Rapid Software Corporation

"Moving, acting, or occurring with great speed."

Rapid Software Corporation's Enterprise (ENT) was built to integrate quickly and enable existing applications to have access to data from other systems throughout the organization. The technology integrates rapidly and makes it interoperate with your current data sources. ENT is able to adapt to multiple needs within an organization and is flexible enough to be used in simple or extremely complicated systems. Rapid Enterprise is a program that enables your data to flow between different types of databases and other sources of data, whenever you want, and wherever they may be located. From simple data transfer needs, to detailed data manipulation, Rapid Enterprise provides the tools to integrate and deploy most systems in under 3 hours.

Flexible setup options allow you to choose to maintain the setup of Rapid Enterprise yourself or you can use a fixed configuration. If you want to use a fixed configuration, the setup of Rapid Enterprise is built in advance according to your requirements. Rapid Software uses the native interfaces from different database vendors to maximize the speed of data transfer, where possible. The typical speed is 5.000-10.000 records per minute. Choose to have transfers run automatically and repeatedly whenever you want with the use of a built-in scheduler, choose to manually run transfers from the Rapid Enterprise Command Center application or from a command line prompt. You can even run transfers from the Setup Application itself.
