The Skytide Process
The Skytide Analytical Platform™ presents a new way of processing data that makes possible this merging of disparate data sources, even when volumes of data reach terabytes and billions of records daily. Because Skytide analyzes data directly, without the need to store data in a database, it drastically increases the ability to perform meaningful analytics and reporting on the data that traditional Business Intelligence (BI) solutions can not deal with. The Skytide breakthrough technology enables business intelligence in previously prohibitive areas for BI, due to that technology’s dependency on database centric technologies and storage.
- Skytide connects to each data source where it resides, and data is pulled into the Skytide engine for processing.
- Standard or user defined parsers are applied to data, transposing it “on-the-fly” into an XML structure. A Skytide library of standard parsers covers tens of formats, which can be quickly extended for new or proprietary formats in a matter of hours. With parsers in place, this is an automatic, near-real-time process.
- Data flows into pre-defined multi-dimensional models, or “cubes,” reducing data volume without loss of fidelity.
- Models are instantly available for analysis and reporting.
- Queries are built using Skytide’s unique modeling point-and-click Designer environment, which can be performed by non-technical business users without IT involvement.
- Reports are automatically generated through a wide range of presentation layers: Corda interactive dashboards, CrystalReports, JasperSoft, Excel, etc.
- Incremental updates are automatically performed, providing users near real-time reports.
- Ad hoc queries and reports can be quickly created to allow further drill-down or slicing through the data aggregated in analytical models.
