Protect Your Investment Quickly & Accurately

Avoid A Whole New Investment

We spoke about one option to replace Discoverer; far from protecting your investment, this becomes a whole new investment – one which will require deep pockets – and a lot of time. The only way to truly protect your investment is to use a solution built as a Discoverer Replacement that includes:

  • A Migration Utility – Fast and Accurate.
  • The Ability to Merge EULs, Maintenance of the Existing Report Infrastructure Intact.
  • A Facility to Run Reports from Excel & Mobile An Easy to Learn with Added Functionality and Features.
  • Inherent EBS Responsibility Security & User Authentication.
  • The Provision of Dashboards with Pre-Built Visualizations, Report Scheduling, Distribution & Bursting.
  • The Ability to get EBS DFF/KFF.
  • Drilldown Capability Through Reports, Dashboards, Excel and Mobile.
  • Multiple Output.
  • In-Memory Analytics & Data Mashups.
  • The Ability Connect to Other Data Sources including Cloud Applications.

Managed properly, the migration of Discoverer will provide you with an opportunity, without the need for a huge budget or a time-consuming project, to:

Seamlessly migrate your workbooks and components to create fully functional, ad-hoc capable reports! The column on the left shows what you started with, and on the right, what you will have after successful migration to SplashBI reports.

Migration Steps & Tasks Life Beyond Discoverer
  • Export workbooks into an eex/XML file or a ZIP file for multiple Workbooks.
  • SplashBI provides a patch that needs to be installed in the Discoverer End User Layer from where Workbooks and Business Areas need to be migrated.
  • Migrate Discoverer business areas into SplashBI.
  • Upload Discoverer files exported in step 1 above, these will be migrated to SplashBI reports.
  • Migrate Responsibilities from EBS into SplashBI.
  • Migrate Users from EBS into SplashBI.
  • Manual intervention is used to handle exceptions such as database function calls used in calculation columns in Discoverer Workbooks.
  • Migrate Roles for non EBS users into SplashBI.

Upon completing the above steps, you undertake UAT, possibly needing to run more than one iteration on some workbooks.
