Access keys for Galileo are required.
Galileo is a Coruson data warehouse. It has been designed to surface the data in ways that help to provide good performance on complex queries and expose related data in an efficient manner.
Galileo uses database view to present the data to users. Some of these views may be able to provide all the data required by a user for their reports, while others will allow complex data to be pulled from multiple locations with what appears to be a simple query.
Loading data into the warehouse is designed to allow the process to run frequently, allowing the warehouse to be kept as close to changes within Coruson as possible – usually with under an hour between updates.
The analysis can be performed by connecting to Galileo and performing your queries or you can load the data into a larger database system for more extensive querying or for integration with data collated from other systems.
