BusinessObjects Data Federator Features

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
