Tools are in the center
The center is all about technology and tools. We hope you'll bring your toolbox so we can fill it together.
Here we present our favorite “tool menu” based on the Microsoft Cloud set of tools. This menu is a combination of tools which worked well together for us in our projects, including Agile BI projects. Of course, there are many more tool vendors on the market and consequently there are many other combinations possible. Nevertheless, the following list gives you a starting point for your own evaluation process.
Tool Category | Vendor / Product |
|---|---|
| Database | Microsoft Azure Synapse |
| Data Warehouse Automation | |
| Middleware | Theobald (for extracting SAP Data) CData (if no native driver available to connect to source system) |
| Data Test Automation | BiG EVAL |
| Continuous Integration & Deployment, Version Control, Backlog Mgmt. | Azure DevOps |
