The Data Hub provides a real-time source for many of the universities read only APIs and the reporting Student Services Data Mart. As we evolve the Data Hub to the next generation Data Lake and expand to include HCM and Finance sources, the licensing of IIDR is restrictive.

As the technology evolved, those users who used to maintain their employees' leave records and/or their financial records in some spreadsheets or notebooks, the challenge was to convince those users that it was ok, and it was safe to move away from their trusted spreadsheets and notebooks and replace them with ERP systems.
