| Enterprises are awash in database information.
The challenge is to get the information
senior management need in the right format,
with the right meaning, to the right place,
for the right people, at the right time.
While it sounds easy, this is a formidable
challenge that people face every day. |
  |
| Databases store information in many formats.
Integrating data first means transforming
existing data, often combining data from
different tables and databases into a unified
view. Creating the actual business and technical
processes that interface from specific applications
and databases into a centralized view can
seem like an overwhelming challenge. We
have helped numerous organizations solve
this problem by tackling a specific data
source and providing timely solutions that
makes the data useful to the business users
who need it. |
| |
| We have helped customers overcome these
common data problems: |
- Critical business analytics missing
key data.
- Customers demanding better access
to their information.
- M&A activity requires new interfaces.
- Excel spreadsheets contain isolated
data.
- Data warehouses need critical information
on time.
- Information explosion makes capacity
planning impossible.
- Legacy data in their own silos.
- New regulations require new reports.
- Auditing requirements not being met.
- Historical access to retired data.

System administrators, application
specialists, and database analysts deal
with performance problems every day. Introducing
MB Foster's solutions guarantees the smallest
possible overhead in integrating and replicating
your data. Many of our solutions require
less than 3% overhead on the source machine.
Offloading heavy analytic processing of
data to a separate data marts often makes
production database loads more predictable.
If the reporting servers should be slowed
down for any reason, production servers
delivering information to customers will
not be impacted. |

  |
| Modern regulations mean that you have

plan, we understand the need for auditing
and governance. Our solutions include the

of the business. When deploying new ERP

processes, the biggest challenge is obtaining

data work for you. Whether you are retaining

it. And work with you to implement a cost
