Staging Data Store

Definition: A staging data store holds data in a format optimized for collection and aggregation, and verification of business rules for data quality.

What This Means: Just getting data into the front door can take time and slow down the data provider out in the districts, so staging data stores make that process efficient. Optimized for that task alone, they can run only the business rules required to ensure quality data get in, but save the longer processing for later.
