Fast, Easy Data Migration Helps You Meet Critical "Go Live" Dates
Moving data to SAP products can be a complex, labor-intensive process, one that requires more work, time, and resources than many organizations anticipate. The unexpected scope of such efforts often causes companies to miss their crucial "go live" deadlines and exceed implementation budgets. From a business standpoint, such delays can mean the difference between carving out a lucrative new market niche and entirely missing out on emerging opportunities.
Information Builders has the answer: Data Migrator for SAP R/3 and Data Migrator for SAP BW. These powerful conversion and interface solutions help you rapidly extract, transform, and load data from more than 85 data sources into R/3 or BW in a timely, cost-effective manner. Part of Information Builders' family of i-business enterprise reporting and integration solutions, Data Migrator enables SAP customers to meet their "go live" deadlines by increasing the productivity of conversions and interface efforts. Customers report saving up to 70 percent of time and labor costs. Additionally, Data Migrator frees up valuable programming resources for other areas of SAP implementation.
An Essential Data Warehousing Tool
While BW offers business content and predefined extract, transform, and load routines for many R/3 modules, many organizations require an easy way to integrate data from multiple, disparate non-SAP data sources. Data Migrator lets you quickly and economically build a comprehensive data warehouse under the BW umbrella.
Data Migrator for SAP BW is the only single-vendor, end-to-end solution for the population and ongoing maintenance of BW. It's a total solution that addresses all cost elements involved in BW implementation, including direct, integrated access to non-SAP systems. It can handle every vital phase of moving your data - from source extraction to data transformation to integration with InfoPackage, which loads the target BW InfoSource.
Powerful, Yet Simple to Use
- Change impact analysis - A valuable feature that enables you to easily determine the impact of changes to your SAP or external system configuration (including release updates) on existing conversions and interfaces.
- Universal data access - Direct dynamic access to more than 85 database and application sources across 35 platforms, including legacy and relational databases, and other ERP packages such as PeopleSoft; no need to build costly customized interfaces.
- Rapid conversions and interfaces - All phases of the job are clearly defined in a simple, specific, and consistent process that facilitates high-speed migrations.
- Ease of use - A point-and-click Windows interface allows users to handle migration jobs quickly and easily, thus accelerating the entire implementation effort.
- Complete control - A comprehensive set of auditing, monitoring, analysis, and self-documentation features lets your staff maintain complete control over every stage of the process and identify potential problems before they occur.
- Integration - Tight integration with BW provides full support for InfoSource metadata, management, and navigation. For R/3, all SAP data transfer mechanisms are supported.
- Reusability - R/3 and BW migration jobs created in Data Migrator can be reused for ongoing InfoSource maintenance. This allows you to easily keep your SAP solutions synchronized with your enterprise data, while saving you programming time and resources.
