Business Scenario

This scenario is an example of the tasks performed by the database administrator, the application administrator, and the sales representatives. Your company may follow a different sequence according to its business requirements.

The database administrator (DBA) transfers company data into the Siebel Life Sciences interface data tables. The Siebel EIM transfers the data to the Siebel Life Sciences base tables.

Later, the DBA receives syndicated data from a data provider (for example, IMS Health) and transfers this data to a staging table.

The application administrator uses administrative views to map EIM_SYND_DATA fields to S_SYND_DATA, to load the data from the staging table into the application base tables.

After loading a syndicated data update, the application administrator extracts portions of the data according to territory assignment and sends a compressed version of the data extracts to mobile users in the field.

The sales representatives download the data extracts and import them into their local databases. Using the imported data in the Analysis views, they can evaluate their performance and determine where to focus their sales activities.
