A Double Play: Data Warehousing and SAP R/3 Integration
For a billion-dollar food manufacturer, Daman is moving
on two fronts: helping them design and implement a complete data warehouse solution and providing critical assistance
in implementing SAP R/3.
The data warehouse project has posed a number of unique challenges. As with any data warehouse, the company needed
an integrated, cross-functional view of data, as well as a way to complement SAP reporting for high-level decision
making. However, the company also needed a data warehouse that would be populated with data from both legacy files
and SAP files — even while the SAP application was being implemented.
Daman has accelerated the data warehouse implementation based on careful, strategic planning. Productivity was
also boosted through Daman's use of the ETI-EXTRACT® Tool Suite. Provided by Evolutionary Technologies International,
ETI*EXTRACT Tool Suite is a premier data movement tool that helps streamline and accelerate the implementation
process.
With ETI*EXTRACT, Daman consultants were
able to cut development time by as much as 70%!
The SAP implementation has been equally critical. The company wanted to optimize operations by migrating core legacy
applications to an enterprise SAP financial, sales and distribution system. However, the time frame available for
implementation was extremely narrow.
Backed by careful planning and the use of automated tools like ETI*EXTRACT Tool Suite, Daman has been able to deliver
for the SAP implementation:
- Early and more complete source system analysis
- A high level of process control based on carefully managed analysis, design, construction, testing, and production
- Rapid development of interfaces, typically showing a 60% savings over manually coded efforts
- Development of a data movement infrastructure that has improved the company's ongoing ability both to rapidly implement new strategic decision-support applications and to migrate to more flexible platforms
