Introduction #

xLytix offers a variety of features designed to simplify the data analytics shift from a variety of sources such as SAP, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, RedShift, etc. to native cloud technology, with the ability to extract data from the source systems and load it into a cloud destination.

In this guide, we will walk you through the process of using xLytix from exploring the xLytix user interface, setting up source systems and cloud destinations and then walk you through how to create and configure data syncs, jobs, and schedules. We’ll also cover how to monitor your data integration processes and build data models using the Data Modeller. Additionally, we will also cover how we govern and analyze the data.
