Jitterbit Prepares EAI Solution for the Masses

By Andy Patrizio

February 15, 2006 — Companies looking to link applications on a departmental or small-business level often have found themselves overlooked by the providers of enterprise application integration software, according to the CEO of a start-up called Jitterbit, which is looking to fill that space with a like-named open-source application integration solution, due later this year.

“EAI systems are highly complex and difficult to implement,” said Sharam Sasson, CEO of Jitterbit. “What we are proposing is a model where we [cost] a fraction of the price. We want this tool to be so simple we will change the paradigm of integration.

Sasson asserted that solutions from EAI vendors—a long list that includes such companies as IBM and TIBCO—are meant for the high end of the computing scale by the largest of firms. Their products aren’t meant to integrate a group using Office, a database and an e-mail server. That’s exactly the market Jitterbit intends for its software; pricing has yet to be finalized.

Jitterbit provides a point-and-click interface between a server and an application, said Sasson, and the rest is done by wizards. Jitterbit will support most communication protocols, including FTP, HTTP, file shares, Web services and databases using any ODBC driver. It will recognize both flat and hierarchical data formats, including XML, EDI, X.12, Edifax and XML DTD schemes. JNI and JDBC will be added in the future, said Sasson.

Jitterbit will come in two editions—an unsupported open-source version and a commercial product, which he said will add administration tools, scaling and clustering, warm failover and an upgrade migration tool, plus full help-desk, training and consulting from the company.

Source code for Linux and Windows is available now at www.Jitterbit.com under an amended version of version 1.1 of the Mozilla Public License.
