Exploratory Warehouse™ accelerates and optimizes business value for data warehouse and enterprise information integration initiatives

Data warehouse and enterprise information integration (EII) initiatives are strategic to an organization's ability to meet defined corporate and business objectives; however these initiatives are marred with several key challenges. It is highly publicized that a large percentage of these projects are perceived to fail because they are over budget, delivered late, or do not adequately support the end user's rapidly-changing requirements once complete.

Sypherlink’s Exploratory Warehouse provides organizations the ability to virtually access data from multiple sources and rapidly prototype the target initiative. This enables the ability to more quickly benefit from the initiative, optimize the business value delivered to the organization, and avoid the common pitfalls associated with the implementation process.

Key Features:

Rapid, Virtual Prototyping
Exploratory Warehouse enables organizations to virtually prototype what the target data repository will look like by enabling multiple, physical data sources to be represented as a single, virtually centralized database for non-production, prototyping purposes. This allows potential modifications to be identified, modeled, reviewed and approved much faster, and with less expense than traditional methods. In addition, business sponsors can be engaged throughout the entire design, development, and testing phases of the implementation, ensuring business requirements are adequately supported and business value optimized.

Data Federation Configuration
Exploratory Warehouse automates the set-up and configuration of many popular data federation technologies, which allow users to access data from multiple data sources without the need to physically centralize the data.

Interim Data Repository
As the target data repository is being implemented – whether physical or federated – Exploratory Warehouse serves as an interim data repository, delivering value much earlier in the process.

Ad-hoc Reporting
Exploratory Warehouse offers easy creation of reports to allow business users to see the results of the target repository before, during and after implementation.
