Ab Initio: Get To Know High-End Transaction Processing's Mysterious Leader

by Rob Karel, Merv Adrian

with Connie Moore, Jamie Barnett, Norman Nicolson


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Enterprise architects and information managers often have to face very high value information management, performance, complexity, and scalability challenges. Only some find technology solutions that can tackle these challenges, but Ab Initio is a vendor that repeatedly surfaces. Two groups know of Ab Initio: One of the groups considers it to be a secretive company staffed by technologists that avoid proactive sales and marketing like the plague; the other group comprises customers who agree with the first group, but who would also declare that Ab Initio's software ranks as one of the more critical IT investments their companies have made. If you are responsible for managing high transaction or data processing volumes, have a heterogeneous systems environment, fear your current infrastructure may not scale to support future growth, or are looking for substantial productivity and capability improvements over traditional technologies — it may be time to roll up your sleeves, open your mind, block out a significant amount of time in your calendar (seriously), and give Ab Initio a call.
