Automate your infrastructure to build, deploy, manage, and secure applications in modern cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
From recent consulting projects, I have learned that analyzing data in Microsoft Office enables unique and valuable business insights across an organization. In particular, these projects were based on ODBC connectivity to Excel/Access from applications such as SAS (SAS/Access interface to ODBC), Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC, SAP Data Services, IBM Cognos, Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE), and Tibco Spotfire. This sort of competitive advantage reminds me of another megatrend, "Big Data".
Big data enables organizations to analyze data sets that were previously unavailable due to computing limitations. With Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access, the data is typically unavailable to many business intelligence (BI) initiatives since it cannot be easily accessed by Unix/Linux applications. The commonality is that the analysis of both data sources have been overlooked for very different reasons; and I will share how you can gain additional competitive advantages by integrating Microsoft Office data using the DataDirect SequeLink ODBC drivers for Microsoft Access and Excel across AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and Linux.
