Source-driven versus Business-driven
Most Data Vault tools available today are what we call ‘Source-driven’. This means that they use the source data models as input and automatically generate the process and the Data Vault model. It is highly unlikely however, that such a Data Vault model (‘the sum of all source models’) has any real business value.
Other tools > Source-driven approach > Low business benefits
DATPROF Integrate Data Vault Edition is what we call ‘Business-driven’. We strongly believe that the creation of a well designed Data Vault model asks for the creativeness, skills and experience of an expert and that useful logical mappings are the result of a functional specification process. That is why DATPROF Integrate Data Vault Edition uses the Data Vault model and logical mappings, along with the source data models as input for the automated generation of the Data Vault process. This is the only way to generate a Data Vault with real business value.
DATPROF > Business-driven approach > High business benefits
A good understanding of these fundamental differences in approaches will help you to decide which tool best fits your needs. It also helps you to understand how DATPROF Integrate Data Vault Edition works.
