Business Information Modeler
The Business Information Modeler is a revolutionary approach for the development and deployment of Kalido business models. It incorporates a number of innovative features that improve productivity, dramatically reduces the time it takes to make changes and enables a more effective communication with your business users. The Business Information Modeler is a rich interactive environment for producing models that drive Kalido warehouses and downstream BI tools via the Kalido Universal Information Director.
The Business Information Modeler incorporates an innovative patent-pending gesture-based interaction so that you can create all the major Kalido DIW constructs by clicking the mouse and dragging it in a particular direction. After a small amount of practice you can become rapidly proficient at creating business models, and in a short while you can create models faster than other more conventional approaches.
The Kalido Business Information Modeler brings your warehouse to the forefront as it makes it tangible through an easy to use graphical interface. You can extract existing models from Kalido warehouses or create them from scratch. The user-interface has been designed to produce robust models that are directly deployable into your data warehouse. Models can be developed independent of the data and shared freely with other users in your organization.
The Kalido Business Information Modeler provides you with real-time feedback on errors and inconsistencies in your models which guide you in making corrections so that models can be successfully deployed. Once you are satisfied with your model, the Modeler includes a wizard that will guide your through the process of deploying it into your data warehouse.
Instead of modeling data and their structures, the Kalido Business Information Modeler allows you to model the actual parts of your business; customers, products, assets, transactions, even people – and define how you want to see information in context.
