# What is Primeur Data Shaper

**Primeur Data Shaper** is our **data transformation solution providing quick and flexible any-to-any data transformations**. It is designed to work perfectly with Primeur Data Mover complementing and boosting its capabilities.

Primeur Data Shaper is a graphical, wizard-driven, and easy-to-use software that supports any-to-any transformation for all data formats – flat files, CSV, XML, Excel, Database, etc. It also supports file splitting, transformation, routing, aggregation, and enrichment to support varying business needs.

The Primeur Data Shaper consists of:

* **Data Shaper Designer**: used for developing data transformations
* **Data Shaper Engine**: provides enterprise-level automation; high availability and parallelization capabilities are inherited from Data Mover, since it runs on STENG peers.

Both components are based on [**Apache Hop**](https://hop.apache.org/) and are fully integrated into the **Data One** suite.
