Syspedia is designed to analyze all your enterprise environments.  It does this by examining file layout formats from a variety of platforms and development languages. The product can extract data element definitions from these layouts because it searches for various common generic file layout formats and adjusts accordingly.  From COBOL to Visual Basic to Java Syspedia can incorporate almost any data element definition from any database or file system.

Also since most DBMSs must have other interfaces, Syspedia can import definitions directly into its repository from XML or other DBMS compatible interfaces.  These interfaces are dependent on the installed platform and DBMS rather than Syspedia since its uses standard DBMS definitions for data element definitions.

The product components are Java based and can be accessed through a web browser or through a simple command line interface.  Syspedia interfaces with most if not all file systems and databases to quickly and easily extract your data element information into the Syspedia Business Process Analysis Repository.

Syspedia is designed to interface and integrate easily into your enterprise's various environments and development lifecycle.  The Knowledge Discovery extract module is designed to be incorporated or interface with any expanded source code.  This allows Syspedia to have the most up to date information regarding your systems, applications and data elements.

All the extract processing is based off source module timestamp information to determine whether changes should be captured.   All of Syspedia's information can be accessed through a standard web browser. 
 

Since the Knowledge Discovery component can be installed in a variety of database configurations and uses standard JDBC connectivity, it can be easily configured into your network.
