Enterprise Information Management

Data management practices and technology form the core of all business initiatives. Without complete and accurate customer, product, and sales information, your business initiative is unsustainable. With Business Objects enterprise information management (EIM) tools - data integration, data quality, and metadata management - you can transform questionable data into trusted sources to establish a foundation of data integrity for your business decisions. By profiling, cleansing, and continuously monitoring your data, you can ensure that your business data is correct, consistent, and complete.

Benefits within an Integrated BI Platform

Data integration allows you to quickly integrate data from multiple enterprise systems to support the development of a data warehouse or departmental data mart
Pre-built data marts allow you to accelerate your BI deployment and gain rapid access to data from enterprise applications such as SAP, Oracle, Siebel, and PeopleSoft
Data federation augments data warehousing by offering real-time integration to multiple source systems, quickly and with minimal impact to operational applications themselves
Metadata management allows you to quickly track the source of any data element from your report, back to the source, including any calculations or transformations made at any step along the way
Data profiling and data quality ensure that you have optimal visibility to assess the quality of your data, correct and consolidate your information, and monitor your data quality improvements over time
