4.3.1.1 Stage Entity

Stage Entities are a part of the Unified Data-Sourcing layer for data for a wide variety of analytical needs. The Staging layer faces the operational (OLTP) and Front Office Systems of a bank. It consists of entities to capture key business and operational data from these systems, which is then processed by one or more Analytical Engines.

Since these entities are designed to facilitate loading efficiency, they are denormalized. Typically, this data is extracted from source systems and placed in the object store and then loaded to Staging Entities using data services.
