New RODIN Editions: Coglin Mill is pleased to announce the release of several new RODIN Editions, designed specifically for smaller to medium sized organizations that have previously considered themselves too small to implement a full data warehouse or data mart architecture to support their business intelligence efforts.
RODIN Data Asset Management has long been the tool of choice on System i for larger organizations implementing Enterprise Data Warehouses. Now this same award winning technology is within your reach of virtually any organization.
Our research has shown that many small to medium System i shops are struggling with plain old query or have a query based reporting tool which is not living up to its promises. Trying to use these tools directly against operational data is the usual cause.
Data quality issues, incompatible data sources, complex business rules, poor performance and multiple versions of the truth are common barriers to effective reporting that can easily be solved by adding a data warehouse or architected data mart environment. RODIN is the only full function native ETLM (Extract, Transform, Load, Manage) tool available for System i.
For smaller companies whose needs are not as complex, or whose project scope is not as broad, the new Select Edition packaging drives the entry cost down to make it easily affordable on just about any budget. Various optional modules allow for future growth and complexity, should the need arise.
Of particular interest is the new  which interfaces directly with Web Query. RODIN tables, metadata text and data models are automatically added to the Web Query metadata, making them instantly available, and removes any need to duplicate effort. Predefined joins and descriptive text dramatically enhance the Web Query experience.
The introduction of DB2 Web Query is generating significant interest in BI on this platform - and while it will add a pretty new face to existing reports, it will not by itself fix the inherent problems in many reporting environments. RODIN is the missing link that resolves all of these issues.
