* Siebel Analytics Administration Tool (Continued) The basic function of the Siebel Analytics Administration Tool is to create the mapping of physical data schemas (tables joins) to a logical business model. The logical business model stores a simplified mapping to one or more physical data sources. It also contains a shared library or default drill paths, complex derived calculations, aggregate navigation, etc. Most administrative tasks are edited/modified through the Siebel Analytics Administration Tool. The Presentation layer is a second layer of abstraction that sit-on-top of Business Model. Administrators simply drag-and-drop logical applications or tables from the Business Model into the Presentation layer. The Presentation layer is presented to end-users in a complete WYSIWYG framework. Administrators can Sort, Reorder, and combine attributes and calculation in virtually anyway they like. The goal is to make the navigation of the Subject Area as easy as possible for the end-users building self-service analyses. Another benefit of the Presentation layer is that administrator can create as many views into the Business Model as they like. You can create an simplified Presentation for Executives or a very robust Presentation for Power-Users (many complex calculations, etc.). Each view is associated with the users role and responsibility. NOTE: The two layers of abstraction on-top of the physical data allow administrators to focus on building robust applications without the fear of re-work when the underlying physical data changes. Data Warehousing is an organic process, not like a race with a beginning and an end. Client’s home-grown database systems change from time-to-time, much like how the Siebel Operational databases is enhanced release-over-release. As systems are tuned (i.e. Aggregates or Fragments added) these changes need to be accounted for. Legacy BI (Business Objects, Cognos, etc.) tools force administrators to hard-code SQL into ea
