Pervasive Software Integration Hub Takes Data Management to the Next Level

Business Partner Data Hub Enables Automated Master Management Process
AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in embeddable data
management and agile data integration software, today announced the release of
Pervasive Integration Hub, a configurable integration solution which provides
organizations with the ability to quickly create and easily maintain a centrally
managed business partner hub. The second in a series of Pervasive Data
Integrator-based solutions, Pervasive Integration Hub allows businesses to
rapidly on-board customers, suppliers and partners.

Pervasive Integration Hub provides a comprehensive solution to a common
integration scenario - a centralized hub needs to integrate with large numbers
of business partners, typically using different data file formats and protocols
and employing different data semantics and rules. The integration hub provides
organizations with a central location and master process to manage profiles,
define rules, and organize and validate customer data - regardless of the number
of business partners, volume of information or number of different data formats.
In addition, reaching data sources behind the business partner firewall is often
a challenge. Pervasive Integration Hub includes distributed "intelligent agents"
that can be used to both extract data from business partner systems, as well as
update and insert data back into business partner applications. Consequently,
the software has the ability to take the bulk of the work out of integration by
delivering remote, end-to-end integration directly with a business partner`s
whole range of applications. The easily deployed Pervasive Integration Agent
decreases the time and investment typically required to on-ramp, monitor and
manage new customers, suppliers or partners. Built on top of Pervasive`s
industry-leading integration software, Pervasive Data Integrator, Pervasive
Integration Hub allows companies to take data integration to the next level.

"CareMedic provides business intelligence and revenue cycle redesign through our
eFR Network. CareMedic was intrigued by the business possibilities and potential
competitive advantages of the Pervasive Integration Hub," said Andy Hedgecock,
senior integration architect at CareMedic Systems, an industry leader in
proactive financial management and revenue cycle management for hospitals and
providers. "As an existing Pervasive Data Integrator and Pervasive Data Profiler
customer, we are pleased with how this new offering will complement our existing
integration solution. Pervasive Integration Hub will allow us to normalize our
process to implementation, testing and rollout to production and allow us the
ability to streamline the sharing of data across the eFR Network and provide
speed to value for our customers. Likewise, we also now have the increased
ability to easily adjust maps and processes to update changes in customers`
business rules or data formats."

Pervasive Integration Hub is a metadata-rich, highly scalable platform designed
to create a central hub to manage complex data pipelines and data flows to and
from external business partners. In-house IT staff can now easily manage
heterogeneous incoming data formats through an automated process of retrieving
customer data, transforming it according to specified business rules and
formatting parameters and loading it into target repositories - through an
easy-to-use visual interface. The Pervasive Integration Agent is a lightweight,
self-contained run-time agent that contains everything necessary to execute an
integration process, including connectors, maps, business rules, error handling,
transformation logic, etc. The Pervasive Integration Agent can easily be
deployed at trading partner or other "connection endpoint" sites, and connects
over the Internet to the Pervasive Integration Hub. Designed to minimize the
barriers to potential business partners, Pervasive Integration Hub provides
organizations with a unique competitive advantage, the ability to decrease
on-ramp time and increase data integrity.

By supporting dynamic data processing automation, Pervasive Integration Hub
provides:

* Configuration Management - Easily maintain hundreds of business partners` and
others` data
* Pre-Defined Master Integration Processes - Simplify data management
requirements
* Pre-Built Sub-Processes - Leverage third-party utilities
* Restartability - Logging thread tracks the state of the last step and allows
the user to restart from that point
* Custom Configuration - Master process can be quickly adjusted as needs change

"Pervasive Integration Hub marks another significant phase in data integration,"
said Mike Hoskins, Pervasive CTO and general manager for Integration Products at
Pervasive Software. "Organizations no longer have to budget for weeks or months
to on-ramp additional customers or business partners. Pervasive Integration Hub
can simplify and reduce this process to a matter of days or hours. Unlike
competing offerings, the value of Pervasive Integration Hub increases as the
number of business partners involved increases - truly achieving `buy once,
integrate many`. Efficiently managing internal and external data volumes,
Pervasive is committed to providing the most robust integration offerings that
can scale as organizations grow."
