integration into one platform. With Data Services, an organization can transform and
improve data anywhere. It provides a Single environment for development, runtime,

• Fundamental capabilities of Data Services is extracting, transforming, and loading (ETL)
data from heterogeneous source systems, transform that data to meet the business
requirements of your organization, and load the data into a single location.
• You create applications (jobs) that specify data mappings and transformations using the
Data services designer. Use any type of data, including structured or unstructured data
from databases, flat files and ERP systems (such as SAP) to process and cleanse and
remove duplicate entries. You can create and deliver projects more quickly with a single
user interface.
