Welcome to Computer Corporation of America.
State of the Enterprise
Every enterprise is drowning in data, and the levels keep rising. Current systems increase data requirements
with each transaction. Upgrades and new applications capture more data that has to be managed along
with what's already on hand. And e-business demands virtually 100% data availability.
And it's not just the data. Application changes have deadlines in terms of hours instead of weeks. Your users
need effective analytical tools to make sense of all the data. And your customers, partners, suppliers and employees
expect your systems to handle more interactions, process them faster, and leverage more corporate data. Are your
systems up to the job? With the built-in flexibility to handle what the future holds?
With Challenge Comes Opportunity
Overwhelming as it may seem, it's also very exciting. Because it's a chance to tackle major system challenges that
will have a direct and dramatic impact on your organization's business. Competitive advantage requires
outstanding technology - unmatched transaction and query performance, unsurpassed levels of scalability, flexibility
and capacity - and nimble handling of change. In short, a powerful, agile enterprise.
With the right data management solution, you can capitalize on this opportunity while creating an infrastructure with
the power and flexibility to handle future ones. And part of the right data management solution is making sure you've got
the right provider. Have you considered Computer Corporation of America?

"With Model 204, we can do 1,800 transactions per second.
If there is another database out there that can
perform that fast, we haven't seen it."

Business Intelligence:
The Source of Competitive Advantage
When it comes to building an agile enterprise that can
respond to changes to your markets and audiences in a
heartbeat, high-performance data management technology is
only part of the solution. You need more than fast
transactions and high-capacity storage. You also need your
enterprise data transformed into business intelligence to
reveal new and unexpected insights. The right data
management solution not only manages your data but also
helps you leverage it to enhance operations and gain
competitive advantage.
Computer Corporation of America has long realized that
business intelligence is the real payoff from large-scale
data management applications. CCA's renowned bit-map
indexing technology allows mammoth quantities of data to be
searched, summarized, and analyzed in seconds. That's
real-time business intelligence.
Best of all, CCA's analytical tools make it possible for
non-technical professionals to explore the data on their own
- without the need for IT assistance. With ease of use,
speed to spare, and enterprise-level capacity, CCA's
analytical tools deliver business intelligence from all your
data sources to all your users.
"Our clients in the automobile industry require
instantaneous answers. Model 204's trademark
indexing technology is the only way we can meet
their demands. Plus, the robust 4GL helps us
implement custom solutions in no time."
- Paul VanderMarliere
Senior Vice President of Business Development

Enterprise Integration: The Big Picture
Business intelligence, however, is only a means to an end.
It helps you understand how to improve your business, but
it's up to your organization to make the requisite changes.
In today's enterprise, business changes invariably mean
systems changes. And if it takes too long to update your
organization's systems, you may miss the business
opportunity.
If your organization is like most enterprises, you've chosen
a variety of software applications based on their
proficiency at certain tasks, and deployed them
strategically. If it's important that all your computing
environments share data and information seamlessly - and
when isn't it? - your data management solution provider had
better be committed to an enterprise perspective - not one
focused on applications.
That's why CCA's data management solutions are
standards-based, and support enterprise integration-enabling
technologies such as IBM MQSeries. That way, for example,
the new e-business application you built with CCA's Internet
tools can immediately feed customer orders to your existing
PeopleSoft financial software which, in turn, can populate a
CCA-based data warehouse used by product managers to
analyze product line profitability. CCA does it all in
real time, all without user or programmer intervention, and
all without re-engineering current applications.
That's just one example of the enterprise integration that's
the foundation for building an agile enterprise. And it's
built in to CCA's data management solutions.
Summary
CCA prides itself on its mastery of the complexities of
large-scale data management, and we're committed to helping
you leverage both legacy and Web-based IT resources to
enhance your business. These core values infuse every one of
our software products. And they empower customers, partners,
suppliers and employees to utilize all your data assets to
maximize the success of your enterprise.
