Business Intelligence (BI) and Data Analytics are related fields that involve working with data to support decision-making. Primarily encompasses various techniques and methodologies for analyzing data to discover patterns, trends, and insights and presenting data to provide business users with monitoring their performance against goals and objectives and lets users quickly access relevant information.
It includes descriptive analytics (summarizing historical data), diagnostic analytics (identifying the causes of past events), predictive analytics (forecasting future outcomes), and prescriptive analytics (offering recommendations for actions) to support data-driven decisions in business.
BI reports and dashboards are designed for
user-friendly visuals and require minimal technical expertise to create and interact with.
Prominent examples of these user-friendly BI platforms include OBIEE, Microsoft Power BI, Jaspersoft, Amazon QuickSight, and others.
Python, R, PL/SQL, and Java-based solutions are renowned for their speed & scalability, making them suitable for handling large-scale data analytics tasks.
Historically, as organizations grew, many products were used to perform Data Analytics and Business Intelligence reporting over years or decades.
Legacy products refer to products that have been in the market for an extended period and have often been replaced or succeeded by newer versions or alternatives. Some customers may still use these products, but they are no longer actively developed, updated, or supported by the manufacturer or vendor.
eliminates business risks
Legacy products are often built on older technology or platforms that may no longer be considered state-of-the-art.
Software companies have stopped releasing regular updates, patches, or new features for these products.
The lack of regular updates and patches for a product or system can lead to a potential security risk and vulnerability.
When a product reaches its 'end of life,' support and maintenance services from the company are discontinued.
Product companies recommend transitioning to newer products with improved features, security, and support.
Legacy products may have issues with compatibility with newer software, hardware, or operating systems.
Since the legacy system may contain time-tested valuable business logic and embedded processes, keeping it in the business interests is vital. Still, we need to move it to newer systems to avoid the legacy system risks such as security vulnerability.
The challenge is understanding and porting the old system to newer business Intelligence tools.
Our customers have switched to many new business Intelligence reporting tools. Our team has worked alongside the customer teams to identify valuable reports and dashboards for customers to retain and performed automated migration to new Business Intelligence tools.

The metadata layer in Business Intelligence tools bridges complex, raw data sources and user-friendly interfaces, making data more accessible, understandable, and governed within the Business Intelligence environment. It enhances BI systems' overall usability and value by simplifying data access and ensuring data quality and security.
The Oracle Business Intelligence metadata layer is called the RPD file (Repository Database), and the SAP metadata layer is called the Universe file. All Popular BI tools include metadata layers or semantic layers. It acts as an intermediary or abstraction layer between the raw data sources and the end-user interface, such as dashboards, reports, and queries.
Transporting the metadata layer from legacy platforms to newer systems poses various challenges. Our automation tools deliver rapid transitions from legacy environments to newer systems. We have delivered results for 700+ clients(36,000 objects) based on multi-tenant metadata files with unparalleled speed and accuracy.

The metadata layer abstracts the underlying complexity of the data sources, which may include multiple databases, tables, or even data warehouses. Users interact with the metadata layer instead of directly interacting with these sources.
Within the metadata layer, data is often modeled and transformed to provide a unified view of the data. This may involve creating data models, defining table relationships, and applying calculations or transformations.
The metadata layer adds a semantic layer on top of the raw data, allowing users to interact with data using business-friendly terms and concepts. It enables non-technical users to query data more intuitively and by drag and drop method.
The metadata layer is crucial in enforcing data governance policies. It helps ensure data quality, security, and compliance by providing a centralized point for managing metadata and access controls.
It meticulously tracks the data lineage, offering a comprehensive view of its origins, transformations, and utilization. This transparency is a valuable resource for data auditing and troubleshooting processes.
The metadata layer can optimize performance by generating efficient SQL queries based on user interactions. Caching and query optimization techniques can be applied to enhance responsiveness.
The metadata layer often incorporates security features, allowing administrators to control who has access to specific data elements, reports, or dashboards, helping to protect sensitive data.
The metadata layer seamlessly integrates data from diverse sources, encompassing databases, spreadsheets, cloud services, & APIs, creating a unified view through the metadata layer.
One of the primary benefits of the metadata layer is that it simplifies the user experience. Business users can access and work with data without understanding the technical details of storage and retrieval.
