Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for joining logistical and financial data related to procurement spending in a database. Financial data can be replicated from a first source to an analytics database. Procurement data from a second source can be replicated to the analytics database. The financial data can be filtered for procurement-related items to obtain procurement-related financial data. The obtained procurement financial data can be joined with the procurement data in the analytics database based on related information between the financial data and the procurement data. One or more reports based on the joined financial and procurement data can be generated in the analytics database. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, computer-readable medium and a method for maintaining data in a format usable by a plurality of different computer applications. Data is input into a first application document having a first format and received by the system. The data is parsed from the first application document, and the parsed data is converted to a raw data string. A template associated with the raw data string is selected in a second computer application. Based on information related to the association of the template to the raw data string, the raw data string is converted to a second application document having a second format. The second application document is presented on an output device or stored in the second document format.
