DATA INTEGRATION
Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) tool provides quick and easy access to a multitude of data sources:
- transactional databases
- flat files
- ODBC-compliant databases

Being able to display information that instantly leads the user to a conclusion is very powerful.
DIVER TECHNOLOGY
The Diver Platform™ begins with Integrator, Dimensional Insight’s advanced ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) software, that integrates data from multiple sources and in multiple formats.
Prepared data is then processed by one of two multidimensional engines:
- The Spectre engine accesses large volumes of data in memory using a columnar database (cBase) structure. Each request is compiled and executed in memory for optimum performance.
- The Model engine uses Dimensional Insight’s patented cross-indexing technology to produce a database designed for quick access to summarised information, with the complete underlying detail always available.
A single Diver application can contain multiple Models and/or cBases. Using either engine, Diver is unique in its ability to allow users to dive in any direction they wish without the limitations of pre-set drill paths or hierarchical constraints found in conventional OLAP tools. Diving is a simple point-and-click operation: No SQL queries, scripting, or programming is required to explore and analyse data.
Diver’s unique methodology does not require the additional expense of creating a data warehouse or the licensing overhead associated with an underlying database. Because Diver’s Models integrate data from any number of disparate sources, users are able to compare, for example, data collected from transactional systems with information in the data warehouse and legacy data sources or spreadsheets and flat files. Dimensional Insight’s unique data Model and strategic use of in-memory technology explains why Diver users experience consistently fast response times, regardless of underlying data volumes.
