Pierbridge CASP is an Enterprise Information Integration (EII) technology designed to quickly unify and adapt disparate enterprise information to specific business requirements. With its focus on empowering the desktop workflow, CASP delivers the right information, to the right users, in the right business context.

Pierbridge CASP can be used to either 1) create new solutions, or 2) enrich existing browser-based solutions by overlaying new information on legacy processes. CASP is non-intrusive and provides a shared view of customers, supply chain, and employee activities across the Enterprise and beyond.

Build on Microsoft .NET, CASP is deployed as a Web Service that sits behind the enterprise firewall. CASP consists of five (5) main components:

• Connectors: use XML, ODBC, OLE DB, SOAP, APIs and other integration standards to provide real-time links with disparate data sources. Connectors extract and present information elements from these sources to Pierbridge Server in a form that masks the underlying complexity.
  
  
• Data Engine: manages the input, output, joining, and processing of information within a “virtual” dataset, while the actual data remains intact within their source domains. With permissions, the CASP data engine can read from or write back to data sources. Administrators have the option of creating new SQL databases.
  
  
• Composer: provides simple “drag and drop” tools and wizards for creating front-end applications from the virtual dataset. Business analysts can “compose” in minutes what would otherwise take programmers weeks or months to accomplish, significantly lowering the costs and risks associated with other integration alternatives. Adapting to business change is not a problem.
  
  
• Interactive Desktops (IAD): are deployed as Clients at the desktop, seamlessly integrating composite applications within Microsoft Internet Explorer, Outlook, or Sharepoint front-ends. IADs dynamically communicate with the Pierbridge Server across the Internet, subject to IAD user permissions defined by the Administrator. IADs link to Microsoft Office to leverage productivity tools and automate fulfillment tasks.
  
  
• Administrator: projects are managed from a centralized administrative console that enables IT personnel to control deployment, security, user access to projects, and Composer development tools. The Administrator tool bar is accessible within Internet Explorer which means support personnel can provide remote support.

Whether you need to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of customer service or optimize your supply chain, CASP enables businesses to achieve the vision of a truly unified, agile, and proactive enterprise.
