Developing an e-platform to help companies getting business opportunities

The Girvan Institute of Technology is a California non-profit, public-benefit corporation, tax-exempt under federal and state regulations. Its primary mission is to accelerate the convergence of commercial markets and government-developed technologies and to facilitate the application of innovative commercial technology. Girvan also works by fostering a collaborative, diverse, and broad network for basic research and technology development and by raising the financial resources to support it in its endeavors. In addition, Girvan works to support the development of the NASA Research Park (NRP), Moffett Federal Airfield, in California. Girvan is currently looking for business partnerships with technology focused Media such Red Herring and other potential organizations to support their mission. To concretize this initiative Girvan needs a middleware tool able to access its potential partner’s databases. This tool has to be able to federate databases independently to their technology, their structure or their content. Two options are evaluated to fulfill these requirements: Finally, the selected option will be integrated in a web application prototype called GRDAS (Girvan Relationship Database Access System) in order to promote the partnership initiative.
