Data Services platforms such as Informatica and Denodo transform raw business data through ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) processes to an accessible format in a single location. Strategy is able to connect to many of these platforms to provide a powerful Business Intelligence layer that allows companies to further transform their integrated data into reports and visualizations.
Strategy has robust multisource connection options on its own. However, these Data Services platforms have additional ETL capabilities which allow disparate forms of data (including data from external APIs, mobile data, Social Media data, and local departmental data stores) to be transferred into a warehouses in an automated way. Strategy gateways to these platforms then allow businesses to take advantage of the integrated data platforms. Strategy's reporting capabilities leveraged in conjunction with these ETL tools allow for automated end-to-end transformation of disparate corporate data stores into insights.
Data Services platforms supported by Strategy include: Informatica , IBM Cognos, Denodo, Cirro, and Arcadia. Connections to these powerful platforms can be accomplished easily via ODBC/JDBC connectors provided by Strategy and/or platform vendors.
