===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.

SSC’s business lines are producing a wealth of data and information from a variety of sources across multiple domains.  Being able to use this data effectively and efficiently in a consistent and replicable way has been a pervasive challenge for SSC.
