eRAG’s unique ability to query multiple data sources ensures users get highly accurate answers derived from different systems and managed by different teams. By unlocking the value of structured data across your business and breaking down barriers between data sources, users get the information they need, when they need it. Instantly. 

Connectivity

eRAG connects to different data sources, as needed, to support specific business use cases. Offering a dynamic and flexible environment, eRAG lets you add new data sources incrementally on the fly ensuring continuous support for your business needs. 

Application

An application represents a business context comprising tables from various sources, creating a dedicated workspace for professionals in a specific department or function. For instance, separate applications can be created for account managers, procurement, and support representatives. Tables can be part of multiple applications without establishing interdependencies.

Key advantages of department-specific applications include:

• Accuracy: Precise context increases the likelihood of users obtaining relevant information
• Data privacy: Users access only tables within their authorized applications

Query Execution

When an SQL statement is generated, it is executed across different data sources using a data virtualization component. This approach eliminates unnecessary data integrations and simplifies user experience. The virtualization layer handles complexities like:

• Reconciling tables with identical names across different sources
• Managing variations in SQL dialects
• Delivering a coherent, harmonized response from potentially diverse tables and platforms
