The Database Challenge

Most companies have ways to track and maintain data. In some cases, it can be as simple as using a fileserver for storing documents. In others, it might rely on using a relational database server. Databases store a variety of data types, both structured and unstructured, and provide secure and reliable access to the data. However, if you are using a standard SQL database, you certainly know how hard it can be to manage disparate sources and types of data. Furthermore, controlling who has access to the data can add levels of complexity that quickly become unmanageable. Intalio|DB addresses this challenge, in a reliable, scalable and secure manner, while focusing on user friendliness.

Relational-Hierarchical Structure

In a relational database, tables can be used to organize information, and relationships can be mapped between multiple tables. As well as this can work, mapping the relationships can become quite complex over time. Intalio|DB's relational-hierarchical structure makes it simpler to manage both structured and unstructured data. For example, if you wanted to store unstructured data — such as an e-mail — in a flat table database, you would have to break up the content of the e-mail and store the bits of information in separate fields within the table. And if you wanted to provide relationships between this email and the sender and receiver, you would need to have those mapped to the appropriate tables. With Intalio|DB, all you need to do is set up an entity for the e-mail, and you're done.

Access Control Permissions

Whether you are a college maintaining student records, or a bank managing large amounts of private financial information, you need to make sure that the right people have access to the right information. With Intalio|DB, records can be assigned based on roles, users, and teams, and can be easily reassigned when needed (Cf. Access Control).

Change Log

As important as it is to make sure that the right users have access to the information they need, your company needs to understand how information changes, and by whom changes are made. Intalio|DB offers a complete change log to track how data is modified over time, so that not only can you verify and re-verify the accuracy of your data, but you can also ensure total compliance and accountability.

Full Text Search

Searching through both structured and unstructured data can be time consuming, especially when the search has to be performed field by field. Intalio|DB's full text search capabilities make sure that you find what you are looking for, no matter where that data resides, quickly and easily.
