Data Services is a data integration platform that provides for the movement and management of both batch and real-time data. It can store data in operational databases, data warehouses, or data marts, and update stored data in either a batch or real-time manner. Data Services also provides a single graphical development environment for developing, testing, and deploying the entire data integration platform.

It stores user‑created and predefined system objects, source and target metadata, and transformation rules, and can be local or central for multi‑user development.
