Description

NatWorks, Incorporated - General Information NatWorks, Inc is a privately held Corporation with headquarters located in Northfield , Vermont (USA). NatWorks was formally established in January of 1998, and was started by a former Software AG Senior Systems Engineer who specialized in the Software AG product Super Natural. NatWorks currently has a worldwide presence through its partnerships, and has customers in England, France, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Brazil, the Philippines, Canada and the United States. [ Back to Top ] NatWorks’ Mission Software AG's ADABAS is truly a superior database management system, one that offers outstanding performance, maintainability and recoverability. As powerful as ADABAS is, NatWorks feels that there has been a historical problem in regards to handling the ever-expanding need for data extraction. With virtually all database systems on the market today, easy access to data is not particularly an issue as most of these databases were built to conform to relational theory, thus allowing these databases to be easily accessed via SQL / ODBC tools. While SQL / ODBC tools can in fact be made to work against ADABAS, the plain fact of the matter is that ADABAS was never built to adhere to this standard - think of SQL as being a square relational peg being retrofitted to fit in a round inverted-list hole. Providing SQL access to ADABAS is typically invasive to the Natural / ADABAS server platform, SQL solutions are usually quite expensive, performance is a pervasive concern, and installing SQL access may impact subsequent upgrades of Software AG products. In examining the various approaches to providing flexible access to data stored in ADABAS, two facts present themselves: - At NatWorks Incorporated, we strongly feel that the most cost-effective approach to resolving data extraction issues with ADABAS should embrace these facts, not ignore them as other vendors have chosen to do. NatWorks, Incorporated knows what you know about data extraction and ADABAS: The tools you need to effectively handle ADABAS extraction tasks are already present within a Software AG environment; it shouldn’t (always) require a programmer or DBA to get at your data. The answer to removing the need for programmers or DBAs is simple: Intelligently and automatically generate the objects that would normally be manually created. Our products solve the problem of data extraction and Change Data Capture from ADABAS by leveraging the tools that a Software AG customer already has, using an approach that is straightforward, cost-effective, efficient and that simply makes sense from every point of view. NatWorks is proud to offer NatQuery and NatCDCSP to customers of Software AG, fitting solutions for data extraction problems against ADABAS environments where NATURAL also exists. [ Back to Top ] NatWorks’ Products NatWorks currently offers two products, NatQuery and NatCDCSP. Information on these products can be found on our Product Information Page .
