# Accessing raw data (e.g. for ML training)

There are many options for pulling raw data from the portfolios of projects within Ecosuite. Most often this functionality is needed by data scientists to speed their workflows, but also these capabilities can be useful for systems integrators.  This page identifies all those options providing high level guidance and points you to the detailed documentation for each of the options.
