== Data: The Enterprise Data Repository (EDR) ==
=== What is the Enterprise Data Repository (EDR)? ===
Siloed data sources have been brought together, modelled for referential integrity, ensuring accuracy and consistency of data in the EDR to allow 360-degree views by service and/or organization, including historical trends. The EDR is a tool agnostic Oracle data base, which can be accessed by an analyst's preferred method. Currently available tools to access the EDR are Power BI (Coming Soon), and the SAS suite of Enterprise Guide (EG), Visual Analytics (VA), and SAS add-in for MS Excel.
=== The Data Challenge ===
