DWCH, anybody think DWCH will make money off of this?? :o) DATAWATCH: Report storage to protect data against millennium bug APR 27, 1999, M2 Communications - Applications such as Monarch/ES may be used to protect valuable data against Year 2000 threat - according to loading enterprise-reporting organisation Datawatch International Companies that are yet to achieve Year 2000 compliance or are concerned for the security of valuable data held within legacy IT systems, can now protect their business against the new millennium with enterprise reporting systems, according to Datawatch International - whose solution, Monarch/ES, is Year 2000 compliant. Monarch/ES not only helps extend legacy systems that are not applying a 'date window to the 2-digit dates, but extends the window into a full 4-digit year with the relevant century. Whilst systems are self-consistent in terms of handling 2-digit years, they fail when interfacing with other systems. Monarch/ES provides an effective solution without requiring any redevelopment or significant re-testing of systems, and it can be applied methodically across a range of systems. "Monarch/ES operates by storing data and reports in a separate repository that runs alongside existing reporting and storage systems," commented Tony Sumpster, Director of UK Operations at Datawatch International. "All data in the repository can be standardised by running simple data routines, so in the case of Year 2000 compliance, data is automatically converted from two to four digits," he added. Different date windows can be established for different reports, to ensure that not only is historic: data correctly interpreted, but that prospective reports are date stamped correctly too. Monarch/ES builds on the existing infrastructure and allows users to make static report data come alive, enabling companies to preserve the knowledge that went into their reporting systems while also adding powerful business intelligence capabilities. Monarch/ES allows user's to access archived information and adapt it into more recent reports, by using the system to simplify the distribution of report files, and transfer them into 'report marts'. This turns the report archives into the equivalent of a data warehouse or data mart that holds the information in a central database that remains secure. Users can however access specific reports and print them off on their local printer, through a distributed print capability. At the desktop, Monarch/ES also supports secure report distribution on the Internet and internal Intranets. Datawatch's advanced Portable Report technology is used to encapsulate report pages with index information to create self-contained reports that can be delivered across the Internet. Portable reports are compressed, encrypted and password protected to prevent unauthorised access.
