established competitors. http://www.claytonchristensen.com/ccvideo01.swf Professor Christensen’s 2-minute explanation of Disruptive Innovation An innovation that is disruptive allows a whole new population of consumersaccess to a product or service that was historically only accessible to consumers with a lot of money or a lot of skill.  Characteristics of disruptive businesses, at least in their initial stages, can include:  lower gross margins, smaller target markets, and simpler products and services that may not appear as attractive as existing solutions when compared against traditional performance metrics. Because companies tend to innovate faster than their customers’ lives change, most organizations eventually end up producing products or services that are too good, too expensive, and too inconvenient for many customers.  By only pursuing “sustaining innovations” that perpetuate what has historically helped them succeed, companies unwittingly open the door to “disruptive innovations”. Some examples of disruptive innovation include: Disruptor Cellular phones Community colleges Discount retailers Retail medical clinics Disruptee Fixed line telephony Four-year colleges Full-service department stores Traditional doctor’s offices   Persistent Metadata Server    .     Legacy ETL

CORAID DEPLOYS QUEPLIX DATA VIRTUALIZATION TO INTEGRATE CUSTOMER DATA ACROSS SALESFORCE AND NETSUITE

Virtual Data Manager Ensures Data Consistency Between Applications to Enhance Salesforce Automation, Enterprise Resource Managment, and Customer Relationship Management

SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 6, 2011 – Queplix™ Corp., a leader in data virtualization, today announced that Coraid® Inc., a leading developer of Ethernet SAN storage solutions, has deployed Queplix Virtual Data Manager™ to synchronize critical customer data across Salesforce® and Netsuite® for enhancement of its salesforce automation, enterprise resource management and customer relationship management (CRM) efforts. This synchronization ensures that all Coraid users are consistently working with the best possible data about their most valuable resource – their customers – whether they are using Salesforce or Netsuite.

“Integration between these two cloud-based business applications is an essential part of day-to-day operations at Coraid. It’s imperative that users can gain access to the most correct, up-to-date information,” said Josh Leslie, vice president of North American sales at Coraid. “We had used an alternate cloud integration technology, but it wasn’t able to deliver the data quality and business-rule implementation we needed. Queplix Virtual Data Manager not only solved the problem of consistent data but also was the only solution we found that provides a clear view to the business rules that govern Coraid’s internal processes. We also will be changing and improving business process by automating links into Dun and Bradstreet for data quality.”

Queplix Virtual Data Manager streamlines and simplifies the process of synchronizing data across different platforms through Data Harmonization™ with absolutely no SQL required. Legacy solutions that involve multiple steps such as topology and data schema analysis, and that rely on ETL and ‘wire frame’ diagram tools, make data integration a complex and costly process.

In contrast, the Queplix architecture includes a series of intelligent Application Software Blades™ that identify and extract key metadata and associated security information from target applications and move it to the Queplix persistent metadata catalog. There, the data is automatically harmonized with other systems. The initial setup and ongoing Data Harmonization ensure that Coraid users have the same consistent view of information from both Salesforce and Netsuite. Queplix offers the only integration solution that uses the power of data virtualization, and does not require SQL or coding. This made it easy for the Coraid team to participate in the implementation process, and Queplix professional services delivered the turnkey implementation to Coraid on time and on budget.

“Enterprises today face a very real problem when it comes to ensuring that all users have access to consistent, up-to-date information, because the same data may be stored in and used by different systems,” said Julie Lockner, vice president and senior analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. “Solutions such as Queplix data virtualization, that provide an easier, more cost-effective way to achieve data consistency across applications, offer an attractive alternative to traditional ETL tools.”

“Companies like Coraid want to focus on their business, not on the difficulties of getting their systems to work the way they need them to,” said Mark Cashman, CEO, Queplix. “Our Virtual Data Manager removes a major obstacle to data integration, enabling customers to achieve integration quickly and at a fraction of the cost of existing solutions.”

Data Virtualization Meets ETL

Queplix Wednesday put a couple of tools on the market that are supposed to make it easier, quicker and cheaper to move data to the cloud.

Its new VirtualETL and CloudETL lines bring data virtualization to usually thorny extract, transform and load (ETL) tasks and are supposed to cut the time required to connect applications a good 75% compared to traditional ETL methodologies.

Queplix CEO Mark Cashman says using data virtualization for ETL “changes everything; ETL teams can mix any combination of relational, object, cloud or XML-based applications. And they don’t need to use SQL to set up connectivity, define the transforms, tune data quality or get the integration into production. We’ve essentially turned the cost model upside down, lowering product costs and dramatically reducing set-up costs.”

 

The widgetry, which requires no coding, lets users configure Queplix’ Application Software Blades to automatically connect to target applications like SalesForce.com, Netsuite, Taleo, PeopleSoft, Siebel and SAP ERP.

The VirtualETL family includes enterprise-class VirtualETL, which connects any two enterprise applications together, and professional-class VirtualETL, which lets users connect any two applications that use RDBMS systems.

With CloudETL, users can connect any two cloud-based applications or connect a cloud-based application with one that’s not cloud-based.

Pricing ranges from $9,999-$19,999. There are monthly pricing models available to fit cloud and SaaS deployment budgets.

The company says the stuff provides an easily audited view of the entire transform lineage.

Queplix Application Software Blade™ for Facebook® and LinkedIn®

Your business has made a decision to integrate social media data about your company, your vendors and your customers from sources around the world.  You need to integrate Facebook® with your existing marketing and customer relationship management systems.  Your executives are very concerned about how your company is perceived in the market and they want access to this social media data at light-speed.  This data will add significant value to your sales and marketing teams and their selling efforts.  It is absolutely essential to your business that you can synchronize this data into your key existing business applications.  What can you do?

The Automated Approach to Integration

Queplix™ has created a highly automated, fast and easy approach for integrating Facebook® with other on-premise and cloud based applications.  The system is designed for a business user – you don’t need to be an SQL programmer.   Once data is integrated it remains easily accessible, providing you have requisite security, to any number of additional applications.  How is this possible?  Queplix™ Virtual Data Manager™ is based on a persistent metadata server architecture – a new and powerful type of software infrastructure.  We take all the applications, whether object or relational and build out a set of object oriented metadata.  This object architecture gives us tremendous flexibility and scalability. Our server is persistent – each application is virtualized once and only once.  We wrap this in high level workflow and a security model that uses all of your existing security model for users and groups.  You will never again need to use cumbersome wire diagrams to connect small pictures of relational tables, draw lines or use cumbersome and complex templates.

Connect FaceBook® Everywhere

Facebook® is one of the leading social media applications in the world.  Queplix makes it easy and fast to deploy and integrate Facebook® data with any of your existing cloud and on-premise software applications.
