Your network elements store and output millions of bytes of data each day. Encapsulated in the data is useful information which can be used as input for marketing programs, performance tuning, network trouble resolution, site acquisition, management reports, fraud management, facility planning, billing verification, and much more. The problem is that the data is cryptic, difficult to access, and in formats which make it almost impossible to use. The Data Manager can expose virtually any data source, interpret it, and transfer it to your SQL database as structured data. Using enterprise database business tools you may already have or the Graphical Report Generator, you can unlock the secrets of your network and unleash the power of the information it contains. The Data Manager offers the following features:
