Data Hub is available for other internal uses – Ad hoc reporting for other purposes is supported while enabling drill through to underlying transactional data (when in scope for the planning system).Flexibility to support future changes – Insulate the planning system from source system changes and reduced cost and timeline for additional enhancements or changes.Integration and cleansing done with standardized tools – Work done with relational database and SQL language not vendor-specific tools which means easier maintenance and expansions in the future.The datahub bridges that gap resulting in less complexity, which ultimately means less cost and less time. Alignment of correct tool to use case at hand – Source systems contain relational data, but planning systems are OLAP.Transparency into source of data – Eliminates data silos and hidden/spreadsheet ETL and provides a single system to trace data sources and data transformations.Foundations for other use cases – Future use cases like forecasting and demand planning will leverage the same datahub.Modern, integrated planning is made possible by intentional, proper data management. It can handle on-premises and cloud-based data sources seamlessly and can be located either on-premises or in cloud environment. Data Hub performs critical data management activities, including: The Data Hub acts as a staging area for data from multiple systems before it moves to the planning system.
