| The
extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data is an important
aspect of any large-scale business intelligence application.
Cognos DecisionStream is designed to create dimensional data marts,
and has at its core a multidimensional model. All data mart creation
and reporting activities are driven from a common dimensional framework,
meaning all users make decisions based on common definitions of
business entities like "accounts", "customers",
and "products".
DecisionStream's advanced data merging, transformation, and aggregation
features bring together data from any source for the purpose of
business performance management.
On top of this, DecisionStream speeds the ultimate delivery of
reports to users across the organization by delivering business
intelligence metadata for Cognos and 3rd-party business intelligence
tools.
