Help Desk Hot Topic: Reports from SWIFT or the EPM Data Warehouse 

Help Desk Hot Topics feature Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) answered by the SWIFT Help Desk. Use these as a friendly reminder of a process or as an opportunity to learn something new!

Question: What are the differences between the reports ran in SWIFT and those from the EPM Data Warehouse?

A: The Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Data Warehouse is a reporting tool outside of SWIFT. Every evening, there is a batch transfer of data from SWIFT to EPM. Therefore, the data accessed through EPM is only as recent as the day before. Both SWIFT and EPM are accessed through the Administrative portal and require separate security clearance. Agency staff with approved security, can customize the data and display of an EPM report using canned reports and SWIFT Subject Areas. You can save your customized EPM report in various formats.

The reports from SWIFT have real time data. The data is limited by the established parameters of the existing query from the Query Viewer or report from the Report Manager. The output and format for SWIFT reports are predetermined and cannot be changed.


SWIFT and EPM Data Warehouse Training

The SWIFT Training team offers training through a variety of methods. There are SWIFT training guides and training videos, EPM training guides, webinars, labs, eLearning, and individual sessions (by request through the SWIFT Help Desk).
