Automation tool for Business Intelligence reports restructuring and consolidation.
Consolidation is a process that combines multiple reports and dashboards while removing redundancies. From years of experience with hundreds of customers’ projects, we have developed analysis and statistical techniques to identify similarities and groups of items based on their characteristics. We use algorithms to identify patterns, record linkage, sorting, and locality-sensitive mapping to consolidate multiple business intelligence reports. The goal of consolidation is typically to provide a clearer picture of the operational status of Business Intelligence reports / analytical platforms.
In the consolidation process handling large volumes of Reports and Dashboards is a challenge if the sources are disparate or have different formats. It can become overwhelming, especially if the sources are disparate or have different formats. The sheer volume can make it difficult to accurately and efficiently consolidate and potentially lead to errors or inconsistencies in the final output.
Restructuring can begin by identifying and removing redundancies. Rationalization is identifying and eliminating redundancies to help the restructuring process and streamline reports and dashboards across departments or divisions to minimize the potential for duplicated efforts.
The rationalization process collects and compares the following: name and definition of each metric identified on each report, name and definition of each dimension identified on each report, data types and length of each metric/dimension on the report, source database, table and column name for each metric and dimension, components used in the report design (tables/charts), report run frequency.
DataTerrain developed an automation tool that addresses this challenge. The automation tool is tested and proven to rationalize and consolidate the inventory of reports and dashboards. Business intelligence initiatives to improve management and data analysis can benefit from this automation tool to save time or cost.
DATA MASKING to SECURE SENSITIVE DATA in Applications!
Our experience in Data Management and Enterprise applications has made it possible to develop a marvelous data masking tool!
Introduction
Data Terrains data masking tool masks sensitive data in Non-Production environments by an automated process. It reduces the risk of a data breach, which is more vulnerable in Non-Production environments where data is more vulnerable. This masking activity is irreversible. Using this Data Terrains masking tool, customers can be compliant with various privacy laws.
Sensitive Data Discovery
Data Terrains masking tool scans the data dictionary to find all sensitive data. It produces a configuration file before proceeding with the next step of data masking. Users can also customize the config file by adding or removing the column names in the config file. All the sensitive columns in the config file will be encrypted/masked using industry-leading standards. Our masking tool masks sensitive data while retaining referential integrity and data uniqueness, is flexible to take instructions from users on customization and suggests standards.

DataTerrain launched a new Oracle analytics RPD Merge tool.
DataTerrain’s RPD Merge tool is a time-saving, easy-to-use tool to merge multiple RPD files in a single run to produce a final merged output RPD without missing any of the input files. Accurately merge the RPD file, ensuring the result synchronizes with the original input RPD files.
DataTerrain’s RPD Merge tool has features like RPD Diff finder, Patch, and Export to enhance the way you manage multiple RPDs. While you can discover the differences between two RPD files using our RPD Diff feature with helpful color highlighting, the Patch feature helps you patch exactly and only what is relevant and required. You do this efficiently by selecting the objects from the source you want to patch and moving them to the target RPD. The Patch tab displays the RPD’s tree structure. It provides a clear view of moving from source to target RPD Merge’s convenient Schedule option. It lets you run your merge automatically at a time of day that minimizes workplace disruption with a scheduler option. DataTerrain’s RPD merge tool can save the differences as a text, PDF, or image file to be viewed graphically or shared with an option to export the differences as an XML file.
