Syncsort joins Microsoft’s one commercial partner program to help companies move data to the cloud

Syncsort, the global provider in Big Iron to Big Data software, announced it has been named to Microsoft’s One Commercial Partner program to support customers’ Microsoft Azure Cloud initiatives. Syncsort’s data integration and data quality solutions efficiently move data of any kind to Azure, transforming it so it’s analytics-ready and improving and maintaining the quality of the data as it’s stored and analysed in the cloud.

The cloud is an overwhelmingly popular option for deploying applications and storing data due to its flexible architecture, low cost and elasticity, but it presents challenges when the data originating from other platforms needs to be archived or integrated.

Organisations must move their data, cleanse and transform it so it’s ready for analytics in the cloud. This can be time consuming and, in the case of legacy platforms like mainframes, very complex due to incompatible data formats and storage practices. Once in the cloud, the data must be kept up-to-date and of the highest quality to ensure accurate, trusted analytics on which to base business decisions.

“More and more organisations are looking to store data and build, manage and deploy applications in the cloud, but moving data can be complex and ensuring its accuracy can be challenging,” said Tendü Yogurtçu, CTO, Syncsort.

“Syncsort focuses on simplifying data access, integration and quality for trusted insights in enterprise-wide analytics, irrespective of its source or use case, including the cloud. Achieving co-sell status with Microsoft is a great recognition of how we help support joint customers in their cloud journeys.”

The Syncsort Integrate portfolio features software specifically designed to support high performance data integration and data quality with Microsoft Azure:

• Trillium quality for Microsoft Dynamics CRM provides advanced data quality processing software embedded within Dynamics CRM to support a single view of the customer in Dynamics 365, whether the data is entered manually, imported from a different data source or already existing in the CRM database. Built using the Microsoft Dynamics plug-in architecture, this solution enables organisations to establish complete, accurate and unified CRM records in less than 30 days.
• DMX-h for Hadoop and Spark, DMX high performance ETL and Change Data Capture (CDC) allows organisations to securely access all data from across the enterprise and integrate it in Microsoft Azure, including from streaming sources, legacy systems and relational databases. Its high-performance, high-efficiency, resiliency and no-code design saves organisations time and resources so they can realise value from their cloud deployments quickly.
