Sypherlink Launches Harvester Version 2.0

Includes Advanced Filtering Heuristics and Intuitive User Interface 

Dublin, OH, Feb. 3, 2003 -- Sypherlink, a leading technology firm that enables information sharing across multiple data sources and provides information access controls, has launched Sypherlink: Harvester 2.0.  Already shown to significantly reduce the time and cost of data sharing projects by automating the data source profiling and data-mapping processes, this new release of Harvester adds advanced filtering heuristics and an intuitive user interface.

“Sypherlink continues to improve on the ability of organizations to accelerate the data-sharing process by minimizing the required amount of domain expertise and automating many of the tasks that typically require substantial manual effort,” said James Paat, Sypherlink President and CEO. 

“With this release, a second layer of heuristics is built into the user interface itself.  With a simple command or mouse click, users can more easily mask non-relevant relationships and finalize the mapping process.”

 Harvester 2.0 includes the following:

• Filtering Heuristics -- Second level of advanced heuristics provides additional intelligence about the relationships found by Harvester and allows for more sophisticated editing by directing the user to areas that will require their attention.  This would include, for example, duplicate tables, tables with no values, or temporary fields. Additionally, users are able to conduct impact assessments and analyze how different scenarios and configurations would impact their final results.

• Harvester Relationship Manager -- New user interface makes it significantly easier to review, adjust and edit the field level relationships among multiple data sources.
