Data Collection & Assembly
With the flexibility to handle data from virtually any source system and the capability to automate the entire reporting and analytics delivery process, The Diver Solution (Diver) ensures that data collection and application development efforts are streamlined and cost-effective.
Diver’s integrated Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) tool provides quick and easy access to a multitude of data sources: transactional databases, flat files, ODBC-compliant databases, Microsoft Excel® spreadsheets and a wide range of proprietary data formats such as ERP, EHR and operational systems.
BI requires a systematic approach to extracting, consolidating and converting data into a streamlined format suitable for delivery to users. Diver’s collection of components and services helps automate the data extraction and transformation process.
The robust extract, transform, load tool within The Diver Solution (Diver) extracts the data from any source system, aggregates and merges that data, and applies business rules to create a highly indexed data structure optimized for reporting, analytics and visualization.
The core of Diver is its multidimensional data Model. Using Dimensional Insight’s patented cross-indexing technology, Diver transforms the input data stream into a multidimensional data Model that is optimized for query, analysis, and reporting purposes. A single Diver application can contain multiple data Models.
Diver’s unique methodology does not require the additional expense of creating a data warehouse, or the licensing overhead associated with an underlying database. Because Diver’s Models integrate data from any number of disparate sources, users are able to compare, for example, data collected from transactional systems with information in the data warehouse and legacy data sources or spreadsheets and flat files.
Dimensional Insight’s unique data Model and strategic use of in-memory technology explains why Diver users experience consistently fast response times, regardless of underlying data volumes.
