Business Justification:
The current "all-or-nothing" ingestion model creates critical inefficiencies:
- Performance: Slows processing and analytics with unnecessary data.
- Cost: Increases storage and compute expenses for irrelevant fields.
- Clarity: Complicates data models and obscures meaningful insights.
- Risk: Expands the security and governance footprint unnecessarily.
Conclusion:
Attribute selection is a foundational data best practice. This enhancement is essential for the CPQ FDI to deliver a performant, cost-effective, and valuable analytical solution. We urge its prioritization. This even helps with another idea we have submitted to enhance the product to include extracting CPQ CLOB attributes, which is a critical road block for FDI CPQ. This feature would have helped avoid the roadblock as well.
