SymmetricDS Pro replicates Oracle, SAP HANA, and 20+ other database platforms.

Building on our strength of flexibility, we’ve extended our architecture to include log-based data replication.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB)
November 21, 2019

JumpMind, a leading provider of data integration software, announces the availability of SymmetricDS Pro version 3.11, database replication software with cross-platform support for more than 20 databases. This release includes log-based data replication for Oracle, adds SAP HANA as a source or target, and improves the performance of subsetting large data sets.

Oracle users can now choose between log-based or trigger-based capture of data. Log-based data replication can be beneficial for reducing overhead by processing the logs asynchronously outside of the database in a continuous mode. With either option, the same powerful set of features are available, including vertical and horizontal subsetting, filtering, conflict management, and data transformation. “Building on our strength of flexibility, we’ve extended our architecture to include log-based data replication, which will benefit our users with batch-oriented, high throughput requirements,” said Eric Long, Vice President of Solutions.

SymmetricDS expands its support of cloud-based, analytical databases with the addition of the SAP HANA database. Data can be securely replicated across on-premise, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments to propagate changes into HANA or receive changes from it. Consolidate data in real-time from multiple sources into HANA and leverage its fast analytics, OLAP, and OLTP operations. SymmetricDS enables continuous data replication with features like guaranteed data delivery, filtered synchronization, and wide area network optimization.

Subsetting data to groups of databases now gains performance from common batches that are shared by multiple targets. Common batches were previously used when routing to all targets, but now any arbitrary group is supported, such as databases by region, district, or business unit. When changes are routed to databases across thousands of locations, the reduction in replication time can be dramatic. “We help customers scale out to thousands of databases. As the complexity of slicing and dicing data has increased, we’ve enhanced common batches to handle that load,” said Long.

About JumpMind

JumpMind is an open source software company specializing in data integration and database replication software for the enterprise. We help companies build integration solutions that combine data from disparate sources into meaningful and valuable information. Our mission is to build software that is effective, open, and easy to use. We provide consulting, training, and support for our software products.

“Based on feedback from caregivers themselves, Hospice Honors recognizes agencies that truly stand out.”

PLANO, Texas (PRWEB)
November 21, 2019

As National Hospice and Palliative Care Month is recognized during November, Heart to Heart Hospice celebrates being named among those providing the highest quality of hospice care.

Four Heart to Heart Hospice Texas locations have been named by HEALTHCAREfirst as 2019 Hospice Honors recipients: East Texas (Longview), San Antonio, and San Marcos.

The Tyler, Texas, location earned the special recognition of Hospice Honors Elite.

HEALTHCAREfirst is a leading provider of billing and coding services, CAHPS (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) surveys, and advanced analytics. Their Hospice Honors is a prestigious program that recognizes hospices providing the highest level of quality as measured from the caregivers’ point of view.

“Based on feedback from caregivers themselves, Hospice Honors recognizes agencies that truly stand out, based on the level of hospice care and ongoing commitment displayed to their patients and their caregivers,” said Misty Skinner, Executive Vice President of Services at HEALTHCAREfirst. “I congratulate Heart to Heart Hospice on this achievement.”

Award criteria were based on Hospice CAHPS survey results for a one-year evaluation period and recipients were determined by performance on a set of 24 quality indicator measures. Scores were aggregated from all completed surveys and were compared on a question-by-question basis to a National Performance Score calculated from all hospices contained in the HEALTHCAREfirst’s Hospice CAHPS database.

Hospice Honors are awarded to hospice companies that scored above this national average on 20 of the evaluated questions, while Hospice Honors Elite recognizes those that scored above the national average on all 24 (100 percent).

Heart to Heart Hospice Founder and Chief Executive Officer Kelly Mitchell credits the staff and volunteers in Longview, San Antonio, San Marcos and Tyler. “Our dedicated team members believe in our mission of providing compassionate care. They work hard to make a difference in people’s lives, and they deserve this recognition,” said Mr. Mitchell.

In today’s pharma industry, you must do more than just provide quality ingredients to make an impact; you have to accompany formulators through a product’s entire lifecycle.

WILMINGTON, Del. (PRWEB)
November 22, 2019

DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences has consistently advanced its customers forward by ensuring global access to indispensable ingredients and unmatched expertise. At CPhI India, Nov. 26-28, the company will showcase increased capacity on both fronts, in addition to several product innovations such as solubility-enhancing polymers and vegetarian capsule offerings.

DuPont experts will be available at stand 8.Q20 to discuss a wide range of developments, including updated R&D capabilities at the DuPont Knowledge Center (DKC) in Hyderabad, India. The site has been a hub of innovation in the Genome Valley district since it opened in 2008. With new investments, the DKC will become South Asia’s premier application development and innovation facility for oral dosage delivery solutions, direct compression and solubility enhancement, as well as probiotics and biosciences. Manufacturers in South Asia will have unprecedented access to capabilities such as spray drying, hot melt extrusion, compaction simulation and advanced analytical equipment, all of which can solve formulation challenges posed by poorly soluble drugs. DuPont’s ultimate goal in updating the DKC is to help its customers test, research, develop and improve products to make them better, safer and more accessible.

In addition, DuPont will unveil its increased capacity to produce METHOCEL™ Premium HPMC, which will now be manufactured in both Stade, Germany, and Midland, Michigan, U.S. The Stade-based facility will benefit customers in Europe and India, who can now expect shorter lead times for shipments, business continuity planning support, supply chain management and non-GMO labelling for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets.

Formulation and product experts will also be on hand to discuss DuPont’s industry-leading products and capabilities, which include:

• 
  Enhanced R&D capabilities to create solutions for any manufacturing need, including controlled, immediate and delayed release; solubility enhancement; and nutraceuticals.
• A global state-of-the-art manufacturing network that meets stringent regulatory and quality requirements to ensure all excipients meet ever-evolving standards.
• International regulatory expertise and local market insights that enable formulators to obtain faster registration approvals.
• Leadership in quality and regulatory support, which encompasses QbD support, highlighting regulatory education and full-spectrum guidance for drug product filing with DuPont excipients.
• An innovative ingredient portfolio that includes SeaGel®, a vegetarian capsule offering aimed at meeting demand for plant-based options; and Aquateric™ N100, a cutting-edge enteric coating made from Norwegian brown seaweed; along with HOWARU® premium probiotics, a comprehensive range of clinically documented strains supporting digestive health, immune health, and a range of other health benefits. A wide array of controlled and immediate release solutions will also be on display.

“In today’s pharma industry, you must do more than just provide quality ingredients to make an impact; you have to accompany formulators through a product’s entire lifecycle,” said Savindu Kudrigikar, Business Director, South Asia at DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences. “For us, that means investing in our ability to meet demand and to educate formulators around the world. It all comes down to granting our customers the resources they need to deliver on the promise of a healthier life.”

DuPont now also offers a 70-year presence in silicone-based technology through the legacy of Dow Corning brands and technical experts who have joined the company. Our solutions include pharmaceutical excipients for a safe and efficacious delivery of actives in transdermal and topical therapies, and we also improve the spreadability and sensory aesthetics of semi-solid forms, which can lead to greater comfort and compliance for patients.

As the market for high-quality topical solutions for medical conditions has grown, DuPont’s portfolio has responded with solutions that are designed to deliver the performance consumers expect and the regulatory compliance formulators need. DuPont also will feature our broad range of bio-pharma processing solutions to meet the stringent performance and regulatory requirements for silicone tubing and over-molded assemblies used in fluid transfer and the manufacturing of biologic drugs.
