Goals of Data Management Direct and manage the flow of data into the Hyperion

applications

Provide a mechanism for understanding the state of theHyperion application at any time.

Provide the ability to recreate a particular data event.

Integrate, synchronize and automate all Hyperion back-end processes with IT.

Leverage best aspects of relational & multidimensional

databases + scripting. Provide a logical framework for extending and enhancing

Hyperion applications.
