Quella Fact Sheet 2.0

Quella Creator is a tool designed to optimise data processing and to facilitate design, maintenance and delivery of business reports. In addition, Quella Creator complies with the three most important requirements of a data warehouse and reporting tool:

• Source Independence: The capacity to extract data from any available data source regardless its format. This means seamless communication with the many different relational databases and file formats used throughout an organisation.

 

• Abstraction: The capacity to effectively hide the implementation details of a Business Intelligence Solution by enforcing a clear separation between the business logic and rules of said solution and its physical implementation. This can only be achieved by delivering a meta data centric solution design.

 

• Platform Independence: The capacity to implement the design of a Business Intelligence Solution on different Database Management Systems (DBMS's). In this context, the DBMS acts as the Implementation Engine of the solution.

Quella Creator can connect and extract data from any data source using either OLE Database providers or ODBC-drivers. Through these connections, meta data and data can be transferred to a Data Warehouse File from where Quella Creator can offer full access to all relevant aspects of the imported data sources. AS400, MS SQLServer, MS Access, MS Excel and Text Files are some examples of data sources whose data can easily be extracted and combined using Quella Creator.
