More than ever, companies count on business intelligence (BI) solutions to
gain insight into operations, customers, and financial results. Business
Intelligence plays a critical role in shaping a company’s strategy and tactics –
but what if the data these applications use is inaccurate? Tidal’s job
scheduling and application performance management can improve the quality of the
data Business Intelligence software, and their users, rely on.
ETL: Process improvement required
The data warehouses that business intelligence software mine are almost
universally created using conventional extract transform, load (ETL) processes.
When Business Intelligence served smaller corporate or departmental purposes,
populating data warehouses was straightforward. With a handful of data sources,
it was easy to assemble and manually monitor the ETL process.
But today’s expanded role for Business Intelligence often demands data from
hundreds, if not thousands, of sources. Expanded Business Intelligence requires
complex scheduling and processing for data to be accessed in the proper order,
and processing to be completed within the operating window.
Tidal solutions enhance ETL
Tidal’s job scheduling and application performance management solutions can
simplify management of the overall ETL process and ensure its performance, along
with other enterprise applications that run your business.
Tidal
Enterprise Scheduler can dramatically simplify the entire ETL operation. It
goes beyond managing ETL complexity to providing integration, recovery, and
auditability – far more than is available with basic tools or scripting
solutions. To further streamline the ETL process, Tidal helps ensure that other
operational applications aren’t degraded, and that the ETL process completes on
schedule.
Tidal’s integrated approach to job scheduling and
application performance management create more opportunities for ETL
optimization, further reducing cost and complexities while improving performance
and reliability.
