EIF Studio (formerly Serduct/DataLink Studio) is flexible enough to be used over complex, enterprise data applications or scaled down to deliver data from a single table. It all depends on your data requirements. EIF Studio allows you to build a DataLink (intelligent active metadata layer) for your data. Rather than simply describe what data is available, the DataLink can present your data in a meaningful and logical way that makes sense to your business and clients. DataLinks can report over any data housed within your organization without the need for complex programming. Once EIF Studio has defined this business logic, your data is made available to all Vision toolsets. Benefits of EIF Studio

Incremental Development Strategy It is your data – so you choose how to create your own DataLink. The Incremental Development Strategy (IDS) allows you to choose an approach that best suits your data needs and your business strategy. You may have 1000 tables and 10,000 fields in your application – but what do you need to report on? With the IDS, you choose. The IDS approach is broken into 3 primary areas:
Fast Track | Get to your data quickly. Fast Track will expose your data to the Vision Reporting Toolset, providing live access to your data. You can run real-time reports and create ad-hoc queries using the familiar Microsoft Office Suite. |
Tailored | Refine your data selection and presentation. Create a refined data selection with customised naming conventions, version control and fundamental business logic. The Tailored approach can be used to describe a discrete area of your business or application and is the platform, foundation and discipline for Enterprise deployment. |
Enterprise | Intelligent access to your data. Enterprise extends DataLink development and deployment to deliver a full reporting solution across your unique business needs and your data. Enterprise constructs the full business logic, business rules and business knowledge necessary for a sophisticated and intelligent reporting solution. |
