QUESTION 18 OF 25

What is a powercenter as it relates to data migration, and what is the difference between a powercenter and a powermart?

"The two functions within a data migration system which access data from external sources are called powercenters and powermarts. Both of these connect with external sources, but only powercenters can connect with ERP systems such as PeopleSoft, Oracle Apps, and SAP. The difference between a powercenter and a powermart is the volume of data it can handle. Powercenters handle large volumes, while power marts can only handle small volumes."

This question this summer to the previous one and that it is a technical question asking you to define and compare two similar terms. You can use the same approach you already employed by first defining the words and then describing the difference between them.

"A powercenter is a function within the data migration process which connects with data sources and extracts information from them. The sources are ERP applications, including SAP, Oracle Apps, and PeopleSoft. Powercenters process large volumes of data, whereas a powermart processes small volumes."
