Composite Application Data Services™ provide a pre-defined data abstraction of SAP, Oracle, Siebel, and Salesforce.com data. They enable standard, SQL-based query or Web-services access from any front-end or reporting tool into your packaged applications. Data Services provide high-level summaries of the most common application objects. Semantics and data types are derived directly from the packaged applications, allowing users to easily find the data required to meet their business needs. Data Services also provide more detailed access to underlying application resources.
Capabilities
- Pre-built Content – Frequently used business information already packaged with context, accelerating projects and reducing risks.
- No Coding - Eliminates programming and API complexities, saving you time.
- Non-invasive Access - No agents to install, no modification to your source application instance. Exposes metadata such as reference key information and field descriptions, enabling access to all APIs, RFCs.
Advantages
- Faster Development – Composite Application Data Services jumpstart any project that requires packaged applications’ data.
- Lower Risk – Data Services reduce the need for expensive, specialized resources, lowering the time, cost, and risk of developing powerful and data rich applications.
- Combine Information, On-demand – Leveraging the Composite Information Server, Data Services work together with or independently of vendor provided data warehouses such as SAP BW to mix and match information from across the company. Data Services provide an incremental development approach, reducing or eliminating the need for data warehouse schema or ETL changes.
