Connect: Fast access to data
from diverse data sources
Compose: Easily create unified
virtual data models and views
by combining and
transforming data from
multiple sources.
Consume: Expose consistent
information to data
consumers in the right form
thru standard data access
methods.
INCREASE ROA turn data silos into actionable information
