SRS Announces New General Release
-- MDE™ V4.0 --

Peabody, MA July 2004 – Strategic Reporting Systems (SRS) announced today the release of Mumps Data Extractor (MDE™) V4.0. This version: (i) expands MDE’s supported M/Cache platforms to include InterSystems Cache V4.1.16 running on VMS; (ii) adds a new enhancement to the MDE Client permitting it to wait indefinitely for a data extraction response from the MDE Server; and (iii) contains a number of other data extraction enhancements. With this and future planned MDE releases, SRS is enabling MDE users to operate with the latest InterSystems M/Cache systems.

MDE™ is a COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) middleware application that natively reads the FileMan-based M/Cache' system, extracts then delivers data and pre-built SQL tables into relational data warehouses/marts, databases or applications. Unique to MDE™ is that it does not require underlying M-based SQL, SQL mappings, or M/Cache’ programming to be performed.

Within sixty minutes of installation, MDE™ allows a system’s data to be available for use in mainstream technologies, Examples are data warehouse/mart, RDBMS such as ORACLE and SQL Server, Web-based applications, OLAP, products such as ReportSmith®, Crystal®, SAS, ProClarity®, or desktop applications such as Microsoft® Excel, Word, Access, or Lotus® Notes.

Brian Wells, Chief Technology Officer of SRS, commented, “With these enhancements MDE continues it role as the best tool for extracting data from FileMan-based M/Cache systems. Our users, both national and local, have a product to enhance their current solutions or to undertake new initiatives, which solutions require data to be extracted from VistA and CHCS reliably, efficiently, and swiftly each time MDE is used.”

“MDE is available for purchase through the VA PCHS2 contract using the MPC schedule. MDE customers wishing to upgrade should contact SRS directly” noted Dave Lenhart, General Manager of SRS.”
