October 18, 2011 – Savigent Software released Catalyst xM version 2.5. The updated version delivers significant enhancements to the software – most notably the incorporation of Open Data Protocol (OData) support and enhanced server functionality for distributed data center and private cloud deployments. Catalyst xM is a part of Savigent’s expanding Catalyst suite of software products. Specifically, Catalyst xM delivers a controlled system for workflow automation, providing manufacturers with guaranteed compliance, unparalleled traceability and rich manufacturing intelligence.
The enhancements present in Catalyst xM version 2.5 provide users with significantly increased functionality, flexibility and simplicity. The addition of Open Data Protocol support provides easy access to the Catalyst xM workflow execution history from a variety of off-the-shelf data mining and business intelligence tools. Based on standard web protocols, OData is an ideal choice to expose manufacturing intelligence from Catalyst xM to browser-based and mobile clients. The Catalyst xM Server Manager now provides a Data Source Builder which allows users to configure virtual tables that are created dynamically to provide data access via the Open Data Protocol.
