With a growing number of web service-based applications, a burgeoning ecosystem of content syndicators, and more proprietary feed schemas than ever, workflow challenges have presented a growing problem. From a technical standpoint, the data must be normalized to ensure interoperability. While this has become a critically important feature in a world that is moving to web services, it’s still primarily a manual process that often taxes organizations with aggressive deadlines or constrained resources.
To address this issue, Twistage provides integrated feed translation. A bidirectional tool, it allows Twistage to consume inbound 3rd-party feeds for content ingestion, while automatically rendering outbound Twistage feeds in schemas that are compliant with 3rd-party specifications. These translations can be saved as templates, which can then be chained together, allowing unmatched flexibility. In effect, this feature allows organizations to use Twistage as a powerful middleware engine, enabling disparate and disconnected web service-based applications to “speak” to each other.
