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.
 
One at a Time
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.
Make it Fast

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.

 
Auditing and Governance
