The Data Access Side - Architecture

• This term Information Factory is often used to describe information life cycle within an organization from origination to its active end-of-life and beyond.

• The Corporate Information Factory, as proposed by Bill Inmon, is an architecture that defines wide array of data stores and associated processes to run the Information Factory – but limited to decision support applications.

Can We Implement an EIF?• Yes. By exploiting ERP Infrastructure

– SAP– ORACLE– PeopleSoft

• Probably Not if you start from scratch. It is just too complex – EAI/ETL vendors future directions (DIPs)– Tibco -webMethods -Acta– Mercator -Viteria -Ascential– seeBeyond -BEA Systems -Informatica– IBM -IBI -DataMirror
