Wrangler was created through a cooperative alliance with the oil industry to address the drawbacks of typical data warehousing solutions. After careful analysis, Wrangler was developed based on four powerful principles for information delivery:
Information Freshness – all datasets are dynamically delivered.
Focus on information vs. reporting – give the power to the decision makers.
Vertical silos must be broken down – data federation exponentially increases information value.
Information must be readily available – an efficient delivery framework accelerates the decision making process.
