Database Blend

Save money associated with maintaining several databases. Successfully blend multiple SPI databases reducing costs, promoting better tag management, application integration, consistent standards and higher quality data.

The Database Blend module bundles all of the key sub modules that you require to perform successful database blends. Efficiently align your standards e.g. picklists, datasheet forms, reference library. Map the source domain(s), plant(s), area(s), and unit(s) to the target database. Understand what will be added, changed and deleted. Blend the source database(s) into the target.

Reducing databases enables easier data integration between different enterprise software applications, and design tools.

Align your SPI database domain, plant, area, unit hierarchy structure with your company’s information management strategy for the various design tools, information management, maintenance, operations software applications e.g. other SPPID, SPEL, SPF, SAP.

Key benefits: Blend SPI databases, reduce costs and reduce user frustration locating information. Promote consistent deliverables, easier integration and higher quality data.
