Metadata Management & Connectivity

Leverage all data, regardless of source

The "connected world" is piping in data from all areas: billing, customer care, operational support, suppliers, partners, to name just a few. Organisations struggle as they are pushed to handle those exploding volumes of data in near real-time. Seemingly simple tasks to add new data sources, implement new data quality rules or access information become complicated projects.

With SAS Data Integration, you can connect to, acquire, store and write data back to a variety of data stores, streams, applications and systems on a variety of platforms and in many different environments. Whether it's ERP systems, RDBMS', flat files, legacy systems, message queues or XML, you'll have fast access to all relevant data that you need.

In addition, a complete and shared metadata environment provides consistent definition across data sources to speed integration projects, simplify design, reduce maintenance and save money.
