Data Layers pre-build data models allows you get up and running in a couple of hours
- Improved Reporting and Visualizations
With Data Layers user-friendly and best practice data models, any user can generate reports and visualizations without the need for building and maintaining a separate Business Intelligence platform. It simplifies the process, making data interpretation and presentation more accessible. - Data Integration
Data Layer enables the integration of data from multiple different sources into one well-defined and quality assured source. This capability allows for easier data management and improved overall data quality. - Designed to be expanded
The models that Data Layer provides are designed to be used as building blocks in larger Business Intelligence platform. By providing granular access to original identifiers Data Layer makes it easy to expand data models with data from other types of systems. - Unified Data Access
Data Layer allows you to access the data generated in Exopen in the same format as all other data. This uniformity helps maintain consistency and simplifies data comprehension.
How Data Layer Works
The data flow in Data Layer involves several steps. Initially, data from your source systems is ingested, after which it is transformed and enriched to create a generalized internal data model. This data is subsequently channeled into various products, such as Planning, Report, Consolidation, and Data Layer. Any data generated by these systems is fed back into the generalized model.
Following this, the data is packaged into different data models, each designed and optimized for various purposes, and made available to the user.
Data Layer provides multiple options to access your data:
- Download Files: You can download files directly from the system.
- Data Lakes: Data can be accessed within the system's Data Lakes.
- Databases: You can write data to databases on-prem or in the cloud, ensuring your information is stored securely and can be retrieved when needed.
The primary data model provided by Data Layer is Exopen's Financial Data Model, predominantly designed to support financial reporting and report automation.
With its streamlined approach to data management and interpretation, Data Layer serves as a versatile solution for businesses looking to maximize their data utilization and analysis capabilities.
