Component-Based Platform for Building Data-Driven Applications
The SiMX TARGET Platform is a component-based software platform designed to enable professionals with limited technical background to build, deploy, and maintain sophisticated data processing applications—without relying on expensive or scarce IT resources.
TARGET provides a visual, modular environment where complex data workflows are assembled from reusable components rather than custom code. These components address common data challenges such as ingestion, transformation, validation, integration, reporting, and automation, allowing users to design complete end-to-end solutions through configuration and visual orchestration.
Built for real-world enterprise environments, the TARGET Platform supports evolving requirements, changing data formats, and growing workloads. Applications created on TARGET are easy to maintain and extend over time, reducing long-term operational cost while improving reliability and transparency.
TARGET serves as the foundation for SiMX products and solutions, including TextConverter, the Data Processing Suite, and the Application Development Suite. It bridges the gap between business users and IT by empowering domain experts to own and manage data automation while still providing the flexibility and control required by advanced users.
By replacing fragile scripts and manual processes with structured, component-based automation, the TARGET Platform enables organizations to scale data processing confidently and sustainably.
