Liaison's Contivo Vocabulary Management Solution (VMS) offers innovative, customer-proven integration design-time technology for EAI, B2B, and SOA data transformation.

VMS simplifies data transformation and adapts to your data and environment. Use VMS to:

Deliver data transforms. Transforms overcome differences between interfaces. Use VMS to quickly develop transformation mappings then deploy them as executable code in the most popular integration runtime environments such as BEA, IBM, SAP XI, Tibco, and webMethods, as well as hardware appliances like DataPower or your own Java or Xalan XSLT runtime environment. Quickly and accurately designing, testing, and deploying these transforms can be the difference between integration success and cost overruns, delays and ultimate abandonment of an integration strategy.

Deliver a shared vocabulary. When you work with applications and partners you learn more about the meaning and impact of each data field has on your business. Without a shared vocabulary that knowledge is lost. The VMS shared vocabulary terms and rules retain this knowledge to accelerate your integration projects.

Deliver reports. Planning and execution of integration projects is typically hampered by a lack of detailed knowledge about of the scope and impact of proposed changes. With VMS vocabulary, gap, and impact analysis reports, you get the precise information needed to accurately plan your project. Impact analysis answers the "where used" question and gap analysis identifies and resolves gaps prior to development and testing.
