IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® is a leading ETL platform that integrates data across multiple enterprise systems. It leverages a high performance parallel framework, available on-premises or in the cloud. The scalable platform provides extended metadata management and enterprise connectivity. It integrates heterogeneous data, including big data at rest (Hadoop-based) or big data in motion (stream-based), on both distributed and mainframe platforms. It supports IBM Db2® Z and Db2 for z/OS®, applies workload and business rules, and integrates real-time data in an easy to deploy, scalable platform.

Lobster is a data integration platform for complex, multi-party supply chains. It connects suppliers, partners and systems across EDI, APIs, legacy databases and cloud apps in one place, with 90+ pre-built connectors, 2000+ customers and 20 years of supply chain expertise behind it. Lobster gives teams control over how data flows across their supply chain, so they can build, customise and maintain integrations themselves. Teams can also see, enrich and act on data as it moves across systems and partners, using workflows, exception handling and human input where needed.
