2 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// MUCH LESS COMPLICATED OFTEN, DATA INTEGRATION CAN BE A COMPLICATED AFFAIR. BESPOKE SOFTWARE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS A SPECIFIC NEED IS NOT ONLY EXPENSIVE, BUT TIME-CONSUMING AND DIFFICULT TO MANAGE. DEVELOPMENT, TECHNICAL, AND DOMAIN EXPERTISE ARE ALL REQUIRED FOR A SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION PROJECT; OFTEN THESE ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY, OR AT A PREMIUM. IMAN CUTS A LOT OF THAT HASSLE OUT. IMAN: QUICK LOOK CODE-FREE COST-EFFECTIVE HIGHLY CONFIGURABLE SIMPLE TO USE RAPID IMPLEMENTATION Our code-free approach to integration means: Non-programmers can create and maintain integrations No lengthy implementations Integrate virtually any application with Sage Accpac, Sage200, SageCRM & Web-Based Payment Gateways Easy management of multiple integrations from one place By reducing complication, we can reduce both project timelines and integration costs increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of your organisation. This really is data integration made simple.

3 FLEXIBLE & EASY TO USE FLEXIBLE & EASY TO USE FLEXIBILTITY IMAN OFFERS A LEVEL OF CONFIGURABILITY COMPARABLE TO MUCH LARGER, MORE EXPENSIVE INTEGRATION PRODUCTS: A large data transformation toolset to handle even the most complex data integration requirements. A sequenced, node-based designer, allowing data to be manipulated into virtually any form. One-To-Many Integration allowing a single set of data to be split as many ways you require, so a diverse set of applications and/or application endpoints can be updated from one data source. Duplex Integration Whether it s just an update flag or full synchronisation of data, updating a data source is paramount in integration. IMan provides you with a rich set of functionality to push back data to its source in any form. Intrinsic hierarchical data capability for multi-level header/detail type data structures Our supremely flexible scripting is one of the cornerstones of IMan. Everything from the smallest formula to the most complex procedures is supported.

A simple click-and-drag interface provides a highly configurable and visual tool for designing integrations. View results live - One of our unique features is to view, within the designer, the results of each transformation and integration point on the fly. Each transform and connector presents a clear and consistent look and feel, enabling quick familiarisation. Drag Transform Onto Pallette PAGE 4

5 UPDATES & MODIFICATION When business processes change or when the layout of the data changes, the way you handle your data changes. FLEXIBLE & EASY TO USE Modifying your integrations to accommodate these changes are made quickly and without having to re-design or re-create: Adding new fields & record types and deleting existing ones are made transparently and without hassle. IMan s data connectors automatically detect schema changes, propagating them immediately across the integration. Field & Record Transformation Setup Data Transformation Preview ONE APPLICATION FOR ALL USERS We use a single web UI for both designers and end-users, making installation and deployment as painless as possible. IT S THAT SIMPLE This level of flexibility & simplicity can effectively reduce a integration project that can take weeks or months to days saving you money as well as time. PAGE 5

6 BETTER CONNECTIONS FOR BETTER INTEGRATION BETTER CONNECTIONS FOR BETTER INTEGRATION APPLICATION CONNECTORS APPLICATION CONNECTIVITY IS ONE OF THE CORNERSTONES OF IMAN. The connectors allow you pass data into your application using its API, ensuring business logic and error handling is consistent with what you expect. All of our connectors offer deep connectivity with both master and transactional data. To support duplex integration and traceability our connectors capture key data fields, such as transaction, document & posting numbers, from the application back to the dataset. This provides a powerful auditing capability allowing you to keep a close eye on your integrations. IMan has connectors for Accpac, Sage200, SageCRM and web-based payment processors such as SagePay and Cybersource. Each connector provides a range of application touch points to enable a wide scope of integration possibilities: Web- Order; Purchase & Procurement; Point-Of-Sale; Manufacturing & Distribution systems. CONNECTIVITY DEEP CONNECTIVITY AUDIT SUPPORT SAGE & PAYMENT PROCESSORS PAGE 6

7 BETTER CONNECTIONS FOR BETTER INTEGRATION BETTER CONNECTED DATA CONNECTORS As with all good integration software, IMan s data connectors provide the ability to read from and write to a variety of common formats. Our data readers provide schema detection to fast-track integration setup, and the data writers provide the broad flexibility to comply with practically layout. WORKFLOW To facilitate workflow and alerting, data can be distributed by as either embedded data tables or as attachments. The s can be generated as part of a more complex integration job, or simply as a query from an existing data source.. SUPPORTING ACTIONS To support integration IMan provides tools for file handling and FTP connectivity, and to address bespoke requirements there are custom script & process execution actions. This level of connectivity and support makes it easy to exchange data between your applications, thereby providing you with a single and comprehensive integration platform. CONNECTIVITY XML, TEXT, ODBC/OLE DB AND EXCEL FORMATS FILE, FTP/SSH & HTTP SOURCES BASED WORKFLOW & ALERTING PAGE 7

8 KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR DATA KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR DATA AUDITABILITY KEEPING TRACK OF THE DATA PASSED BETWEEN APPLICATIONS IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT WHETHER IT S RECONCILING INFORMATION OR TRACKING WHERE THE DATA HAS COME FROM. This is one area where IMan sets itself apart from the rest. One of its central features is a set of auditing and tracing capabilities, designed to enable custom audit and compliance reporting both in realtime and historically. To aid audit and reconciliation, integration results can be summarised into any form you require, to show exactly the data you want to see. Data can be pulled from the working dataset showing you what s been processed. What s more, each transformation includes a set of counters, from number of new transactions to the number of errors, facilitating quick reconciliation between your applications. Data validation is provided through customisable logs helping you to identify offending data in a way that makes sense to your organisation. And naturally IMan includes highly robust exception handling and error logging.

9 KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR DATA SCHEDULING Regular integrations are vital for keeping your data up-to-date. IMan offers the ability for integrations to be scheduled on a recurring basis, run ad hoc, or triggered through a file-based event. Together, these capabilities keep you on top of your data. After all, these days full accountability is more important than ever IT S THAT SIMPLE This level of flexibility & simplicity can effectively reduce a integration project that can take weeks or months to days saving you money as well as time.
