Oracle Siebel Metadata Discovery

Understanding Siebel data as easily as all other corporate data sources is a major metadata intelligence challenge.

Without this understanding, companies increase the risk of a critical operational system becoming isolated and difficult to integrate with wider corporate data and systems.

The challenge comes about because of the sophisticated nature of the Siebel data architecture and the high degree of specialist knowledge required to implement & maintain it.

The solution to the problem lies in ready access to comprehensive metadata in a form that is usable by all of the technical & analyst teams across the company.

Saphir is a unique metadata intelligence tool that helps solve this problem by allowing you to locate and understand the sophisticated data structures within your Siebel databases, including any database customisations and extensions that you have made.

Saphir presents data warehouse designers, business analysts and information management teams with full details on the relationships between Siebel tables, making it easy to understand exactly how to join tables for queries and data extraction

Overall, Saphir enables key staff outside of the Siebel team to understand and work with Siebel data architectures with ease and without recourse to Siebel experts.

Dedicated tool for Siebel metadata analysis

Saphir is the only tool capable of producing Siebel data models from Siebel systems as implemented.

Saphir provides a new window into the Siebel metadata letting you browse and search through Siebel tables and fields using a powerful and intuitive interface.
