With Datawatch Modeler, you can bring all the data that you need to manage your business to life, whether that information is stored in structured sources like databases, or in less conventional places like unstructured or semistructured EDI streams, PDF files, reports or text files. With the power of Modeler’s engine, information can be evaluated, organized and integrated to provide a 360 degree view of any type of business issue or opportunity.
Big Data Solutions Information Optimization
The key is variety
Reports, which are often overlooked as a source of trusted analytic data within the organization, offer the simplest, most cost-effective solution to quickly obtain trusted, audited data from a wide variety of systems (on disparate platforms) within the organization. The data quality level of an organization’s operational reports is the highest of any of its information. Additionally, reports often contain the results of complex “point in time” business logic, essential data that is not available in any other form within the system that produced it.
A common theme in Big Data systems is that the source data is diverse, and rarely presents itself in a form perfectly ordered and ready for analysis. Compounding matters is the fact that the data sources being used to run your business are rarely accessible or in the format you need to perform analytics:
By leveraging your report assets, Modeler puts the power of information optimization into the hands of the users who are familiar with the meaning, context and content of the information. This allows your business users to visually extract data from reports, and speeds analysis and the acquisition of new data because it removes the requirement to understand the structure of the underlying data system. This ability to analyze semi-structured data content, combined with structured BI content, represents the next frontier for analytics and data discovery in the enterprise today. Additionally, Modeler has the versatility and power to deliver value to the individual user and extend that knowledge to the entire enterprise by deploying it with the Datawatch Information Optimization Platform™.
Data comes from outside the four walls of your company (Invoices, POs, PDFs, etc.) Data sources behind your trusted operational systems are not readily accessible or require IT intervention to make the data usable Data is only available in reports, due to complex, one-time calculations Data types, like EDI streams and machine data can be too complex to decompose and reconstitute for analytics BI systems were built in isolation, and performing cross-system reporting/analytics requires a large integration project
