BusinessObjects Data Federator

Access, Integrate, and Deliver Data On-Demand.

BusinessObjects Data Federator can bring in new sources and manage changing data integration requirements in days. It begins by making your disparate data sources look like a single data source to your users. Then you can automatically generate a single Business Objects universe that maps to multiple sources. You can provide this single view of disparate sources from a code-free, rule-based mapping language that allows you to intuitively define business rules and create source-to-view mapping.

Key strengths of the Data Federator tool include:

Most advanced query optimizer available in the market today
Integrates with BusinessObjects Metadata Manager for data lineage and analysis
Supports data sources, including Oracle, SAS, Teradata, Web Services, XML, and more

Why Data Federator:
Data Federator is the data foundation of choice for integrating multiple data sources on-demand, supercharging any BI or data warehousing deployment, and leveraging current infrastructure and available sources.

"With Data Federator, we're aiming to improve how we execute our business day-to-day and hour-to-hour, in a quest for high-quality service to our customer."

Access Disparate Data

Accessing multiple data sources for your reports is more of the rule today than the exception. Today's mature and sophisticated business intelligence (BI) deployments more than ever can benefit from the capabilities data federation offers. Complementing the Business Objects universe with Data Federator allows easy, reliable, and ad hoc access to disparate data—regardless of data structure and location.

Compute Data On-Demand

Compute information on-demand when physically moving the data isn't an option. If you have a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, you can use data federation to combine on-premise data with hosted data to quickly bring data together and leverage the BI tools you are familiar with.

Accelerate Query Performance

Provide fast, trusted access and synchronized data from structured and unstructured sources. Query times can be reduced by several orders of magnitude while providing data quality and higher report authoring productivity.

Data Lineage & Impact Analysis

Data Federator tracks data lineage and impact analysis for your current project and integrates with BusinessObjects Metadata Manager for end to end data lineage and analysis
