| Data
Integration is a main benefit of a data warehouse.
Without an ETL tool (Extraction, Transformation,
Loading) and a data warehouse, integrating data from different
sources is usually time consuming and costly. The user must go
through an error-prone process of manually exporting pieces of
data to a spreadsheet or an Access file, for example, and then
proceed to format the report. One of the key benefits of data
warehousing is the ability to automate the data collection
process and integrate diverse pieces of information into a
single database, making reporting from heterogeneous data
sources a straight-forward task. One can certainly say that
the quickest data warehousing ROI is achieved when data
integration needs exist. |

Forecasting is
a critical, and often difficult, task for most companies. Whether
for sales, inventory planning, purchasing, labor, etc., intelligent
business planning requires accurate forecasting.
Some companies create forecasting
data with spreadsheets, others analyze historic data to project
future results, and so forth. But what is common among them is the
large amount of time and resources spent to manually compile and
compare the "forecast" and "actual" data. Until now, there
was no good technological solution in the mid-market to address
such issues.
|
With its data warehouse
technology, DataHabitat now provides a real solution for business
forecasting. For instance, you can create an Excel
spreadsheet with sales forecasting information, and integrate
it with historical and current sales data from your accounting
system using DataHabitat. This lets you create and
update sales forecasting data anyway you want, using
DataHabitat to keep track of the results!
Please view a quick demonstration of this feature.
You will be able to understand why integrating and analyzing
data from different sources is just one of the features where
DataHabitat truly excels!

A data warehouse is a copy of operational
data which has been optimized for faster and easier access
and is able to import and integrate data from different source systems.
There are two major differences between data warehouse
generated reports and transactional database reports: data
warehouse generated reports are easier to create and faster to run.
Simple as that! So many commonly required reports, which are
very difficult and expensive to create directly from transactional
databases, are easily solved with DataHabitat!

DataHabitat
stands alone in the mid-market because it is a data
warehouse-based query and reporting tool sold for under
$3,000, a small fraction of the cost of any similar package.

From
today on, you'll be receiving our periodic Feature Review. Our
objective is to give you short pieces of knowledge that will
allow you to become acquainted with DataHabitat.
The DataHabitat product line is comprised of two main components:
the engine and the data models (encyclopedias). The data models
are source specific, whereas the engine is unique. Data Models
are currently available for 13 popular mid-market financial
systems including Microsoft Great Plains, ACCPAC and Best Software.
Any ODBC data source, relational or not, can be loaded
into the data mart. By default the data mart is deployed in
a Microsoft Visual FoxPro database (which comes embedded in
the product), but can also be deployed in any ODBC-compatible
data platform including Oracle, DB2 and SQL Server. It is a
simple matter of changing a table property to deploy the data
in a different data store. |
