As the economic marketplace on the Internet matures, it is becoming increasingly critical that companies have an architecture and infrastructure that is open, flexible, and efficient in order to keep pace with customer expectations and competitive opportunities. DAT is dedicated, and uniquely able, to providing both the technology and the consulting expertise to meet these growing demands of e-business.

DAT has achieved a leadership position in the industry for technology development with its new generation of products and services for enterprise integration, based on distributed object and Web services technologies.

This leadership is a reflection of our in-depth understanding of how to bring all your business demands and the technology together. Our expertise in defining client requirements, designing an enterprise architecture, tooling for client infrastructure components, metadata and code generation, and automated development result in an open, efficient, and flexible e-business enterprise system, a system that enables our clients to maximize efficiency, market exposure, and revenues.

Our architects and developers use the latest methodologies and Web-based tools (such as Java, UML, Corba�, XML, ebXML, Enterprise Java Beans, and application servers). DAT's expertise in model-driven automated development and model driven architecture (MDA) ensures that you will have applications and an enterprise system that both solves your problems today and are a lasting asset. DAT has committed to releasing Component-X™ for ebXML, which will read and write ebXML business process specification, browse the ebXML repository, and communicated via ebXML the ebXML transport using adapters.

DAT's Component-X™ technology and methodology makes it possible - for the first time - to describe the pieces of your business and connect technology-independent business components to the technology of choice using adapters. The process is real-time and uses a high level visual design. Component X™ assembly replaces most hand-written code. You set the specifications, and Component X™ makes it work in the technology that suits your needs best (be it XML, ebXML, Corba�, HTML, Java, etc.). And applications developed with Component-X™ can work across platforms, giving them a wider range of utility and ease of use. Component-X™ reduces development time and costs while preserving an industrial strength infrastructure.

An outgrowth of Data Access Corporation, a company with a 20 year history and over 400,000 product licenses worldwide, DAT is helping to define the industry standards for open systems development. And we are in the forefront of implementing them. That is what makes DAT a leader in the business-to-business e-commerce and enterprise integration and Web services marketplace.
