Introduction

IBM Sterling Transformation Extender is a powerful industry-leading data integration and transformation solution that enables the development of high-volume, complex data integrations without the need for hand-coding.

IBM Sterling Transformation Extender enables your organization to integrate industry-based customer, supplier and business partner transactions across the enterprise and provides industry-leading transformation capabilities supporting many types of data, with native support for JSON, XML or any proprietary data format.

IBM Sterling Transformation Extender provides an easy-to-use browser-based development environment and supports centralized team-based collaboration. The integrated design platform makes it easy for your team to create data flows of any complexity, and to deploy these to a runtime server.

Data integrations can be invoked by use of REST APIs, that run on a scheduled basis, or can be triggered upon a variety of events, such as the arrival of a message on a queue, or the creation of a file. ITX provides a large set of adapters that interface to databases, applications, APIs, messaging middleware and other technologies. A typical integration may read data from one or more sources, validate, transform and merge data, then forward the results to one or more target resources.

IBM Sterling Transformation Extender can engage data residing in the cloud – and in various hybrid cloud contexts – enabling easy access and integration of data and evolving technologies, protecting your development investments.

Additional available advanced transformation support provides metadata for mapping, compliance checking and related processing functions for specific industries — including finance, healthcare and supply chain.
