Next-Generation Integration Capabilities From Archer Technologies Provide a Holistic View of Enterprise Data to Support

OVERLAND PARK, KS, Jul 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
Archer Technologies (Archer), a provider of enterprise governance, risk
and compliance solutions, today announced the release of its Data Feed
Manager, which provides a new way for companies to perform rapid
integrations between industry-leading products and the Archer SmartSuite
Framework. Designed for use by technical business analysts, the Data Feed
Manager allows Archer clients and partners to use the Archer Framework as
a point of consolidation, bringing together data from any source for
correlation, analysis, process management and reporting.

"A vital component of any governance, risk and compliance program is the
ability to form an aggregate view of risks, vulnerabilities, metrics and
operational data within the enterprise," says Jon Darbyshire, president
and CEO of Archer Technologies. "With the Data Feed Manager, Archer is
putting power in the hands of technical business users to rapidly
integrate enterprise data systems with the Archer SmartSuite Framework.
This is a new market concept that we developed in collaboration with our
customers, and we believe it will shape the future development of new
integration products."

Putting Power in the Hands of Business Users

With an API, integration projects typically involve a team of developers
and weeks of effort. In contrast, the Data Feed Manager allows a single
business user to configure multiple, dynamic data feeds within a day. The
point-and-click, drag-and-drop interface of the Data Feed Manager walks
users through this simple four-step process:

1. Connect with the external data source.
2. Filter and modify the external data so only desired information
is imported.
3. Map the external data to Archer applications.
4. Schedule the data feed so it will run automatically.

Business users can also easily modify data integrations over time
through the same graphical interface.

"Across our global organization, we need to understand and act on
increasingly complex data collected by multiple point solutions," says Jay
Leek, Manager of Corporate IT Security Services for a multinational mobile
device manufacturer. "The Archer team listened to our requirements and
worked with us to develop a solution that gives us a flexible framework
for taking in data from any source. As a result, we can provide users with
information that is relevant to their job function, and we can reuse data
to support a range of business processes across our organization."

Integration Solutions on the Archer Exchange

Before beginning a new integration project, clients can browse for
pre-built integration packages on the Archer Exchange, an online
marketplace dedicated to supporting enterprise governance, risk and
compliance (GRC) initiatives. Leading providers of asset management
systems, performance management solutions, vulnerability scanning tools
and other GRC products are using the Data Feed Manager to integrate with
the Archer SmartSuite Framework. Hundreds of these pre-built integration
packages will be available on the Archer Exchange for download and rapid
deployment.

"In a recent engagement with a global shipping company, the Archer Data
Feed Manager enabled us to quickly build feeds for importing and
transforming new and legacy data from disparate sources, all in an
organized and easily scheduled manner. We leveraged the data feed
capabilities to aggregate incident reporting as well as facility,
shipping, and personnel data within the Archer SmartSuite Framework,"
says Meka Egwuekwe, Senior Architect for Lokion, a leading business
services company. "The speed with which we were able to deliver the right
solution to our client was tremendous. We feel the Data Feed Manager
marks a new standard for user-friendly, seamless data integration and
truly sets Archer apart from the competition."
