DecisionCentric® Data Integration
Enterprise Information Integration (EII) / Data Federation
Decision Technology bases its DecisionCentric business intelligence software on the concept of Data Federation. Data Federation is a form of Enterprise Information Integration (EII) that is optimized for Small and Midsize Enterprises. This model provides business and IT users with consolidated access to disparate databases, with or without ETL or a data warehouse environment.
Decision Technology optimizes its implementation of Enterprise Information Integration (or EII) for small and midsize enterprise organizations. This implementation leverages existing “metadata” that other BI solutions often ignore, enabling our customers to avoid the substantial expense and time expenditures normally associated with deploying “Big BI” metadata solutions.
Those organizations with no data warehouse can use DecisionCentric’s Enterprise Information Integration (EII) implementation to postpone or avoid the expense of creating and maintaining a data warehouse. For organizations that already have a data warehouse, DecisionCentric’s Enterprise Information Integration implementation extends the power and reach of an existing data warehouse environment. How? It enables the organization to supplement the content and detail of the data warehouse on an ad-hoc basis, with records from the original production databases. This allows your users to get more detailed business intelligence without impacting your existing, ETL process.
