ABSTRACT:
Methods for acquiring and transforming data for business analysis, and computer readable media having program instructions for enabling the same are provided. One exemplary method identifies a set of data sources to be accessed for a user, loads the raw data from each of the accessed set of data sources to raw data type specific locations then verifies the integrity of the acquired raw data. Next the acquired raw data of each of the raw data type specific locations is transformed to a uniform data type and then stored as processed data into processed data type specific locations. Some notable advantages of the discussed methods of acquiring and presenting data for business analysis purposes is the ability to efficiently extract, organize and present the data as requested by a customer over a world wide computer network. Examples of such efficiency include the ability to convert data acquired from disparate sources to a uniform format, thus allowing centralization of the data and eliminating the need to continually access various data sources to provide requested reports. The customer can thus be provided with dynamic reports in real-time, thereby allowing for time sensitive and mission critical business decisions to be made with current data.
