In de complexe wereld van data integratie en -analyse is het vinden van de juiste tools cruciaal om het potentieel van je data volledig te benutten. Een van die tools die de belofte van eenvoud in een complex landschap inlost, is TimeXtender. In deze blog duiken we dieper in hoe TimeXtender het proces van datawarehousing vereenvoudigt.<\/p><h2>Wat is TimeXtender?<\/h2><p>TimeXtender is een tool voor data-integratie dat organisaties helpt om snel en eenvoudig een modern datawarehouse en datalake te bouwen, zonder te programmeren. De kerngedachte achter TimeXtender is \u201cautomatisering\u201d; het maakt gebruik van automatisering om datawarehousing-processen te versnellen en te vereenvoudigen.<\/p><h2>Wat zijn de voordelen van TimeXtender?<\/h2><p>Naast het feit dat je met TimeXtender sneller kunt ontwikkelen, heeft TimeXtender ook een groot voordeel op het gebied van traceerbaarheid van de data. Vaak is het namelijk zo dat de data eerst getransformeerd en gestructureerd moet worden voordat de data aangeboden wordt aan de eindgebruiker om te analyseren. Hierbij wordt het een-en-ander aangepast aan de data op basis van drag-en-drop functionaliteiten. Wil je achteraf hier wijzigingen op doorvoeren, of terug willen zien welke transformaties er zijn toegepast, dan helpt TimeXtender je hierbij door het tonen van een flowchart of het automatisch aanpassen van gerelateerde onderdelen.<\/p><p>De belangrijkste voordelen van TimeXtender voor Datawarehousing:<\/p><ul><li><strong>250+ Connectoren<\/strong>: TimeXtender heeft 250+ Connectoren beschikbaar waarmee bijna elke bron ontsloten kan worden.<\/li><li><strong>Snelheid<\/strong>: Met TimeXtender kunnen bedrijven hun data sneller dan ooit integreren. In plaats van maandenlange projecten, kun je binnen enkele weken of zelfs dagen een volledig functionerend datawarehouse opzetten.<\/li><li><strong>Flexibiliteit<\/strong>: TimeXtender is agnostisch wat betreft databronnen en doelen. Of je nu data uit ERP-systemen, CRM-tools of sociale media haalt, TimeXtender kan het integreren.<\/li><li><strong>Minimale codering<\/strong>: Het grootste voordeel voor veel bedrijven is dat er nauwelijks handmatige codering nodig is. Dit vermindert de afhankelijkheid van IT-specialisten, versnelt het proces en stelt gebruikers in staat om meer controle te hebben over hun data. Dit wordt bereikt met een laagdrempelige drag and drop functionaliteit.<\/li><li><strong>Kostenbesparing<\/strong>: Geautomatiseerde processen betekenen minder handmatig werk en dus lagere arbeidskosten. Bovendien kunnen fouten die dure correcties vereisen, worden geminimaliseerd.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"uncode_text_column\"><h2>Hoe werkt TimeXtender?<\/h2><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Zoals hieronder in de afbeelding weergegeven, wordt er eerst een connectie gemaakt met \u00e9\u00e9n of meerdere bronnen. Vervolgens wordt de data opgeslagen (Ingest) in een centrale omgeving. Hierna wordt de data geprepareerd (Prepare) om vervolgens de gestructureerde data beschikbaar te stellen aan de eindgebruikers (Deliver). Uiteindelijk kan de data gevisualiseerd worden in een tool zoals Qlik, PowerBI of Tableau. In principe volgt TimeXtender met deze stappen het ETL-principe.<\/span><\/p><\/div>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-timextender"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1085","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1085"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1085\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9849,"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1085\/revisions\/9849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1085"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1085"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cmotions.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1085"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
