Powerful analytical reporting

• Easy REAL-TIME movement and synchronization of data between Ecometry and other applications, such as Warehouse Management
• Real-time data updates to and from Ecometry and the Web
• Incremental updates to external applications, such as campaign management solutions

Elimination of data integrity issues

Here's what makes Ecomedate so different...

Ecomedate "decodes" all Ecometry data.

Other solutions decode some Ecometry data, but not all. Ecomedate, on the other hand, decodes over 90 tables (including such tables such as processing and financial order).  All columns are broken out to contain only one fact in each field.  All columns are standardized, cleaned and converted to report friendly data types, making it easy for you to use any open tool to analyze your data. Typically, operational reporting requires all of the information housed in Ecometry. You cannot fully predict what your downstream data feeds and application integration solutions may require. With Ecomedate, you don't need to decide beforehand. You have it all.

"As a one-man department, I needed a solution like Ecomedate to get that level of daily, actionable information without sapping all my resources.” Daniel Lively, Enstrom Candies IT Manager.

Ecomedate provides real-time updates.

Ecomedate frees your Ecometry data by migrating it to a foundation of relational tables, transforming it into user accessible data to help run your business. Live data allows real-time analysis. It permits using the foundation as a hub to move data to and from other applications and systems incrementally and in real-time. It means optimal operational reporting and business intelligence with open systems tools accessing a normalized structure. It lets you capture history of change for analysis, such as backorder queries. It puts you in control.

Ecomedate offers an open design.

Ecomedate's data foundation belongs to you. Modify it to suit your unique requirements, add or delete tables; or completely re-design it as necessary. What's more, Ecomedate gives you the tools to automate these changes.

Ecomedate works with many databases.

Ecomedate lets you choose where you want to house your data warehouse, whether it's SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Windows/NT, Unix or Linux. Ecomedate interfaces with each, while letting you move data easily from many sources. Plus, Ecomedate's middleware captures changes not only in Ecometry, but databases on many other platforms as well.

“We immediately liked the Taurus product because it gave us control over the development process,” says Mike Halverson, Duluth ’s IT Manager.  “Plus, it gave us the ability to customize.”
