1) Overview
Easy Employer provides a Business Intelligence (BI) staging server as an optional upgrade for accounts. This SQL Server database allows customers to connect directly and extract data for integration into their own data warehouse or BI solutions, enabling customised reporting.
2) BI staging server and BI reporting solution
A BI Staging Server and a BI Reporting Solution like Power BI serve different purposes in the business intelligence process.
- A BI Staging Server is a database that acts as an intermediary storage area for raw or processed data before it is used for reporting and analysis. It allows businesses to consolidate, transform, and prepare data before integrating it into their reporting tools. The BI Staging Server provides structured data that can be queried and extracted for further analysis.
- A BI Reporting Solution like Power BI is a visualization and analytics tool that helps users create interactive reports and dashboards from processed data. It connects to data sources, including BI Staging Servers, and enables users to analyse trends, generate insights, and make data-driven decisions through charts, graphs, and other visual representations.
3) What data is available
The BI Staging Database includes multiple datasets from the Easy Employer application, and these are detailed in the following data dictionary: Easy Employer - BI staging server - data dictionary
